Shah: Federal menthol flavoring ban could help reduce teen vaping & tobacco use – Long Island Business News
Posted: at 4:23 pm
Recently, the Biden Administration put a regulation on hold by the Food and Drug Administration, which would ban menthol in all cigarettes and cigars. As a 16-year-old high school student, it has taken the FDA my entire lifetime to determine menthol cigarettes are dangerous; enacted only after several lawsuitsasserting menthol cigarettes as a tool to quit smokingrigorous scientific evaluation and public statements by Big Tobacco. The standard would reduce the appeal of cigarettes, particularly to youth, and decrease the likelihood that non-users who would otherwise experiment with menthol cigarettes, would progress to regular cigarettes, according to an FDA report. The report highlights dissociating menthol from cigarettes would reduce the temptation of these products to kids my age. The regulation would ban menthol flavoring, originally excluded from the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009, which outlawed most flavors.
Flavors facilitate addiction, especially for youth. Additionally, menthol use is pervasive across all high school friend groups. Some bow to peer pressure, while others use it to calm anxiety. A highschooler finds a birthday cake flavored vape more appealing than a standard, unflavored vape.
Menthol is no exception. This flavoring changes the way the brain registers pain and taste sensations. It is particularly enticing to kids my age: In 2023, 40.4% of middle and high school cigarette smokers used menthol flavors, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Supported by the increased marketing to those under 18, menthol cigarettes are a gateway to lifelong addiction.
According to the American Lung Association, 87% of adult smokers began in their teens.
Instead of just delaying a public health intervention, which could save millions of lives, the current federal administration should implement and expand this prohibition on menthol to vape products.
The use of menthol flavoring in e-cigarettes in teens rose from 16% in 2016 to 57.3% in 2019. Although high school vaping rates declined in 2023, from 14% to 10%, 1 out of 4 of these students report daily use, a precursor to addiction. In order to make a more significant public health impact, the current regulations surrounding combustible cigarettes should also include e-cigarettes.
Last year, New York State increased the tax on a pack of combustible cigarettes by $1 but failed to take any action against menthol-flavored cigarettes. While federal action is halted, New York State should feel increased urgency to prohibit the sale of menthol flavor cigarettes and other tobacco products.
The delay in prohibiting menthol in cigarettes and cigars raises concerns about the impact on youth addiction. The evidence suggests that prohibiting menthol would decrease youth tobacco use, presenting an opportunity to make a substantial public health intervention to prevent lifelong addiction.

Schumer and anti-vaping zealots should stand down – Washington Times
Posted: at 4:23 pm
OPINION:
One lasting effect of the pandemic is a deep mistrust of what Washington says about public health.
Thats why it is even more absurd that the government now wants to wade back into the vaping issue. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, wants to reopen the debate about not only vaping, but also ZYN which, like vaping, is a smoking cessation product. Mr. Schumer asserts that ZYN is being marketed to teens, a catchall excuse often made when the government wants to infringe on our freedoms.
For now, Mr. Schumers call is for investigations of ZYN and similar products by the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission. But following close behind will be calls for legislation so Congress can again advise us on how best to quit smoking.
Smoking kills 480,000 people a year and adds billions to U.S. health care costs. Research has established that vaping is among the most effective smoking cessation tools available.
Dr. Robert J. Shmerling, senior faculty editor of Harvard Health Publishing, wrote on Oct. 28, 2021, An analysis of 61 studies found that e-cigarette use was more effective than other approaches to quitting smoking. The study authors estimated that out of every 100 people who tried to quit smoking by vaping, nine to 14 might be successful. When using only other methods, such as nicotine patches or behavioral counseling, only four to seven smokers out of 100 might quit.
Research supports the idea that vaping, menthol cigarettes, and the newer nicotine pouches will help people get off smoking cigarettes.
So were on a path where Mr. Schumer will pose as the savior of the lungs of Americas youth. But he will be doing something pretty close to the opposite. Americans understand that children hooked on smoking will damage themselves and their children and drive up health care costs for all of us for decades unless we help them kick the habit.
Are vaping and ZYN the only ways to do this? No. But they are among the most effective methods for quitting smoking, which most would see as a societal good. The argument for government protecting us from these products is exceedingly thin.
If Mr. Schumer or others can make the argument that these products are more dangerous than smoking or do not work as cessation products, then they should do so. Win hearts with the commitment to be correct about what these products do and the threats they pose relative to decades of cigarette smoking, which we know is dangerous to our health. Win minds with solid evidence that the products smoking cessation claims are inflated.
But no more mandates from the people who made us stand 6 feet apart, and show our papers to fly or ride trains. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, Alabama, is on to Mr. Schumers game. Mr. Tuberville said Mr. Schumer also plans to go after menthol cigarettes because he knows more about the choices Americans should make than they do.
So is Sen. J.D. Vance, Ohio Republican, who says with the crisis at the border, wars overseas, a struggling economy and a battle over appropriations, this might not be the time to devote all their energies to regulating the personal choices of Americans. Rep. Richard Hudson, New York Republican, branded Mr. Schumer Big Brother and posted a picture of himself in hunting gear, daring anybody to come and take it.
These members of Congress are telling us that Americans dont want or need Congress weighing in on this issue, especially with so many other issues demanding their attention.
It should also be pointed out that Mr. Schumer and his allies dont object to vaping when marijuana is involved. Only those who are trying to quit smoking are targeted by his efforts, which makes the whole protect the children argument even more suspicious.
Not many responsible adults want children to smoke, vape, or otherwise use marijuana. But many do get hooked on cigarettes, and vaping and ZYN and similar products are among the most effective ways to beat that addiction.
Also, Mr. Schumer is no expert on health. He backed all the most stringent COVID-19 restrictions, and his state was the worst when it came to locking down citizens unnecessarily.
This is no time for him to wade into debates on subjects he knows little about.

Abilene ISD reports surge in on-campus vaping, 150+ THC incidents – Yahoo News
Posted: at 4:23 pm
ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) Abilene ISD recently sent out a letter to parents, informing them about a surge in vaping across its campuses. This comes less than six months after House Bill 114 was passed, requiring public schools to remove any student from class who is caught with ane-cigarette. In the first semester of the 2023-2024 school year, AISD reported that there have already been hundreds of vape-related incidents.
Abilene ISD adopts new disciplinary plan for students caught vaping
Alison Camp, executive director of Abilene ISD student services, told KTAB/KRBC students vaping continues to be a massive problem across the nation, Were seeing vapes with all ages; middle school and high school We want parents to realize that these vapes are easy for kids to get, and they are- theyre dangerous.
In a 2017 study by the CDC, 2.4 million middle and high school students were reportedly regular users of e-cigarettes. Both the CDC and AISD attribute the heightened usage to marketing tactics. By 2014, the CDC said 18 million US middle and high school youth were exposed to e-cigarette ads.
They tend to kind of mimic the candy wrappers and they put fun flavors in them, explained Camp, and so they really market to kids.
Abilene ISD highlights hazards of vaping as district sees surge in e-cigarette use
Abilene ISD reported 158 THC vapes and 181 nicotine vapes, for a total of 339 total incidents of students with e-cigarettes on campus just this school year.
What they dont understand is some of these vapes have THC, and it is illegal. Its a felony. So, even being in possession- even if its not theirs, can be a bad thing, Camp said.
Medical director with the Taylor County public health district, Dr. Gary Holland, told KTAB/KRBC nicotine in vapes can be very addicting no matter the age, The amount of nicotine actually in those units can be as much as a pack of cigarettes if you use the whole unit.
Dr. Holland continued to list the negative effects of regular use of nicotine which includes brain development and chemicals that are harmful to the lungs.
Neurological system effects like inability to concentrate, inattention, you know, trouble learning, listed Dr. Holland, and so, the young persons brain is more subjectable to injury, so theres a lot of concern.
Abilene ISD to allow chaplains to volunteer in schools
The American Lung Association lists some of the ingredients found in a nicotine vape:
Nicotine a highly addictive substance that negatively affects adolescent brain development
Propylene glycol a common additive in food; also used to make things like antifreeze, paint solvent, and artificial smoke in fog machines
Carcinogens- chemicals known to cause cancer, including acetaldehyde and formaldehyde
Acrolein a herbicide primarily used to kill weeds, can cause irreversible lung damage
Diacetyl a chemical linked to a lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans aka popcorn lung
Diethylene glycol a toxic chemical used in antifreeze that is linked to lung disease
Heavy metals such as nickel, tin, lead
Cadmium a toxic metal found in traditional cigarettes that causes breathing problems and disease
Benzene avolatile organic compound (VOC)found in car exhaust
Ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs
Whats more is the look of vapes change all the time. Many parents and teachers wont realize what is in their students hand. The CDC has a comprehensive dictionary on the matter.

To tackle the issue, Abilene ISD said the school system is working to teach students the risks associated with vaping.
Parents can help. They are the first teachers, Camp urged.
Abilene ISD students and parents can submit concerns to its online forum called Speak Up. Speak Up encourages students and staff to report bullying, personal health concerns, inappropriate behavior, crisis at home, and vaping.
