Dear PAVe Supporters,

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) just released the latest figures about the youth vaping epidemic, the 2020 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS). On today’s episode, Meredith and Dorian discuss how this important federal report contains some promising news: a decline in the number of teens regularly vaping, from 5.4 million to 3.6 million. However, these numbers, a return to 2018 figures, remain at “epidemic” levels, the term used then by FDA and the Surgeon General. The difference now is that these teens report more frequent use, possibly a sign of greater nicotine addiction. We’re also alarmed by a1000% increase in the use of disposable e-cigarettes and a rise in use of menthol-flavored products. That includes menthol JUUL, a flavor for which the company has filed for FDA approval, despite claiming it has abandoned flavors to discourage youth use.

After you are done listening, sign up to get involved with PAVe on the ground.

After years of delay, FDA has finally begun reviewing applications from thousands of flavored e-cigarette products that have never been regulated.

With 3.6 million teens vaping more frequently and 8 out of 10 of these teens using flavors, including Menthol -- coupled with new research warning that they are five-to-seven times more likely to contract COVID--it has never been more urgent that FDA ban flavored nicotine products that have hooked our kids!

DEMAND FDA BAN FLAVORS

It takes parents like you to protect our kids from the dangers of vaping and the predatory behavior of Big Tobacco.

Sincerely,
The PAVe Team
