E-Cigarette Policy
Much public debate about electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has
centered around efforts from public health authorities to reduce youth
e-cigarette use, which is harmful to health.
However, e-cigarettes may still be useful for helping some adults quit
smoking, with recent evidence suggesting that e-cigarettes are more
effective for smoking cessation than government-approved nicotine
replacement therapy products such as nicotine gum and patches.
Kenneth Warner and coauthors identify eight high-priority policies that
they believe could deter youth use of e-cigarettes
without causing a reversion to cigarette smoking, as well as keep
e-cigarettes an option for adults who are unable or unwilling to quit
smoking.
Keeping e-cigarettes an option to help adults stop smoking "is a matter
of social justice," Warner and coauthors write.
The authors indicate that African Americans suffer disproportionately
from smoking-related mortality, and Americans with lower educations and
incomes, members of the LGBTQ community, and people with mental health
conditions constitute a disproportionate share of the smoking
population.

policy agenda for electronic cigarettes.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Christopher Whaley and coauthors
recommend three key strategies
employers should implement now to improve the effectiveness of their
health care purchasing activities.
Elevating Voices: Hispanic Heritage Month: In the August 2022 issue,
Irineo Cabreros and coauthors argue that knowledge, not ignorance, of
race and ethnicity is necessary to combat algorithmic bias
.
Imputing race and ethnicity information can expand opportunities to not
only identify and assess algorithmic bias but also combat it in both
clinical and nonclinical settings.
