cherry vanilla blueberry mango you think
you're probably ordering ice cream or
something right these are just some of
the flavors available with e-cigarettes
yeah not anymore though a federal ban
gets underway today our John Genovese
joining us live from Phoenix and John
not all of the flavors are going away
but a lot of them that actually entice
teenagers are yeah guys that's the goal
to reduce teen vaping use but as you
mentioned this only applies to certain
ecig arete products some flavors will
still be allowed and even though this
ban goes into effect today companies can
reapply in May to get these flavor pods
back on the market so let's break down
what all of this means in a nutshell
products like Jewel and views that use
prefilled pods in terms of those
cartridges the flavors will now be
restricted fruit dessert and mint
flavors are all banned those are the
flavors most often winding up in schools
being used by people who are under age
but menthol and tobacco flavors will
still be allowed now all this is
separate from a change that went into
effect last year when the FDA raised the
age to buy vaping devices from 18 to 21
our state also taking action Attorney
General mark burnovich filed a lawsuit
against east cigarette makers Jul and
Eon smoke for Consumer Fraud he told
this to our news partners last month at
KTAR
they used the you know ads that were
designed to target youth they had these
um you know pop-up parties they had cool
events so-called cool events and like la
in New York with DJs and so they made an
effort to appeal to young people that
way through social media through the
events
and the numbers are really staggering in
terms of the last round of data that was
released almost one in three high school
students admit to using a vaping product
in the last 30 days that's up from 12%
back in 2017 as so many people are now
looking at how to stop this for now
