AMERICA IS IN the grip of a health scare over e-cigarettes. At least seven people have died and around 380 are suffering from a mysterious lung disease linked to vaping. In response, national and local lawmakers are restricting e-cigarettes. On September 11th the Trump administration said it would ban the sale of most flavoured e-cigarettes. Michigan and New York have announced similar bans. On September 16th California’s governor signed an executive order regulating e-cigarette sales.
Concern over vaping has been growing for years. Much of it has focused on teenagers, more and more of whom are warming to the habit. In 2018, according to an annual survey by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than one in ten eighth-graders said they vaped nicotine in the past year. Among high-school seniors the figure was 37%. Nearly 21% reported vaping in the past 30 days, up from 11% the previous year.
