Psychiatric News (10/25) reported, “Restricting the sale of flavored tobacco products may cut tobacco use among adolescents,” researchers concluded after comparing two Massachusetts municipalities, one that “restricted the sale of flavored tobacco products – those meant to taste like fruit, candy, honey, etc. – to tobacco retail stores such as smoking bars, vape shops, and tobacconists that only sell to adults aged 21 years and older,” and one that had no such policy in place at the time of the study. The findings were published online Oct. 24 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
