HealthDay (10/23, Thompson) reports, “Tasty flavors entice young people to try e-cigarettes, getting them hooked on what can become a lifetime habit,” researchers concluded after assessing “data collected in 2013-2014 to see whether people are more likely to first try a flavored e-cigarette or other tobacco product,” then examining “data gathered a year later to see if those who first tried a flavored product were still using tobacco.” The study revealed the “seven out of 10 kids who were new users of tobacco first tried a flavored product, as well as more than half of young adults.” The findings were published online in JAMA Network Open.
