Led by UNC Family Medicine and UNC Lineberger researchers, a systematic review of scientific literature revealed the role flavored e-cigarettes have on product preference, appeal, harm perceptions, willingness to use, and initiation among youth. Flavors similarly affect adult e-cigarette use, though the relationship between e-cigarette flavors and cessation of cigarette smoking among adults remains unclear.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

CHAPEL HILL, NC \u2013 October 24, 2019 \u2013 As more and more youth use electronic cigarettes, combined with research showing the health consequences of vaping \u2013 including nicotine addiction \u2013 researchers at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill found that non-menthol flavors attract youth and adults to use e-cigarettes and that the use of flavored e-cigarettes contributes to multiple pathways linked to higher e-cigarette use among youth.<\/p>\n

The study<\/a>, published in the\u00a0British Medical Journal Open, is a systematic review of all peer-reviewed scientific literature published on e-cigarette use behaviors and perceptions through March of 2018. The researchers reviewed 51 articles, including 17 published before 2016 and 34 published between 2016 and 2018.<\/p>\n

The researchers found:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Five studies indicate that non-menthol flavors in e-cigarettes decrease the perception that e-cigarettes are harmful, particularly fruit and candy flavors.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Six studies indicate that flavors increase the willingness of youth and young adults to try or initiate the use of e-cigarettes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Seven studies showed that flavors increase product appeal among adults.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Five studies revealed that flavors are a primary reason adults use e-cigarettes.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Six studies showed that the role of flavored e-cigarettes on smoking cessation among adults is unclear, though one study among youth showed that youth who use flavored e-cigarettes were less likely to quit tobacco.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsistent evidence shows that flavors attract both youth and adults to use e-cigarettes,\u201d said Adam Goldstein, MD, MPH, professor of family medicine and member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. \u201cGiven the fact that nicotine is highly addictive and can affect brain development \u2013 as well as these clear findings that the impact of flavors on youth is strong and consistent, we believe that banning non-menthol flavors in e-cigarettes will help reduce the epidemic of youth e-cigarette use.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most e-cigarettes contain nicotine, and most include at least one of about 7,000 e-cigarette flavors available for purchase, such as blueberry cheesecake, mango, cinnamon, sweet milk, and lemon crumble cake. Many flavors have candy or sweet names, such as gummy bear, cookies \u2018n cream, and cotton candy, that appeal more to younger e-cigarette users. Studies over the past five years have shown a steady rise in vaping among youth, and\u00a0a 2019 study<\/a>\u00a0showed that about 28 percent of U.S. youth are current e-cigarette users.<\/p>\n

Hannah Baker, MPH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lead author Hannah Baker, MPH, research associate in the UNC Department of Family Medicine and UNC Lineberger, said, \u201cMany studies we reviewed showed that flavors were particularly appealing to youth and cited as a primary reason for use among this age group. The use of e-cigarettes among youth may be a gateway to future cigarette use,\u00a0and nicotine is especially harmful to developing adolescent brains. These facts, along with biomedical research linking vaping to multiple adverse health effects, make the recent precipitous increase in e-cigarette use among youth particularly alarming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker added, \u201cOur synthesis of evidence regarding the role of non-menthol flavors in e-cigarettes on product perceptions and use is particularly relevant to the FDA\u2019s recently proposed policy framework that seeks to place additional regulations on the sale of non-menthol-flavored e-cigarettes to youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

This new\u00a0BMJ\u00a0Open\u00a0review significantly expands earlier findings about e-cigarettes and flavors. The researchers\u2019 previous review showed initial evidence that flavors in e-cigarettes were primary reasons for willingness to try or use the products. This expanded systematic review includes emerging longitudinal data and adds evidence regarding the expanded role of flavors in e-cigarettes, particularly among youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmong youth, flavors increase not only preferences for e-cigarettes but they also increase e-cigarette product appeal, willingness to use, susceptibility to use and initiation, as well as decrease e-cigarette product harm perceptions,\u201d Goldstein said. \u201cAmong adults, the expanded research now shows that e-cigarette flavors also increase product appeal and enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n
