While flavored cigarettes (excluding menthol) are now banned by U.S. federal law, tobacco products such as cigars, cigarillos, hookah, as well as emerging products like electronic cigarettes, are available in a wide variety of flavors. This session will explore types and brands of flavored products used, reasons for use of flavored tobacco products, the association between flavors of e-cigarettes and perceptions of harm in youth, local and state legal issues surrounding the regulation of flavored tobacco products, and the impact of local regulations on flavored tobacco product sales.
Session Objectives: Identify potential approaches for controlling flavored tobacco production, marketing and use. Discuss the legal authority for state and local governments to regulate the sale of flavored tobacco, including menthol-flavored cigarettes. List the features of the NYC ban on flavored non-cigarette tobacco products. Assess the impact that flavors and peers have on e-cigarette risk perception in adolescents.
