 🎯Banning Flavored Vapes Could Help More Teens Quit, Study Finds!

Did you know that banning flavored vapes can help more teens quit vaping? A new study found that eliminating flavors from e-cigarettes might reduce their use in young adults. Researchers surveyed over 1,400 people aged 14 to 21 who used e-cigarettes at least once a day in the preceding month. They asked them which flavors they used and what they would do if the U.S. federal law limited flavors to tobacco and menthol. If sweet flavors were banned, 39% of respondents said they would stop using e-cigarettes, and that number jumped to 71% if tobacco were the only option. Respondents who preferred flavors with cooling additives, such as fruit ice, were more likely to say they would quit if tobacco was the only flavor available, compared to menthol flavor users. This shows an important distinction between these groups, according to the study's senior author Alayna Tackett.

Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and preventing young people from vaping is a crucial public health goal. However, researchers don't know if respondents would actually follow through with this behavior or start using other tobacco products. Future research could examine this more in places that already restrict flavors or study a more representative sample. The study was published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.

 🎯Fentanyl Takes Over the Drug Market: Overdose Deaths Surge While Heroin Falls Behind

You might have heard that some drugs can be really dangerous, and a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirms it. Fentanyl, a super strong painkiller that can be used illegally, has caused a lot of deaths recently. The rate of people who died from a fentanyl overdose went up 279% from 2016 to 2021. That's a big increase! Meanwhile, the number of people who died from heroin, a drug that was causing a lot of problems before, went down. The report also found that men were more likely to die from an overdose than women, and that people between the ages of 25 and 44 were most at risk.

But don't worry, it's not all bad news. The CDC said that there are some things that can help prevent deaths from drug overdoses, like naloxone, a medicine that can reverse the effects of an overdose. And more people are getting help for drug addiction, which is a good thing. Remember, it's important to always talk to a trusted adult if you're feeling tempted to use drugs or if you know someone who needs help.
