家長們的擔心似乎總是永遠不嫌多,煙草業還要針對我們的孩子,推出帶有吸引人醒目包裝的有害電子煙產品,這些產品偽裝成日常物品,並能釋出高濃度的尼古丁,讓人容易吸入,並能被身體更加快速吸收。12即便FDA(美國食品和藥物管理局)由於高中生的電子煙使用率在2017年至2018年間激增78%,因而於2018年宣布「青少年電子煙使用流行病」後,煙草業仍繼續營銷和推廣電子煙為「更安全」的煙草產品,並銷售如芒果、草莓或薄荷清爽口味的各種口味煙草產品來吸引年輕人。3

雖然整體的高中生電子煙使用率在隨後幾年有所下降,但下一代年輕人正在逐漸上癮。截至2023年,已有超過55萬名中學生在使用電子煙,並有超過20%的學生表示經常使用。4 在加州,電子煙是中學生最常使用的煙草產品,超過91%的目前使用電子煙的學生表示他們使用的是口味電子煙。5

發展中大腦的毒藥

尼古丁是一種會讓人上癮的大腦毒藥,並會加重年輕人的焦慮、抑鬱、情緒起伏和暴躁易怒。678 使用含有尼古丁的電子煙會對青少年的學習能力和注意力產生負面影響。8 煙草業設計電子煙時,通過精心設計加入尼古丁鹽來增加尼古丁的成癮性,使具有更高濃度的尼古丁更容易吸入並能更快速地被身體吸收。91011 電子煙中添加的口味,如芒果、草莓,掩蓋了煙草的苦味和尼古丁的存在,使得年輕用戶更容易開始吸食,並不斷增加用量,對大腦和身體造成嚴重傷害。85

加州已終止販售口味煙草

在2022年,加州人以壓倒性的票數支持一項法律,終止在零售商店販售大多數的口味煙草產品,其中包括電子煙,這使得煙草商更加難以針對並吸引年輕人來使用其致命產品。13 雖然自2023年以來,口味電子煙產品的銷售量已下降了71%,但在加州仍可從網上購買到。14點擊此處了解更多有關該法律的就更多信息。
