No policies either on the federal level or in Georgia limit nicotine levels, monitor ingredients used in e-cigarettes, or regulate advertising or packaging for vaping products.
E-cigarette companies have made their products available in candy flavors like vanilla, chocolate and gummy bear, and created packaging that resemble foods like juice boxes, candy and cookies, prompting warnings from the FDA. Critics argue that these designs are marketing to younger populations.
If current trends continue, the rates of e-cigarette smoking are likely to increase as students get older. There was a 65 percent increase in teens who had tried e-cigarettes from freshman to senior year.
