The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced sweeping new restrictions on flavoured tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes popular among teenagers in an effort to prevent a new generation of nicotine addicts.


Data released Thursday by the FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed a 78 per cent increase in high school students who reported using e-cigarettes in the last 30 days, compared with the prior year.

More than 3 million high school students, or more than 20 per cent of all U.S. high school students, used the products, along with 570,000 middle school students, according to the survey.
