According to French media reports, the e-cigarette industry has recently been exposed to a potentially risky market practice of circumventing the ban on smoke flavorings by selling so-called "flavor enhancers." The practice raises concerns about the respiratory health of users, who may be particularly attracted to young people.
According to Mathieu Morissette, a researcher at the Institute of Heart and Lung Disease at the University of Quebec, the sale of these flavor enhancers involves circumventing regulations. The e-cigarette industry has successfully circumvented regulations prohibiting the direct sale of flavored e-cigarette products by selling unflavored base liquids and providing additional flavor enhancers.
In an interview with host Paul Arcand, Morissette pointed out that behind this approach may be an attempt by the tobacco industry to attract new users.
Such circumventions in the e-cigarette industry may have a profound impact on social health, and it has already attracted widespread attention among young people.
