FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD, said:Electronic cigarettes/VAPE"We appreciate the National Academy's review of various public health issues related to e-cigarettes," he said. "This comprehensive report not only adds new knowledge to our He raised several questions about the effects of vaping, especiallyElectronic cigarettes/VAPEchildren who have experienced obesity are more likely to become smokers.The other is whether smokers will see short-term health improvements when they switch completely to e-cigarettes or vaping," says Professor Scott Gottlieb.

"Finally, as this report develops directions to protect children and significantly reduce tobacco-related deaths and illnesses, the public health impact of e-cigarettes and vaping will continue to grow." It helps us identify areas where further research is needed to better understand the "We need to fully assess the risks of this and pass an appropriate set of regulations."

Today, science from the National Academy of Sciences (NASEM), commissioned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by congressional mandate, into the short- and long-term health effects associated with nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), including e-cigarettes and vapes published an independent report evaluating the available evidence.This will help identify future federally funded research needs.

A NASEM report provides evidence that a complete switch from cigarettes to e-cigarettes and vaping reduces second-hand smoke, which contains multiple toxic and carcinogenic substances, from cigarette smokers and reduces short-term health hazards. It turns out that there isHowever, the report also states that young people who use e-cigarettes/vapes may also smoke cigarettes.This report provides short- and long-term health effects andElectronic cigarettes/VAPERegarding the public health impact of cigarette smoking, whether it is linked to cigarette smoking among young people, whether adult use is simply to use both e-cigarettes/vapes and cigarettes, and whether tobacco smokersno smokingMore research is needed, such as whether it will be accelerated.

According to NASEM's report, ENDS (mechanism of nicotine intake by e-cigarettes, vapes, etc.) and the wide variety of e-cigarettes and vaping products have impacts and risks on public health, battery problems of e-cigarettes and vapes, and children's health problems. There are safety concerns, such as accidental exposure to liquid nicotine, and the FDA has announced its intention to address this issue through product specifications and other regulations.

Regarding the effects of ENDS, the FDA will use the data identified in the NASEM report to assess whether certain tobacco products are less harmful than they actually are and are potential tools to help smokers quit. We will continue to invest in research in many areas.- Specifically, who is using these products and how are they being used?
By suggesting that this study minimizes nicotine levels in cigarettes, the addictive nicotine in cigarettes can be systematically reduced, and smokers can avoid harming ENDS, e-cigarettes, and VAPE. We encourage this research to help us transition fully to viable products.

As an aside, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb gave an interview to CNBC, America's largest news network.In the interview, Gottlieb added that he favored vaping, arguing that safer nicotine alternatives such as vaping should be considered.
