目的：我们的目标是确定如果没有特有的味道，年轻人电子烟和烟草使用的流行率是否有可能降低。方法：两项平行的横断面调查，对象是德克萨斯州(休斯顿，达拉斯/福特郡)的2483名年轻人(TATAMS：德克萨斯州青少年烟草和营销监督系统)和4326名年轻人(M-PACT：德克萨斯州各大学的营销和促销活动)。沃斯，圣安东尼奥，奥斯汀)。目前电子烟和其他烟草(香烟、雪茄制品、水烟、无烟烟草)的使用情况。用户被问到：“当你使用[PRODUCT]时，你通常使用以下哪种口味？”结果：超过80%的年轻人和年轻的成年烟草使用者报告说他们使用了加香烟草。四分之三的调味产品用户表示，如果产品没有调味，他们将不再使用该产品。电子烟和水烟的这一比例最高，香烟的这一比例最低。结论：限制烟草产品中的香料不会在年轻人中根除电子烟或其他烟草的使用，但如果香料被移除，年轻人电子烟和其他烟草使用的流行率似乎很有可能大幅下降。
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the potential for reductions in the prevalence of young people's e-cigarette and tobacco use if characterizing flavors were not present.METHODS: Two parallel cross-sectional surveys of 2483 youth (TATAMS: Texas Adolescent Tobacco and Marketing Surveillance System) and 4326 young adults (M-PACT: Marketing and Promotions across Colleges in Texas) in Texas (Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio, Austin). Current use of e-cigarettes and other tobacco (cigarettes, cigar products, hookah, smokeless tobacco). Users were asked: "When you use [product], do you usually use any of the following flavors?" Flavored product users were asked: "Would you continue using [product] if it were not flavored?"RESULTS: Over 80% of youth and young adult tobacco users reported using flavored tobacco. Three-fourths of flavored product users said they would no longer use the product if it was not flavored. This was highest for e-cigarettes and hookah and lowest for cigarettes. Few demographic differences in findings were observed.CONCLUSIONS: Restricting flavors in tobacco products would not eradicate e-cigarette or other tobacco use among young people, but the potential for substantial reductions in the prevalence of young people's e-cigarette and other tobacco use seems high if flavors were removed.
