美国（US）美国食品和药物管理局对调味电子烟表示担忧（例如，JUUL品牌），因为他们是吸引年轻人谁可能不知道该产品是上瘾。烟草与健康研究第三波人口评估提供了美国过去30天的青年和成年电子烟使用者的口味类别、电子烟产品类型和吸烟状况的数据。大多数过去30天的青少年和成人用户报告只使用一种口味类别，水果（53%的青少年，31%的成人）是最常见的报告类别。与任何其他单独的香料类别或香料类别组合相比，成年人更有可能报告单独使用烟草香料（OR：21.08，95%CI：5.92，75.12）。然而，年轻人更有可能报告使用多种口味类别（OR：2.03，95%CI：1.55，2.65），报告最多的配对是水果和糖果（36%）。市场上的各种口味吸引了各个年龄段的消费者。尽管大多数过去30天的电子烟使用者只报告了一种口味，但非烟草口味在年轻人中更为常见。成年人与青少年vapers之间口味偏好的差异可能会影响口味在青少年vaping和成人vaping戒烟中的作用。
The United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration has expressed concern about flavored e-cigarettes (e.g., JUUL brand) because they are appealing to youth who may be unaware that the product is addictive. The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study Wave 3 provided data on flavor categories, type of e-cigarette product, and smoking status among past 30-day youth and adult e-cigarette users in the US. Most past 30-day youth and adult users reported using only one flavor category, with fruit (53% youth, 31% adult) being the most commonly reported category. Adults were far more likely to report using tobacco flavor alone, compared to any other individual flavor category or flavor category combinations (OR: 21.08, 95%CI: 5.92, 75.12). Whereas, youth were more likely to report using multiple flavor categories (OR: 2.03, 95%CI: 1.55, 2.65), with the most reported pairing being fruit and candy (36%). The variety of flavors on the market appeals to consumers of all ages. Although most past 30-day e-cigarette users reported only one flavor category, non-tobacco flavors were far more common among youth. Differences in flavor preferences among adult versus youth vapers may have implications for the role of flavors in both the initiation of youth vaping and adult vaping for smoking cessation.
