"For adults, lozenges and patches are available over the counter, but not for those who are under 18," Koval said. Nicotine replacement therapy is a cornerstone for adults who want to quit smoking, but the gum and patches are not readily available to teenagers, she noted. "The evidence shows kids who would otherwise not have smoked who start vaping are four times as likely to go on and use combustible tobacco," Koval said. There's concern that kids hooked on vaping will eventually start smoking. Scott Gottlieb told CNN after the hearing.Į-cigarettes contain large amounts of nicotine, and it can be hard for kids to keep track of how much they've vaped, said Robin Koval, CEO and president of Truth Initiative. "A few years ago, it would've been incredible to me that we would be here today discussing the potential for drug therapy to help addicted young people quit," FDA commissioner Dr. Food and Drug Administration is concerned enough that it held a public hearing earlier this month asking for expert input on what strategies or treatments might best help teens quit vaping. The data is in, and it's showing that between 800,000 and 900,000 kids who use these e-cigarette products are using them regularly - 20 days out of a 30-day month," Henigan said. "We're beyond speculating that this could all be very experimental use by kids. Teenagers also are vaping regularly enough that hundreds of thousands are likely hooked on nicotine, said Dennis Henigan, vice president of legal and regulatory affairs at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. About 37 percent of 12th graders said they'd vaped within the past 12 months, compared to about 28 percent in 2017. Nearly two of every five high school seniors have tried e-cigarettes during the past year, according to a federal survey. "This was really going to go away, and now we have this whole generation of kids addicted to nicotine again and we just don't know what we're going to do about it." They just aren't interested in cigarette smoking," Richter said. "It's shocking to a lot of people in the field that we were so close to, if not eliminating, then really reducing cigarette smoking and tobacco use among young people. Teens addicted to vaping must rely on methods that have been shown to help tobacco quitters, but it's not clear that those methods will be useful when it comes to e-cigarettes. "There really isn't much out there that's been proven." "The science of vaping cessation hasn't caught up with the tremendous rise in use," Richter said. There are no tested or approved methods for quitting e-cigarettes, said Linda Richter, director of policy research and analysis at the Center on Addiction. Unfortunately, these kids are going to face a rocky road if they try to kick their nicotine habit, experts say. 31, 2019 (HealthDay News) - E-cigarette use is surging among American teenagers, with millions of kids flirting with nicotine addiction by regularly vaping.
