Mint is the No. 1 choice for teens who vape nicotine, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We need to continue to understand what products kids are using," said Jessica Barrington-Trimis, the study's author and an assistant professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California.
The research comes during a time when the nation is grappling with a growing epidemic of severe lung illnesses linked to vaping. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 1,888 people have been sickened, many of whom had to be hospitalized in intensive care units. Thirty-seven people have died, including one teenager.
Vaping advocates say that e-cigarettes, especially those flavored with menthol, can help longtime cigarette smokers quit."There's not one study ever that has shown that using mint and menthol e-cigarettes is going to help you get off combustible cigarettes," said Phillip Gardiner, the policy and regulatory sciences program officer for the Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program at the University of California.
