One town's flavor ban seemed to work to cut youth tobacco use - Prevention Partners of Northern Middlesex

(CNN)Limiting kids’ access to flavored tobacco products like e-cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and cigars seems to work, according to a new study that looks at two towns that took different approaches to vaping in Massachusetts. That will come as good news to the governments that are adding more restrictions on flavors.

The number of kids who used flavored tobacco has increased significantly nationwide and studies find that kids who use flavors may be more likely to develop a regular tobacco habit.
