Everyone knows that the country began to ban fruit-flavored E-cigarettes, which began to be implemented in early October at the latest, and now major brands have begun to stop producing fruit-flavored E-cigarettes one after another, but this policy makes many consumers do not understand, because fruit flavors are indeed better than tobacco flavors.

Why is fruit flavored banned in e-cigarettes?

The main reason is that fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are more likely to attract minors, while fruit-flavored e-cigarettes contain 3%-5% C10H14N2, and teenagers' use of this fruit-flavored e-cigarette will cause them to gradually become addicted to C10H14N2 and affect their brain development.

A number of studies have proven that fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are more attractive to teenagers:

UK research shows that the popularity of fruit-flavored e-cigarettes among teenagers has increased substantially. According to the data, nearly 28% of high school students surveyed by the organization in 2022 reported that they had used e-cigarettes at least once in the past 30 days, higher than 21% in the previous year. According to the data survey, 82% of teenagers who smoke e-cigarettes try e-cigarettes because they like the strange taste. However, fruit-flavored e-cigarettes contain 3%-5% C10H14N2, and the use of such fruit-flavored e-cigarettes by teenagers will cause them to slowly become addicted to C10H14N2 and endanger their brain development.

Fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are more attractive to teenagers, making them very easy to inhale such e-cigarettes, and studies have shown that fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are likely to be harmful to the cardiovascular system.

A new study from the University of South Florida discusses the uncertainty hazards of inhaling the flavors and fragrances used in this e-liquid. The molecular structure of spices moved into the blood night and into the cardiovascular system, where they were found to have toxic side effects on HL-1 somatic cells, at least in mice.

U.S. research shows a significant increase in the popularity of fruit-flavored e-cigarettes among teenagers. Nearly 28% of high school students surveyed this year reported using e-cigarettes at least once in the past 30 days, up from 21% last year, the data showed. According to the survey, 82% of teenagers who smoke e-cigarettes try e-cigarettes because they like novel flavors.

How harmful are fruit-flavored e-cigarettes to the human body?

1. Attract minors

Fruit flavor is more likely to attract teenagers to smoke e-cigarettes because of its advantages such as multiple flavors, good taste, and no peculiar smell. Foreign studies have shown that fruit flavors are added with ingredients that produce a refreshing sensory experience, "Cooling sensation has been shown to reduce the irritation and irritation associated with C10H14N2, and flavors with cooling ingredients may make C10H14N2 easier to inhale and lead to more frequent C10H14N2 use in young people."

2. It may be harmful to the heart

Fruit flavors are generally flavored with added flavors, and there are many different types of flavors, including sweeteners designed for desserts, fruit blends, mints, and the like. A new study from the University of South Florida explores the potential effects of inhaling vaporized flavors used in these liquids. Flavor molecules enter the bloodstream and enter the heart, where they are found to be toxic to HL-1 cells, at least in mice.

Using heart cells extracted from human stem cells, the study also found evidence that these flavored e-liquids may have stronger cardiotoxic effects than C10H14N2 alone. Young mice were exposed to e-cigarettes for 5 days per week for 10 weeks, and normal heart rate variability was found to be disturbed.

Notably, mice that smoked e-cigarettes were more likely than control mice to develop ventricular tachycardia, which is an abnormal heartbeat that can be dangerous. However, the researchers noted that the study is preclinical and more research is needed to understand what kind of effects these fragrances may have on humans, especially in the long term.

3. It may harm lung cells

The American Thoracic Society released its latest research at its annual meeting on Monday showing that certain flavors of e-cigarettes alter lung cells. The researchers exposed human respiratory epithelial cells to 13 flavors of e-cigarettes. The exposure time was divided into two groups, which were 30 minutes and 24 hours. Five of the flavors of e-cigarettes are toxic to cells. Among them, hot cinnamon candies, banana pudding, and mint-flavored e-cigarettes were the most harmful to lung cells during the 30-minute test. It is worth noting that when the cells are continuously exposed for 24 hours, the harm to the cells of the same flavor of e-cigarette will increase.

To sum up, the main reason for banning fruit flavors is to protect minors, because fruit flavors are easier to attract minors, which is also proved by a lot of survey data, and secondly, fruit-flavored e-cigarettes also have certain harms, such as certain harm to the heart, of course, this research needs further discussion, just for reference.
