E-cigarettes and JUULs: Stopping a New Epidemic
2019 was a landmark year for tobacco legislation. States passed bills that increased the minimum sale age for tobacco products, regulated the sale of flavored tobacco products, and increased the price of tobacco products in statehouses across the country. This work was capped off with the federal government raising the age to buy tobacco products to 21 in December. ASTHO expects that states will continue to propose bills to prevent youth consumption of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, in 2020. Other likely tobacco proposals include: the implementation of sales restrictions on tobacco products with specific nicotine concentrations; prohibitions on the bulk sale of e-cigarette products; the regulation of online sale and purchase of tobacco products and e-cigarettes; and the incorporation of e-cigarettes in the definition of tobacco products.

Discuss the argument for and against this health policy.
