“E-cigarette sales have skyrocketed in recent years, with an explosion of new products—many of which attract youth with appealing flavors and put a new generation at risk for nicotine addiction with increasingly high levels of nicotine. Today’s e-cigarettes are available in a vast array of enticing flavors and feature sleek, colorful designs. They’re also bigger, stronger and cheaper than previous devices, which only heightens their appeal. Even more concerning, over 80% of e-cigarettes are on the market illegally. While enforcement is vital to ending the youth e-cigarette crisis, retailers also must do the right thing, take responsibility to protect their young customers, and remove all illegal products from store shelves.” – CEO and President Kathy Crosby
