“Officials had already taken steps to curtail vaping in New Jersey, passing a law banning the sale of flavored vaping products. Some lawmakers said they hoped the rule would keep vapes out of the hands of children (those under 21 were ineligible to purchase the products already). Vaping advocates say the approach had the opposite of its intended effect. Shop owners said a ban would turn people to unregulated products that might prove more harmful. The Yale study backs them up. The authors argue that well-developed and regulated markets likely drove out the riskier products, and that legislation banning such items could subject vapers to more risks.” “I was sort of wanting to promote non-smoking and the health benefits of quitting smoking,” Adam Mitrani said. “The government has forced me to sell smoking products.”
