Vape Package Warnings Can Deter Use, But Current Rules Are Lacking
- Researchers led by Youjin Jang at UNC Chapel Hill released a study on June 2, 2025, about vape package warnings and their effects.
- The study reviewed 24 prior studies with over 22,500 participants, analyzing how current FDA label requirements evolved and their shortcomings.
- Findings show text-only health warnings reduce vaping more effectively than addiction warnings, though warnings can be missed if packaging is discarded or shared devices used.
- The FDA requires only one label stating "WARNING: Nicotine is an addictive chemical," but experts suggest rotating messages covering health risks would improve understanding and deterrence.
- The research implies enhancing warnings could discourage vaping initiation but may not deter smokers from switching; ongoing studies explore direct vape device labels to improve warning visibility.
