New York, June 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For years, worldwide, independent research has concluded that adult use of e-cigarettes is far less harmful than smoking combustible cigarettes. As use and death rates from smoking idle at a precariously high level across the globe, smokers are desperate for more safe options to kick the habit. The Foundation for a Smoke-Free World fully appreciates the FDA’s prior authorization of 23 electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) products for adult smokers as appropriate for the protection of the public health. We will continue to work with all stakeholders to achieve the Foundation’s goal of ending smoking in this generation.
