Nobody seems to be writing about the public health pandemic as it relates to tobacco or alcohol, even though there have been upticks in both over the past 2 years. Particularly disturbing is the tobacco industry’s new (old) tactics to entice young people to use nicotine as a drug. One of the most addictive substances (based on the use of flavors and salt preparations), it now goes down into the lungs deeper and faster. This is a particularly dangerous combinations for young brains (under 25 years old) and new initiates to the practice. African Americans have been unfairly targeted for initiation for many years; they bare the brunt of the “success of menthol cigarettes” as death sticks. 85% of African Americans prefer Menthol, where as 30% of Caucasian smokers prefer Menthol. It is not an accident that cigarettes cause 47,000 preventable African American deaths a year from combustible tobacco. The next big challenge for the FDA and all of us who care about public health (and health disparities) will be the sale of synthetic nicotine–a form that is not regulated the way that tobacco is.
