Sales Clerk: Elders Come to Buy E-cigarettes. They Used to had No Choice. Now it’s Different

According to a Yale University study, higher e-cigarette taxes may encourage e-cigarette users to use more lethal products.

On September 2, according to foreign reports, a recent study by the Yale School of public health shows that higher taxes on e-cigarettes may encourage young e-cigarette users to switch to traditional cigarettes.

Connecticut imposes a $4.35 tax on a pack of cigarettes – the highest in the country – and a 10% wholesale tax on open e-cigarettes.

Michael pesco, a health economist at George State University, CO authored the study with Abigail Friedman of Yale University.

He said: we hope to reduce the tax on e-cigarettes and discourage people from using the more deadly product – cigarettes, so as to reduce their risk.

He spoke on Connecticut public radio on Wednesday.

But mental health experts warn that it is important to understand and solve the factors that cause young people to smoke e-cigarettes.

“The emotional pain young people are experiencing is shocking.” Said Dr javeed sukhera, head of the Department of psychiatry at Hartford Hospital. “The reality that they are experiencing, the reality that this country is experiencing, and the social and political reality are really difficult for young people. Therefore, it is not surprising that under that painful, painful and painful background, they are turning to material things.”

Earlier this year, the Connecticut chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics testified in support of banning flavored e-cigarette products. APA pointed out that the data showed that 70% of young e-cigarette users took taste as their reason for using e-cigarettes. (the bill failed to pass in Connecticut for the third consecutive year.) According to children without tobacco, in Connecticut, 27% of high school students use e-cigarettes.

But it is not just young people who accept e-cigarettes.

Gihan samaranayaka, who works in an electronic cigarette shop in Hartford, said: the elderly are here now because they have smoked cigarettes for a long time. In the past, they had no choice. So more and more people come to buy ZERO NICOTINE juice, and they buy e-cigarettes.
