Vaping Poll

Vapes – also known as e-cigarettes – have increased in popularity over the past few years.

But as their use rises, some health experts are concerned about the unknown effects long-term use could have, and especially the dangers they may pose to children and young people.

With more than 1,000 lung injuries and two dozen deaths nationally associated with vaping and e-cigarettes, a new KFF poll finds a narrow majority (52%) of the public supports a ban on the sale of fruit- and other flavored e-cigarettes, while 44% oppose it.

When asked whether all e-cigarettes should be banned, including those that aren’t flavored, the public is almost evenly divided, with 49% favoring such a step and 47% opposing it. Majorities of younger adults (ages 18-29) oppose both a ban on flavored e-cigarettes (63%) and a ban on all e-cigarettes (62%).
