Demonstrates similarities in flavoring additives across tobacco products, suggesting tailored regulatory approaches may be needed.
It is known that flavors such as fruit, vanilla, and mint/menthol are common across various tobacco and nicotine products. This study demonstrates that sweet-fruity, creamy-vanilla, and mint/menthol flavors can consist of similar flavoring additives across different tobacco and nicotine products. Additionally, we identified a great variety of flavoring profiles that appear to be product-specific. These insights may be useful for policymakers considering how flavors are formulated across different tobacco and nicotine products, particularly when evaluating whether certain regulatory approaches could apply broadly or require product-specific tailoring.
