Youth Vaping Epidemic And The Proposed Flavor Ban
Dear Black Note Community, We agree with the need for a category-wide action on e-juice flavors that Sound Just Like Kids’ Favorite Treats ONLY. Such flavors have fueled the youth e-cigarette epidemic. When it comes to tobacco products, particularly e-cigarettes, certain flavors attract kids and puts them at risk of a lifetime of nicotine dependence. We aren’t against companies offering straight forward flavors designed for adults as long as they adhere to strict guidelines to ensure that their marketing and commercial communications are directed toward adult smokers
Letter From CEO
Dear Black Note Community, We think the FDA has been spying on us. That’s because regulatory changes currently being discussed in the industry just so happen to match the same standards Black Note has been upholding since our inception. These standards include lots of little things that fit into Black Note’s bigger picture of only appealing to adult former smokers and no one else. The vaping crowd is a huge one, but not all people who vape do so for the same reasons. Black Note was
Study: E-Cigarettes vs. Cigarettes vs. Heat Not Burn
Vaping really revolutionized the way people use nicotine, but the changes are really only just beginning. Heat-not-burn devices, which use actual tobacco but just heat it rather than “smoking” it through combustion, offer a bit of a middle-ground between vaping and smoking. But with the middle-ground in function, you might assume a middle-ground in risk follows. But does it? Although we can’t be certain yet, a recent study from Dr. Farsalinos looks at exactly this issue: what exposes users to the most formaldehyde and
Cutting Down on Smoking: A Guide for New Vapers
Cutting down on smoking or quitting using e-cigarettes is why most vapers get started, but accomplishing it isn’t easy. Smoking is very addictive, and even though vaping offers you the nicotine you’re looking for, it is still a challenge for most vapers to successfully quit smoking. Vaping is a fantastic tool, but it isn’t a “magic bullet” solution to your smoking addiction. You’ll still need willpower, and you’ll still need to plan your approach carefully to give yourself the best chance of success, from
The Facts About Switching from Smoking to Vaping
Is vaping safer than smoking? This is the question everyone wants to know the answer to, and although the lack of long-term evidence makes it a little difficult to be absolutely certain, there is a lot of evidence building up to support the conclusions of Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians, who both looked at the evidence and said vaping is vastly safer than smoking. But what are the key facts about vaping vs. smoking? If you’re a smoker, will starting
Quitting Smoking, the Fun Way: Why Vaping is a Godsend for Smokers
Those opposed to vaping like to concoct doomsday scenarios. When you have limited evidence on which to base your pre-determined opposition to the technology, grasping at straws is part of the game. One of the key rallying calls of the opposition to vaping is that “there’s no evidence they’re effective for quitting!” This is a pretty insidious strategy, because – even though even most of those opposed to e-cigs will ultimately admit that vaping is much safer than smoking – it’s no good if vapers
