U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said e-cigarettes don’t help smokers quit the habit. According to UPI, Adams said e-cigarettes may get non-smokers to start using. The Food and Drug Administration announced a ban on flavored e-cigarette products in January. Yet they exempted menthol and tobacco-flavored pods to the overall ban. The surgeon general said one in four tobacco users said they started with e-cigarettes.
