While the origin of the shortfall is contested , some blame rigid manufacturing quotas imposed by the Drug Enforcement Administration, which the agency hasn’t lifted despite increased diagnoses, insisting that the manufacturers have not used all of their existing allowances. The D.E.A. also has yet to provide a clear explanation of the shortage or to take emergency actions to help alleviate it.

Australia
Due to the increasing use of vapes, particularly among young Australians, my fellow researchers and I set out to determine how these products were being promoted and sold, as both Australian and international research indicated that online purchasing is popular. To find out what was happening in the online vaping retail environment, we identified and investigated 20 unique Australian and New Zealand retail websites. We then reviewed the product range, age verification processes, marketing strategies and claims on these sites.

The WHO awarded a prize to Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (known as AMLO) on May 31, the International No Smoking Day.
