Why Did the FDA Approve Flavored Vapes? with Dr. Jamie Rutland

While flavored vapes can help adults quit smoking, they can also draw in young users. Pulmonologist, critical care doctor, and internal medicine physician Dr. Cedric “Jamie” Rutland joins Chelsea to weigh in on the FDA’s controversial decision to authorize certain fruit-flavored e-cigarettes for adults. They clear up confusion about the risks of vaping versus smoking, discuss what we know (and don’t know) about the chemicals inside flavorings, and forecast how approvals like these could impact teens and young adults. Plus, why Jamie drew a crowd at Coachella.
