☆ Flavored e-cigarette sales are booming despite federal crackdown
  + stars: | 2023-06-22 | by ( Stefan Sykes | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Flavored e-cigarettes represented 41.3% of U.S. retail-store e-cigarette unit sales in December 2022, up from 29.2% in January 2020, the organizations found. Overall e-cigarette sales in the U.S. rose about 47% in the period. The spike in sales comes despite a federal crackdown that placed more restrictions on the flavors and marketing for tobacco products. From January 2022 to December 2022, disposable e-cigarette unit share increased from 24.7% to 51.8% of total unit sales. Last year, the FDA ordered Elf Bar and Breeze Smoke off the U.S. market, according to the CDC report.

A New York City teacher quit her job in March after 12 years at the school. She teaches music and describes the shift to remote learning at the beginning of the pandemic as one that triggered a professional change, too. Parkis is one of many Americans who prefer remote working, even as companies have attempted to entice — and in some cases, strong-arm — employees back to the office. She was teaching full time at a Brooklyn, New York, middle school for 12 years and said her school ended remote learning last year. When she did, she quit right away and began her post at a fully online public school.

Until that or any other repurposing decision comes down, the FEC continues to spend taxpayer resources keeping the Presidential Election Campaign Fund alive.
