Abstract
Many years ago, then‐Surgeon General Everett Koop warned that nicotine is more addictive than heroin. That fateful day, in 1988, marked the beginning of what appeared to be a successful industry aimed at treating nicotine addiction. There were gums, patches, and more to help people stop smoking, which cost them a lot of money and possible future lung and other cancers. Now, we have vaping, including of nicotine, which at least is not combustible and, it is hoped, avoids the cancer problems. But it is still addictive. Ask any teenager, and you will learn that it's common in high school and college. Nicotine withdrawal is unpleasant. But there are still U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved products to help. These are not vaping devices. With the FDA's current move to restrict the nicotine content of cigarettes, it's likely that there will be more demand for these products.
