December 15 Webinar: Creative Chemistry: Addressing Industry Evasion and Synthetic Nicotine.
Recently, PuffBar e-cigarettes and similar products have emerged on the market claiming to contain synthetic nicotine – nicotine that is not derived from tobacco, but instead produced in a laboratory. Driving these products are the reduced costs of producing synthetic nicotine and federal policies that incentivize the use of synthetic nicotine, such as the FDA’s temporary restriction on the sale of certain flavored cartridge-based products. As synthetic nicotine products grow in popularity and market share, public health advocates and policymakers will want to use a comprehensive regulatory approach and research evidence gaps about these addictive products. This 90-minute webinar will cover the availability of these products, what researchers know about the differences between synthetic and tobacco-derived nicotine, consumer perceptions of these products, an overview of the regulatory landscape, and legal solutions. Presenters: Dr. David Ashley, Georgia State University; Micah Berman, The Ohio State University, Dr. Brittney Keller-Hamilton, The Ohio State University; Dr. Andrew Seidenberg, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health; Patti Zettler, The Ohio State University
