(JANUARY 5, 2024) Pediatric pulmonologist L. E. Faricy, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics, urged Vermont State legislators to support a bill to end the sale of all flavored tobacco products in Vermont when they convene next month, according to VT Digger.

Faricy is a practicing pediatrician at the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital who specializes in caring for children with lung and breathing problems.

“In our clinics, young people tell us they start using e-cigarettes in part because the flavors are appealing, and the flavors make the product seem benign. Soon after trying Bubblegum or Wild Cherry flavored e-cigarettes, they find themselves addicted to nicotine and can’t stop using these products despite how much they want to quit,” Faricy said. “Pediatricians across Vermont support ending the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including mint and menthol flavoring.”
