E-cigs come in a variety of flavors, including candy and dessert-flavored. Part of the reason for the boom in popularity of the e-cigarette in comparison to its counterpart, tobacco, among youth, is attributable to the many flavors that e-cigs have available. These flavors, such as "fruity," not only can be very appealing but also play a role in misleading teenagers to believe that e-cigs are less dangerous than similar products. Sweet flavors of e-cigs mimic the youth's favorite foods and play to their palate, which increases their appeal. Some teens report that they use it because "it tastes good." Of course, the role of flavors also changes adult usage. Adults tend to prefer flavors such as mint, coffee, and spice. Additionally, electronic cigarettes are often used by adults to help their smoking addiction. The popularity of this remedy to combustible cigarettes is also impacted by the flavors available. Many tobacco smokers hoping to quit start off with tobacco-flavored e-cigs and then transition to the more interesting flavors, which helps them quit their tobacco addiction. Again, the flavors of e-cigs is the major selling point.
