The more the price of e-cigarettes drops, the more sales increase… Logical you will tell me? Well not necessarily because this reasoning is not applicable for all economic sectors. Regardless, a new study has just revealed that sales of all types of e-cigarettes and e-liquids have increased across the United States (in all 50 states).
SALES THAT RISE IN ARROW AND PRICES FALLING!
According to a new study of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sales of e-cigarettes and vaping products have skyrocketed over the past five years as their prices have declined.
Between 2012 and 2016, we note that the price of e-cigarettes has dropped especially that of rechargeable models, at the same time sales have increased by 132%. In a report, federal health officials said federal taxes helped keep sales prices down.
« Overall, unit sales of e-cigarettes in the United States have increased with falling product prices“, Writes the team led by Teresa Wang CDC.
A PRICE DROP WHICH PROMOTES SALE TO YOUNG PEOPLE?
In the analysis presented the researchers state: “ Average monthly sales increased significantly for at least one of the four types of vaping products and those in 48 states as well as Washington, DC."
According to the CDC, in 2016, 766 pre-filled cartridges were sold on average per 100 people. Cartridges, also known as pods, were sold in 
average at 14,36 dollars per pack of five.
« We're finding that these rechargeable devices, including devices like Juul, are definitely the next trend when it comes to e-cigarettes in the US" , said Brain King, lead author of the study and Member of Parliament. director in the CDC's office on smoking and health.
As the prices have fallen in recent years, it is becoming easier for teens to get hold of vaping products. Research has shown that young people are more likely to use e-cigarettes than adults. Between 2011 and 2015, the consumption of e-cigarettes among high school students increased by 900%. The CDC study noted that vaping devices are now more popular among teens than traditional cigarettes.
The researchers said their findings may help inform federal and state policymakers, who are trying to determine the impact of e-cigarettes on health in order to determine how to regulate them. The study in question was published in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease.
