And of course, we'll allow flavors in those, because they're not intended for children.
But we WILL allow them to be sold out in the open, and to children...
Smoking Cessation Treatment for Adolescents
From the Study you posted...
"NRTs such as nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges are available over the counter (OTC) in the United States. Sale of these OTC products is restricted to persons at least 18 years of age. The packages for Nicorette gum (GlaxoSmith-Kline, Raleigh, NC), Commit lozenges (Glaxo-SmithKline, Raleigh, NC), and NicoDerm CQ (GlaxoSmithKline, Raleigh, NC) specifically state, “Not for sale to those under age 18 years of age. If you are under 18, ask a doctor before use.”35 Therefore, while the OTC purchase of NRT is not permitted by adolescents, adolescents may obtain the products under the supervision of a physician via a prescription. Other forms of NRT such as the nicotine inhaler (Nicotrol Inhaler, Pfizer, New York, NY) and nicotine nasal spray (Nicotrol NS, Pfizer, New York, NY) are only available with a prescription. Labeling for the nicotine nasal spray does not recommend use in patients younger than 18 years because it has not been evaluated for this population.36 However, inherent in the Nicotrol Inhaler labeling is the recognition that while none of the NRT products have been evaluated for those younger than 18 years, there does not seem to be medical risk for nicotine-dependent adolescents who use them. The labeling states that if potential benefit outweighs risk, the inhaler may be used in older adolescents for tobacco dependence.37"
