“…In addition, our several recent studies found a significant association of e-cigarette use with self-reported wheezing and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as well as self-reported difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions in both youth and adults [ 8 - 12 ]. Several studies showed evidence of the effectiveness of e-cigarettes in smoking cessation and reduction with no harm in users up to 2 years, which could potentially benefit current cigarette smokers [ 13 - 17 ]. However, e-cigarettes have no health benefits for youth and adults who have never used any tobacco products before [ 3 , 11 , 18 - 29 ].…”

Background On January 2, 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) flavor enforcement policy to prohibit the sale of all flavored cartridge–based e-cigarettes, except for menthol and tobacco flavors. Objective This research aimed to examine the public perception of this FDA flavor enforcement policy and its impact on the public perception of e-cigarettes on Twitter. Methods A total of 2,341,660 e-cigarette–related tweets and 190,490 FDA flavor enforcement policy–related tweets in the United States were collected from Twitter before (between June 13 and August 22, 2019) and after (between January 2 and March 30, 2020) the announcement of the FDA flavor enforcement policy. Sentiment analysis was conducted to detect the changes in the public perceptions of the policy and e-cigarettes on Twitter. Topic modeling was used for finding frequently discussed topics about e-cigarettes. Results The proportion of negative sentiment tweets about e-cigarettes significantly increased after the announcement of the FDA flavor enforcement policy compared with before the announcement of the policy. In contrast, the overall sentiment toward the FDA flavor enforcement policy became less negative. The FDA flavor enforcement policy was the most popular topic associated with e-cigarettes after the announcement of the FDA flavor enforcement policy. Twitter users who discussed about e-cigarettes started to talk about other alternative ways of getting e-cigarettes after the FDA flavor enforcement policy. Conclusions Twitter users’ perceptions of e-cigarettes became more negative after the announcement of the FDA flavor enforcement policy.
