Gallup poll: Most Americans support restricting vapes, nicotine

A growing majority of Americans want restrictions on vapes and nicotine in cigarettes, according to a new Gallup poll.

Gallup reported Friday that 61% of all Americans — including majorities from all political affiliations, ages and genders — favor tighter laws and regulations on e-cigarettes.

That’s up from 54% in last year’s poll but close to the 64% who said so in 2019, with Gallup noting that this year’s poll followed the Food and Drug Administration’s June decision to ban the sale of a popular brand of e-cigarettes.

Another 30% of respondents this year want the laws “kept as they are now” and only 7% want them to be “less strict,” the company reported.
