Kakade i-FDA ibinokungabaza mayelana nezimangalo ezenziwe yile mikhiqizo. Abantu abaningi bavapa amavithamini neminye imikhiqizo engeyona eye-nicotine ngoba bakholelwa ukuthi bazothola amavithamini amandla umfutho kanye nezinye izinzuzo eziningi ezifana nokugxila okwengeziwe, ukulala okungcono kanye nokuzivikela okuthuthukisiwe.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, u-17% wabantu baseMelika uzame ama-vape angewona awe-nicotine ngenyanga edlule kanti u-12% usebenzise umkhiqizo ngesonto eledlule.
UDokotela uHorge Mercedo Uchwepheshe wezokwelapha zamaphaphu esibhedlela se-NYU Langone ubika ukuthi iziguli eziningi bezilokhu zibuza ngokuphepha nezinzuzo zokusebenzisa ama-vapes ezempilo. Uthi ubehlale ezicela iziguli zakhe ukuthi ziqhelelane nale mikhiqizo. NgoDisemba 2021 i-FDA yakhipha i- inothi lokuxwayisa ngokumelene nezimangalo zezempilo ezenziwe imikhiqizo ye-vaping Wellness. I-FDA ithi iningi lale mikhiqizo ayihlanzekile njengoba bethi injalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ayikho indlela yokwazi ukuthi yini ekuleyo mikhiqizo.
