In the U.S. market, illegally flavored products account for about 70% of the overall aerosol electronic cigarette market size. Some states in the USA have started taking action to restrict certain illegal products, with Louisiana experiencing a 28% growth in the legal vapor market after strengthening regulations, while channels for illegal disposable products decreased by 91%.
