E-Cigarettes Are Using Time (Dis)Honored Marketing Tactics

The Campaign For Tobacco Free Kids posted this
Washington Post article on FB that first appeared
August 3, 2013. Thank you for bringing this to our 
attention. This was the anniversary of my sister 
Chambier's passing in 2007 from lung cancer. She 
would want us challenging these nicotine based 
products, since Big Tobacco back at it, pushing 
to get new generations hooked again in America. 
The E Cigarette may be today's candy cigarettes 
and bubble gum cigars. These sweets were our 
"gateway drugs". As long as e-cig marketing is way 
out ahead of the science in addressing long term
use and potential addiction, I remain skeptical... 
coming soon...Profiles of e-smokers...(vapers)
vape...really?
