Times of India: E cigarettes the next big smoking poison

The planet is catching on to 
the problems of e cigarettes, 
which are numerous as they 
emerge like a hydra's heads. 
Today, the Times of India published 
the article accessible in the link below...

A list of issues (the author's)

1. untested chemicals, rising 
claims of potential toxicity.

2. most still contains nicotine, 
the world's most addictive drug.

3. unregulated product in both 
compounds consumed and the 
consistency and safety of 
paraphernalia.

4. mimics actual smoking too 
closely, keeping the habit 
directly in place.

5. marketing is aimed at most 
impressionable demographic-
youth, and the rebellious, using 
candy like flavors and encouraging 
users to "proclaim your independence."

6. marketing is based on 50's-60's 
tobacco print and television ads,
revitalizing the legacy of untruth 
in advertising...and the products 
are being promoted on tv.

7. Vaping: Worst name for a verb 
denoting an action of the last one 
hundred years of English language.
