The problems surfacing
about E cigarettes- luring
teenagers into a tech-based
habit are ensuring that
young people who weren't
going to take up smoking
have taken up vaping
(because it's cool).
If ever there was a gateway
notion for cigarettes, clearly
e cigs are the candy smokes
that prepped earlier generations
to get hooked on nicotine.
Teens are openly targeted.
Ask Big Tobacco why it
bought up the major e-
manufacturers. Something
is seriously wrong here.
I questioned e cigs in the
book, Romancing The Smoke,
with the observation that they
kept the gestural habit of
smoking firmly in place.
E cigarettes will be the major
reason Millennials become
tobacco users and nicotine
addicts. This statement has
nothing to do with prophecy;
Anyone who doesn't have
smoke (or vapor) in their eyes
can see this is the inevitable
future.
Those with financial interests in
e cigs will tell us ANYTHING
to keep this trend skyrocketing
upward. There is NO TRUTH
to their advertising...
The only hope to curb this
trend are vigorous regulations,
restrictions and taxation that
treat this new nicotine habit
like all other nicotine habits.
Really...this is okay to sell
product? Really?
