I think e-cigs should be regulated by the FDA in the same way that regular cigarettes are. According to a new federal report in the short article, 1.78 million children and teens have tried the battery-powered devices. Studies show that children and teens that use this technology will most likely to use regular cigarettes. This seems to be the gateway to starting a bad habit. If the FDA knows this, then why aren’t they being regulated? It’s almost like the FDA and the tobacco companies are working together to turn a profit.
Most of these e-cigs are being advertised to teens along with other tobacco products. This ensures a long lasting profit between the teens and the adult population. In the minds of business CEO’s and the marketing managers;

Jennifer jean a Registered nurse that has experienced the effects of traditional cigarettes especially on some of her older patients, believes that the electronic cigarettes will eventually end up being like the traditional cigarettes. The traditional cigarettes were once believed to be one hundred percent safe until they did research and investigation and then and all the different health issues began to arise in the smokers.There will soon be ads against the use of the electronic cigarettes just they what they currently have to haalt traditional cigarette smoking.
The e-cigarette format, however, does not eliminate concerns regarding public and individual health risks. The World Health Organization has called for e-cigarette usage to be monitored in the same way as more conventional tobacco products,(23) the US FDA is advocating for more research,(24) and there has been a dramatic increase in analyses of the chemical, physiological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects of e-cigarettes.(2-7,9-12,14-21,24-52)
Teens are smoking e-cigs and something needs to be done. One “pod” promises the amount of nicotine equal to an entire pack of conventional cigarettes. E-cigs are easy to hide and come in a variety of flavors. The Food and Drug Administration decided to hold off on implementing an already finalized rule that would regulate e-cigarettes. Postponing a regulation on e-cigs is a mistake.
The food and drug administration has control over e-cigarettes since 2011 and they haven’t been regulating e-cigarettes yet. They have only issued a letter “to electronic cigarette distributors warning them to see's making various unsubstantiated
Electronic cigarettes, also known as "e-cigarettes", could potentially be heading for regulation after renewed debate about its use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“In 2009, 8.2% of middle school students and 23.9% of high school students reported current use of any tobacco product, and 5.2% of middle school students and 17.2% of high school students reported current use of cigarettes” (CDC, Tobacco Use, Para. 5). Tobacco products are always going to be accessible to the kids of the nation. But e-cigs are still only for men and women above the age of 18, and I.D. is required to purchase anything related to the products. I questioned 50 people who use e-cigs or e-cig products if they ever felt the desire to smoke a regular cigarette since they began using a vape. Out of 50, 36 said that they have never felt the desire to smoke a cigarette, and they didn’t get any nicotine in the juice they used. 10 of the 50 stated that they would rather use their vape, but sometimes they crave a cigarette. The other 4 said that they would rather have a cigarette but are quitting. Some even stated that they use their vape as an excuse to not smoke. They don’t feel as pressured to smoke whenever they are able to use the e-cigs around smokers. Most people who have smoked their entire lives and decided to quit and start vaping usually start out at a high level of nicotine then slowly work their way down to lower levels. “We followed 477 users of electronic cigarettes during one month and 367 users over one year. 22% had stopped smoking after one month and 46% after one year.
Should e-cigarettes be regulated in the same way as traditional tobacco and conventional combustion cigarettes? E-cigs were patented in 1963, introduced to the U.S. market in 2007, and have yet to be regulated by the FDA although they received the authority to regulate e-smokers in 2011. Sometime in the next few months, the FDA is expected to issue the so-called deeming regulations, which will open the door to the federal regulation of e-cigarettes. In considering whether to issue the regulations, which were first
I feel like e-cigs should be regulated. What if something happens like another young child dying? Or more kids get poisoned by e-cigs? E-cigs should get a regulation so that young people won’t get ahold of it. We should ban young people from buying and getting ahold of e-cigs so
For as long as e-cigarettes have been around the market of cigarettes alike, the controversy of whether or not e-cigs should be regulated from advertisement has been alive almost as much as the light of electric cigarettes themselves. To add on to this debate myself, e-cigarettes are bad for the public and should therefore not be advertised on television, radio, or other forms of media devices. These advertisements can influence minors to try e-cigs, influence use of nicotine, and defies the purpose of regulations on cigarettes in general. E-cigarettes are bad for the health of an average human being, and with the advertisement of e-cigs, it influences the people to inject themselves with the many poisonous, harming chemicals in e-cigarettes
The 460 brands of e-cigarettes come in over 7,000 flavors. Critics say it is an attempt to get children to start smoking. The children of today will be the creators of the future. Unfortunately, studies prove that cigarettes, as well as e-cigarettes, shorten lives. Who would be in charge of our economy if children decided to start smoking now and risk their lives? Basically, if every child decided to smoke e-cigarettes there may not be a future. Due to the fact that e-cigarettes do not have restrictions on their sales, children and adolescents are allowed to purchase these devices without a drivers license or state ID.
Electronic cigarettes have became extremely popular almost overnight it seems. These devices have worked their way into people’s everyday lives and are continuing to get even more popular. E-cigs are so popular because they do not have near as many chemicals as cigarettes, one can pick the flavor of their liking, and the smoke does not stink as traditional tobacco cigarette smoke does. In most places e-cigarette shops have been opened and are now selling regulated devices. In a battle between cigarettes and e-cigs, e-cigs are winning in sales and in popularity. Smoking is a dangerous habit causing countless problems in society; however, to curb this trend, smokers may resort to electronic cigarettes, as they help people stop smoking tobacco, promote better health, and satisfy their nicotine addictions.
Imagine if there were an alternative to smoking cigarettes. Imagine this alternative could help millions of people quit smoking and comes with only a fraction of the harmful chemicals that cigarettes do. The electronic cigarette or e-cigarette was created in 2003 by a Chinese pharmacist. It works by heating a liquid until it turns into vapor which is then inhaled. Since its creation, it use has grown exponentially worldwide. Its use in the US, however, was not regulated by the FDA until August 2016. This regulation deemed e-cigarette devices to be tobacco products, which means it must comply with all the rules that tobacco products do such as, marketing, labeling and companies must register and comply with FDA regulation. This makes the production
Ever since this new, exquisite device, called E-Cigarettes, made and was bought from stores, it has become really addicting around the United States, especially children and teens. Because of its new abilities, people, mostly teens, thinks that it’s a lot safer to use. But it’s not.
