Manufacturers and those supporting their use say they have the potential to save millions of lives around the world by not exposing smokers and those around them to the deadly chemicals produced by tobacco.
According to research, Electric cigarette use among middle school children has doubled in just one year. Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that e-cigarette use also doubled among high school students in one year, and that one in 10 high school students have used an e-cigarette. A combined 1.78 million middle and high school students nationwide use e-cigarettes. Experts made a conclusion that the aggressive marketing and promotion of e-cigarettes is reaching our children with alarming success.
However, there are a lot of controversies about electric cigarette since the appearance of it. It is said that it contains many unknown ingredients. According to recent estimates, there are 250 different e-cigarette brands for sale in the United States today. With that many brands, there is likely to be wide variation in the chemicals that each contain. In initial lab tests conducted by the FDA in 2009, detectable levels of toxic cancer-causing chemicals were found — including an ingredient used in antifreeze — in two leading brands of e-cigarettes and 18 various e-cigarette cartridges. That is why it is so urgent for FDA to begin its regulatory oversight of e-cigarettes, which must include ingredient disclosure by e-cigarette manufacturers to the FDA.
People have different opinions of the use of electric cigarettes. Last day when I search the internet, I found a consumer said that as an ex-smoker (and current user of electronic cigarettes), he can assures that the different flavors of nicotine juice appeal to a much broader market than kids under the age of 21. He said that he smoked a pack of cigarettes per day for 31 years. But on the day he first tried an electronic cigarette, he found that electronic cigarette also can help he to meet the needs of smoking. He use electric cigarettes instead of traditional cigarettes in the following days and doctors tell he that his lungs are much clearer than that before. But others are worried that e-cigarettes help maintain addiction and could also attract more people, especially children, to try the products and partly of consumers said that electric cigarettes can not really help to quit smoking. It is said that the BMA wanted e-cigarettes to be included in the ban on smoking in public places and encouraged organizations to prohibit their use.
