Electronic Cigarettes: New Route to Smoking Addiction for Adolescents

[Tyhanna]

66. ANTZ abound....

Dr. Glantz is a huge #1 ANTZ, he will do anything he can to make all products having to do with tobacco go away including lie.
What hes not saying is how many people the e-cigarette (including teens) has helped to get off cigarettes, burning tobacco being the thing that cause all the health problems in people, not the nicotine.

Where I don't think teens should start up using e-cigarettes that have never smoked, those that do smoke need to quit or find a safer alternative to smoking if there going to do it. Teens have been smoking since cigarettes started hundreds and hundreds of years ago. I don't think that is going to change and even with all the regulation and laws teens are still smoking. Just like they drink alcohol and have sex. People should look at what caffeine does to children, people have no problem giving kids caffeine all the time.

With that being said they have found that nicotine with out the burning tobacco is not addictive to those that have never smoked. These were the people they used the patch for other medical problems.

The CDC study didn't show all the numbers, and didn't tell you that they never ask one of the most important questions having to do with addiction, "daily use" ( or at least they didn't show the numbers) and they didn't show how many of those teens were smokers already before using the e-cigarette.

"Dr. Thomas Frieden is the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Recently the organization released alarming numbers claiming the electronic cigarette trial among teens from 2011 to 2012 had doubled. This alone is a somewhat misleading statistic, but Frieden sat down with health news site Medscape for an interview and showed just how misleading he could make this figure......"

Seems there is always two sides to a story, but most will not look at both sides and fall into what ever side they like.


What it comes down to is loss of money to all the organizations that make money from Smoking cessation. The government, states, cities, counties all make money from people that smoke. ALA, ACS and the many others all get money from Big Pharma to push NRTs programs. So they will do anything they can to keep the money coming in including lie when they need to. The deep dark sick secret is they really don't want cigarettes to go away 100% and they see the e-cigarettes could make this happen. They also see that because there is no harm from e-cigs they wont have the ability to tax them like they did cigarettes.

There are more companies out there that make and sell e-cigarettes and e-juice, and all the parts that have nothing to do with Big Tobacco companies. Right now there are only 3 e-cigs made by BT, where there are hundreds of companies selling different kinds of e-cigs.

There are estimated 4 million using e-cigs in the US, and 10 million in other countries right now. Not one person has died in the 10 years e-cigs have been used from direct use of them. That is 14 million people world wide getting healthier every day they don't smoke. I thought that is what everyone wanted. E-cigs are targeted to those that just cant stop smoking, that have tried everything and nothing has worked. OR for those that want a safer alternative to smoking.
