Electronic Cigarettes: New Route to Smoking Addiction for Adolescents

[Nika]

137. I know what I am talking about.

The only thing I will grant is I have a huge animosity toward tobacco use. I grew up in a time where my Mother -- now dead of cancer would chain smoke in a sealed air conditioned car torturing us kids. A big problem is E cigs do not stop people from smoking. Nicotine is addictive. That makes an E cig user without access at a moment someone who will light up to smoke tobacco, and an addict.

And I was also noting the deliver system in E cigs as an adaptable means for the delivery of other drugs. If it makes other drugs more accessible and easy to use, it will eventually be a means used to do so.

I have seen an argument where a smoker did not like the offer of a puff of vapor and continued to insist her boyfriend get a pack of smokes. And I have a fiend who was curious and got addicted to nicotine and now will smoke tobacco if they don't have access to their preferred way to do this addictive drug.

This is something that adds to the smoking problem, it does not help reduce it. It will also eventually be a twist to how other drugs are used.
