With the e - cigaret manufacture ’s late bonanza , it ’s no surprisal that vaping is also blow up in popularity among teens . Newly release CDC datashow that teen use of e - cigarettes triple to 13.4 percent from 2013 to 2014 , overpower traditional cigarette . Is this a good thing ? A bad matter ? Let us DISCUSS .
The CDC report shows that as e - cigs have grown in popularity , cigarette habituate has in fact fall — from 16 percent to 9 percent from 2011 to 2014 . Therein lies the challenge in interpreting the data .
enquiry on e - cigs is scant , but its dangers probably lie somewhere in between smoking and a nicotine - free lifestyle . If e - fag are leading to more teens to quit smoking , that is a ( relatively ) good matter . But if it ’s getting more teens addict to nicotine , then that ’s a bad thing . Unfortunately , it seems likea little bit of both .
What ’s less equivocal , though , is that e - cig producer are package their production toappeal to teens , with bright colors and flavors like Unicorn Puke . UNICORN PUKE ! ( Which one teenager account as “ every flavor Skittle compressed into one ” totheNew York Times . ) The FDA is nowlooking to baffle due east - cigarette , but with the paucity of useable research , that ’ll take years . Who cognize that kids will be fume vaping by then .
