Very upsetting study by the Centers for Disease Control which speaks to the absolute biggest problem I have with e-cigarettes — how they are marketed.<\/p>\n

The e-cigarette industry has been just downright brazen and blatant about marketing their products to teenagers. E-cig ads today employ all of the exact same techniques used by the cigarette industry for decades to entice teen smokers — sexy, suave, sophisticated people using their products, cartoon characters (even Santa Clause) and ads featuring women’s panties. Women’s panties? … I mean, seriously, you just don’t get more blatant than that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the CDC survey <\/a>found that 7 out of 10 middle school and high school students had seen these e-cig ads, which are all over the place, magazines, mini-marts, billboards, etc. \u00a0Tom Friedman, head of the CDC, makes this exact point:<\/p>\n

\"ecig_custom-f5195ef495c578ad8c8850130b0d053934b80041-s6-c30\"
Yeah, sure, e-cigarette companies aren’t trying to market to kids at all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThe same advertising tactics the tobacco industry used years ago to get kids addicted to nicotine are now being used to entice a new generation of young people to use e-cigarettes.\u00a0I hope all can agree that kids should not use e-cigarettes.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that teen use of vaping products has absolutely exploded in the past three or four years. More than triple the number of kids vaped <\/a>in 2014 than in 2013 and studies show that more teenagers vape today than smoke cigarettes.<\/p>\n

This simply isn’t a good thing on so many levels. Kids are still turning into nicotine addicts, which is bad no matter what the delivery system of that nicotine is. And studies show that a higher percentage of kids <\/a>who start out vaping eventually turn to cigarettes to get their nicotine fix than kids who never vape.<\/p>\n

Blu E-cigs, fast, sophisticated, cool … they make you feel like a race car driver.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, what’s to be done. The Food and Drug Administration is mulling proposals for regulating e-cigarettes. One of the common-sense proposals by the FDA is to ban the sale of e-cig products to teens (most states already ban this, but it is not banned on a federal level … AND e-cig products can be easily purchased by kids online).<\/p>\n

The CDC recommends that e-cigs can only be bought in “face to face” transactions, and that online transactions be banned. The FDA did not propose banning online e-cig sales in its draft regulations, but it’s been working on finalizing those regulations for nearly a couple of years now. The FDA also didn’t consider any curbs on e-cigarette advertising in its draft regulations, something that caused a major hue and cry from anti-tobacco advocates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
