The American Medical Association this week called for not just a ban on vaping flavourings, but a total ban on vaping … period.<\/p>\n

From a CBS News article:<\/a><\/p>\n

The AMA cited the lack of evidence about the short- and long-term health impact of e-cigarettes and vaping products in making the call for a total ban. The doctors’ group said a separate health issue also prompted its action \u2014 the recent U.S. outbreak of lung illnesses linked to vaping. Most of those sickened said they vaped THC, the high-inducing ingredient in marijuana, not nicotine. Officials believe a thickening agent used in black market THC vaping products may be a culprit.<\/p>\n

About 2,100 people have gotten sick; 42 have died.<\/p>\n

“It’s simple, we must keep nicotine products out of the hands of young people.” Dr. Patrice Harris, AMA’s president, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The AMA has previously sought bans on e-cigarette flavors and ads. At the same time, some states, municipalities and corporations are seeking to limit the products, with Massachusetts lawmakers set to vote on Wednesday on a bill that would ban flavored tobacco. That measure is aimed at reducing vaping among teens, with researchers finding that 5 million children and teens are now using the products<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I’m thinking the AMA position might be a bit<\/em> overly strong. I’m all for banning or at least regulating ecig advertising and banning the sugary flavours. But a total ban would leave millions of vapors, many of whom legitimately use vaping to get off cigarettes, with no other option but to run back to cigarettes for their nicotine fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
