The FDA, CDC, and Media are working on Public Fear Tactics and trying to get people to believe
that E-Cigs are a threat to minors when the fact is -- They CANNOT be sold to anyone under 18.
Any time anyone finds these types of propaganda, they NEED to Rebuttal them!!!
Most people are unaware that E-cigs cannot be sold to minors and therefore, the propaganda is
believed and people think they are being aimed at our children.
They are using the "Appeal To Kids" crap as a Scare Tactic -- They aren't concerned with
whether children might pick up using them as much as they are trying to rid the world of nicotine use
altogether.
In fact, I believe I read a result from a survey that claims smoking among our "Youth" is way down
compared to just a few years ago.
This very statement (from the article) shows lack of education and common
sense:
There is still a lot we dont know about these products, including whether they will decrease or increase
use of traditional cigarettes.
A Simple Check on the stats as reported by e-cig users can clearly show that
tobacco and cigarette use
is Substantially decreased by people who have opted to use an e-cigarette.
In fact, I know of at least 20 individuals who have been using e-cigarettes and at least 18 of those have
totally given up using cigarettes while maybe 2 or 3 have been dual users -- BUT -- even the Dual Users
have dropped cigarette use by at least 85% to 90%.
If I can find a way to comment on that article... I am going to do so!
I had to write "ThinkProgress" because clicking the "Comment" link to the left of the article does nothing.
