The local news here in Los Angeles aired a story today about the, "Alarming" rise in e-cig use among teens, and the local officials are calling this the new "gateway drug." A few years ago I was forced to sit through one of many drug awareness classes while serving in the Army, and I got into a rather heated debate with the instructor who started his discussion by proclaiming that {OTHER STUFF} is THE gateway drug. I argued that alcohol and cigarettes where the first substances that most youth experimented with before moving on to others. He vehemently argued that his position was the consensus of healthcare community, and the entire event ended with me coming dangerously close to disrespecting an officer! I find it interesting that tobacco products have been able to escape this label, but now all of a sudden millions of our nations youth are one ego-twist away from heroine!
