Electronic Cigarette Blog

Major new network, ABC, featured a story today on their website regarding the use of electronic cigarettes. They seem to gloss over many issues involved with the product and in fact seem to attempt to make a health claim. ABC states that, “Jamie Kopf of Consumer Reports took a look at the studies and says some suggest they might be a last resort for smokers who’ve tried quitting and failed.” ABC also breifly discusses online sales to minors. However they fail to mention that online retailers attempt to thwart the sale of e-cigs to minors by attempting to create flavors that appeal to adults and do not market to children. Whereas the flavored vodka market has almost been targeting youth lately with flavors like whipped cream, fruity ceral flavor, and other child-like flavors, the e-cig companies seem to try to keep the flavors mor mature. That said, ABC featured a very relevant story for the many e-cig users out there offering support and acceptance.
