Smoking is unpopular and smokers are politically weak.
Smoking is still legal. What is not legal is (DWI) Driving While
Intoxicated, so why is alcohol not being targeted as part of this "sin tax".
The problem with a cigarette tax is simple. The money it generates is used
to pay for social programs not to stop or curtail smoking.
E Cigarettes - The best cure is to quit cold turkey or consult
with your doctor.
Electronic Cigarettes should not be advertised as smoking cessation
devices or cures.
Nor can any beneficial health claims be suggested through
it's usage. A recent federal appeals court ruling that states
electronic cigarettes should be regulated as tobacco products
instead of drug-delivery devices. Although both are regulated by the
Food and Drug Administration, drug-delivery devices are subject to
more stringent requirements. For more on the ruling

You must be of legal
age to purchase an E Cigarette. Public health advocates have
complained the products are marketed toward young people and can
serve as a "gateway" to tobacco smoking because electronic
cigarettes are not covered by federal tobacco laws. Electronic
cigarettes produce a nicotine mist absorbed directly into the lungs.
Most can easily pass as a tobacco cigarette with slim white bodies
and glowing amber tips. They even emit what look like puffs of white
smoke.
Electric cigarettes that contain
nicotine, can be addictive. However, non nicotine is available. It is not a medical device and there
are no claims that is will help a person quit smoking. Electric
cigarettes are allowed to be used only by adults (minimum age 18 or
21 depending on individual's state laws. For recreational use only
no claims made.
Electronic cigarettes are powered by a rechargeable battery. It also
has an atomizer which is activated by inhalation. The nicotine,
which is in the form of liquid, is sprayed in small quantity upon
inhalation. Electronic cigarettes also come in a number of flavors such as no nicotine, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, menthol
etc.
Most electronic cigarettes uses disposable
atomizers and do not produce typical cigarette waste.
So an ash tray is not needed. When choosing
an electronic cigarette, study the information supplied and the
design. The most popular types are of a two part
design where each used cartridge is disposable, you therefore don’t
need to clean the atomizer, and get dirty with liquids. |
