E-cigarettes are marketed as a better alternative to cigarettes, and a lot of companies make their ads to target teens. Because e-cigarettes are still so new there is not enough data to determine whether or not they really are safer than cigarettes. E-cigarettes still contain nicotine, but they don’t have tar or carbon monoxide. The liquid nicotine is also dangerous for young children who don’t even vape, this is because the pods of liquid nicotine are flavored and appealing to young children who drink the liquid and become poisoned.
The short term effects of electronic cigarettes are safer, but there is not enough data yet to know what damage is caused in the long run. E-cigarettes were originally marketed for those trying to quit smoking, but there was not enough significant data to prove this so companies had to stop marketing them for that reason. Now the goal of these companies is to get a whole new generation addicted to nicotine, wither the hopes of those who vape eventually turning to cigarettes.
E-cigarette ads are made to target teens. Using young people in their adverts and making the vapor different flavors, like candy and fruit, that will appeal to a younger generation. They are advertised in a way that can make you feel like you are missing out if you don’t vape.
Some investigations into the claims that e-cigs are healthier have already been looked into and found out that most e-cigs contain a chemical that is the main ingredient in antifreeze. It has been found that electronic cigarettes only contain 9 contaminants in them versus the 11,000 found in regular cigarettes, but that’s only two companies that were investigated. The FDA has no regulations on e-cigarettes and companies can fill them with almost anything they want.
It would be different if electronic cigarettes were marketed as a way for smokers to quit, or were marketed in a way less appealing to children and teens, but that’s not how it’s marketed. these companies know what teens like and how to get them addicted.
