Dear MEL Topic Readers,
San Francisco becomes first US city to ban e-cigarettes
An electronic cigarette also called e-cigarette or vapor is a battery-operated device that emits doses of vaporized nicotine. Users of e-cigarettes can enjoy a similar sensation to inhaling tobacco smoke without smoke. Though the manufacturers claim that e-cigarettes offer a more healthful alternative to cigarettes, there is growing evidence that vaping may be harmful. It contains nicotine that is addictive especially to the young and hazardous during pregnancy. Also, the aerosol contains harmful solvents, flavorings, and toxicants.
The most alarming problem seems to be teenage vapers who tend to do what others do. With alluring assorted flavors, such as menthol, peach pit, vanilla, chocolate, and mango tango, along with fashionable packaging and cool brand names, more and more teenagers are attracted to this smoking alternative.
Now, San Francisco is going to prohibit sales of e-cigarettes in and delivery to the city. It sounds controversial because San Francisco is where Juul Labs, the most popular e-cigarette manufacturer in the US, is located. They claim that the ban will drive their customers back to their competitor’s products, traditional cigarettes.
Isn’t it like staring at smartphones instead of TV screens? Both are addictive. In either case, how do kids get money to buy a smartphone or vaper?
