So, I read
this article
yesterday.
The first time I saw an e-cig was on the
cruise. I thought it was
ciga-weed in a new type of pipe.
Fast forward
to today, it seems everybody and God has an e-cig now instead of an old school
cancer stick. I saw the smoke and
wondered what was the difference between an e-cig and an old school cancer
stick. Apparently, nada…except for one
thing.
Kids can get
e-cigs pretty easily. Scary after
reading the article.
I figured
there was more to the “steam” people try to pass it off as. I mean, it could be a placebo of some sort,
but really? But, then, why can’t people
move on from it once they start? I’m not
saying everybody goes from addiction to another, some use them as a stepping
stone to quitting, but obviously they’re used by smokers, who don’t want the
smell that comes from getting that fix the old school way.
Furthermore,
since there’re flavors, it stands to reason that quitting e-cigs’s harder. Everybody likes good flavor to anything.
Then, we
come back to the kids. Obviously, the
companies didn’t think kids’d get their hands on them, so now, they’re having
to play catch up and damage control to prevent more kids from being a
statistic.
No,
companies aren’t babysitters, but if companies never intended e-cigs for kids,
they’ve got an obligation to label appropriately, so lil’ Johnny or Jane can
just go to, say, 7-11 and pick up some bubble gum cancer.
Just
thoughts.
Be good to
each other.
