E-Cigarettes Face Potential Bans
Almost immediately after winning over the Food and Drug administration, e-cigarettes are facing another prospective hurdle, the general banning of their use in public places such as Airports. Regardless of the fact that electronic cigarettes do not produce the harmful smoke that tobacco based cigarettes do, they are the current center of debate revolving around whether or not they should be included in smoke-free laws or not. Electronic cigarettes create a vapor for users to inhale instead the smoke that is associated with traditional cigarettes. However, there is still some uncertainty as to whether or not any harm exists within the secondhand vapor that is produced. The FDA has announced that after rigorous testing of electronic cigarettes, it has found that some e-cigs contained various toxins besides nicotine; however, no adequate testing has been conducted on what nearby individuals might inhale.
Where the Debate Stands now
Currently, the only state that has openly banned the use of electronic cigarettes is New Jersey, while other states have slowly trickled in the banning of e-cigarettes only under their smoke-free laws. The use of e-cigarettes is a growing presence in the smoking industry, and while many people recognize them as a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes, the fact remains there is still very little known about them in relation to the potential long-term effects of consistent use. Until these findings are produced, more states could follow suit to New Jersey in the near future.
