Should E-Cigarettes Be Restricted in Public Areas?

Electronic cigarettes contain organic substances such as propylene glycol, perfume and nicotine. They are released into the air in closed form in the form of fog. According to FDA's research, these fine liquid particles can penetrate deep into the lungs. The e-cigarette report of the US Food and Drug Administration published in Germany also quotes ethylene glycol, its main components, nicotine, perfume, tobacco-specific nitrosamines, volatile organic compounds, acetone, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzo. Barium and silicates and various metal particle gifts ("FDA: Passive smoking of electronic cigarettes may be harmful to your health", 2013).

Electronic cigarettes contain nicotine and are classified as drug delivery devices in several countries because advertising is limited until the end of clinical trials on safety and efficacy. Since they do not contain cigarettes, US television commercials are not restricted. Some countries regulate electronic cigarettes as medical products despite not approving electronic cigarettes as a smoking article. In the commentary of 2014, it is recommended that the new phenomenon of electronic cigarette attract attention of health society, government and the public, and electronic cigarettes are regulated to protect consumers. In addition, he adds, "By strictly regulating the use of electronic cigarettes, continuous use of more unhealthy smoking is only promoted."

Author: Vaughan Lease: The way to manage electronic cigarettes is one of the largest public health dilemmas, this generation. Electronic cigarettes may be less harmful toxins than flammable tobacco and may not be fully exploited to reduce the risks associated with the use of tobacco. Switching traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes may cause the World Health Organization to be unable to deduce the death of one billion people due to smoking in this century. Electronic cigarette regulation should focus on preventing the use of adolescents while offering low risk alternative to current smokers. Fortunately, we have developed a successful strategy model to manage tobacco. Some of them have been shown to reduce the use of tobacco products by young people. These include:

• Strategy 4A. States, provinces, tribes, and municipalities have adopted a population-level strategy to reduce the use of electronic cigarettes by young people and adolescents, including electronic cigarettes in non-smoking indoor air policies, electronic cigarette restrictions on retail environments, and licenses It is necessary to implement it. Establish concrete packaging requirements with retailers. We are fully aware of the measures to effectively prevent young people from using tobacco (USDHHS 2012). Now we must apply these strategies to electronic cigarettes - and continue to apply them to other tobacco products. To succeed, we must cooperate to coordinate and coordinate the efforts of a wide range of stakeholders, including individuals, families, public health experts, and families.
