The Ethical Dilemma of E-Cigarette Regulation

Introduction Moral dilemmas occur on different scales. These dilemmas and their associated complexities include personal conflicts and company conflicts. The personal definition of the ethical dilemma depends on the nature and structure of the particular situation, and the value of conflict. Harold Gotttner defines a moral dilemma as "two or more competing values ​​are important and contradictory." If you provide values, it is important that you provide another value Can not deny other people who ignore one or more values ​​to maintain one or more values. "

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:

It is very difficult to supervise unless there is reliable evidence. If you do not reinforce all aspects of better control of tobacco control, taxes and youth access, you should not implement electronic cigarette restrictions. Electronic cigarette restrictions should focus on product safety and minimize the ability for young people to access and control candies. They should be designed to promote harm reduction - the conversion from tobacco to electronic cigarette reduces harm caused by tobacco to almost zero - and is associated with strategic research to evaluate the impact . We need to do research to investigate the effect of electronic cigarette on the use of tobacco products and the effect of using electronic cigarettes on health effects.

Electronic cigarettes have great potential to reduce smoking and ultimately eliminate smoking. The key to their success is how to oversee. Federal regulation is necessary to prevent electronic cigarettes from becoming a portal tool for tobacco use, especially adolescent use, and to prevent dual use of electronic cigarettes and cigarette cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes should be managed as a new nicotine delivery system. Most of these regulations are in line with current packaging, labeling, marketing and promotional cigarette guidelines, but new regulations inherent in electronic cigarettes are also required, such as prohibition of sales of nicotine flavor for children.
