Electronic Cigarette Users Angry Over Possible FDA Prohibition
A lab study performed at the request of the Food and Drug Administration exposed ingredients in electronic cigarettes that skeptics suspected from the beginning. The minuscule presence of diethylene glycol, an ingredient that is in antifreeze and certain levels of nitrosamines were discovered in some cartridges.
Concern over the safety of these products is paramount and the opposition questions the effect of the product on people’s health as well as the speculation the different flavored cartridges will attract kids.
“When I like to think of the sort of person that would use an e-cigarette, I prefer to think of a person who would like a reasonable substitute for real cigarettes, not a kid or a non-smoker,” claims Juliet Herstrom, an advocate of e-cigarettes. “It’s not labeled as a cessation device, but they will not control what people attempt to use it for.”
The e-cigarette is neither a smoking cessation device nor has it been classified by the FDA as of this time. “It matters, naturally, that there’s the presence of this chemical in e-cigarettes,” continues Herstrom. “But given the choice between the 2, the smarter choice for a smoker is the e-cigarette. They find a single chemical in the e-liquid and all of a sudden e-cigarettes are perilous.
Jennifer Corcoran, a fan and user of e-cigarettes, declares that “there will be war in the courtroom if any law is passed that restricts the sale of these devices.” She, among others, believes the e-cigarette could really help smokers stop smoking.
