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 a high priority and the opposition questions the consequences of the product on people’s health as well as the concept the different flavored cartridges will attract youngsters.
“When I think of the kind of person that would use an e-cigarette, I prefer to think of an individual who would like a substitute for real cigarettes, not a child or a non-smoker,” claims Juliet Herstrom, a fan of e-cigarettes.
“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 threatening.
What about the incontrovertible fact that tobacco cigarettes contain this same chemical and thousands of others at higher concentrations? How come those nicotine patches and inhalers are permitted to be sold? Why is there all of this concern when there are products that deliver nicotine?”.
“I’m on month three, and I haven’t smoked a cigarette since I turned to the e-cigarette. If these are banned, the FDA will have hell to pay.
Amid the argument, the e-cigarette, a product that could massively change the smoking industry, has picked up the faithfulness of its fans.
