The 2014 article Why e-cigarettes should be banned from minors by Gary A. Emmett supports the belief that e-cigarettes have negative effects on health and should be inaccessible for minors.

    “According to Amanda Woerner, a writer for the daily beast , [e-cigarettes were] introduced to the public as a product with the potential to shield smokers from the dangerous effects of Marlboros, e-cigarettes are marketed as a way to get your nicotine fix without inhaling all that lung-blackening smoke that’s been directly linked to cancer and heart disease.

In the article it said, “allow people to “smoke” nicotine-laced vapor instead of combustible, tobacco-based products” (Gelbelhoff). PubMed Health has stated that when you absorb nicotine it can help you quit smoking, therefore e-cigarettes have a positive side.

    If you receive your news and information from traditional sources of media, such as television or newspapers, then you have more than likely seen a story similar to “Electronic Cigarette Disaster: Child Wounded” or “Electronic Cigarettes Are Targeting Our Children.” News channels, such as Fox News, capitalize on the rare instances of device malfunctions, which result in minor explosions, and cherry-pick the scientific studies that agree with their opinion on electronic cigarettes.
