What is that new teen temptation
which has witnessed huge controversies in recent times? This is nothing but rising
use of electronic cigarette among US teens. I read a CDC survey in which it was
reported that the use of electronic cigarette devices by middle and high school
students doubled in 2012 over the previous year, so that now an estimated 1.78
million middle and high school students have tried them.
This is definitely alarming news
but I think Parents need to be more alerted. Whole nation is discussing thing
that kids should not be exposed to electronic and tobacco cigarette. Even best
electronic cigarette have prohibited the visit of minors to their
websites. Every visitor needs to confirm their age before buying. So, in this
way electronic cigarette brands have taken an intelligent move to control kids
smoking. When talking about schools, most of the schools have already banned
the use such device on school premise while rest are considering it and very
soon they are going to implement it.
I think everyone is doing their
job well. I personally feel that parents are the one who should be responsible
for it. It is every parent’s job to check if their kids are getting involved in
some ‘not good’ activities. They can easily check their kid’s activities.
Discussing it won’t bring any good rather taking initiatives to stop or control
it would definitely help.
Electronic cigarette is just an
alternative to tobacco cigarettes which simply means it is meant for those who
are already a smoker. Many products have been designed such as disposable
e cigarette, electronic cigarette starter kit and such others to help
smokers in cutting down the nicotine consumption in whichever way they want. I
strongly believe that parents can easily stop it and help the smokers in having
the access of this device.
