I had recently read in the news that the mayor of New York
Michael R. Bloomberg had dropped the idea of banning electronic cigarette and
cigarette displays in stores. I think it
is very thoughtful of him. Now we can even see the display of big and best electronic
cigarette brands in stores that are near us. I am really found of these electric cigarettes because they
simply mimic the act of smoking without letting us inhale the dangerous
chemicals that are present in the regular traditional cigarettes. These devices
are far better than the regular ones.
But all this think made we wonder that what will be the
impact of this on children. I mean that how would you explain your children
about these devices when they will ask about it. I think some regulation or
some think more effective needs to be done in this case. I am not against these
vapor cigarettes but my concern for children is more. Moreover the increasing
the minimum age to buy e cigarette from 18 to 21 years is not a good idea. I
think Bloomberg played smarty regarding these water vapor cigarettes. This
simply means that if you need to buy electronic cigarette you need to be at
least 21 years of age.
I don’t understand that if we can vote at the age of 18 year
why cant vape these vapor cigs at 18? We are mature enough at 18 to decide what
is right for us what is wrong. I think it is totally pointless in increasing
the age limit. At present the e cig industry is booming and the sales of these
battery operated device is all time high. But is this proposed law gets
implemented, the sales will be down considerably. Moreover I think we are smart
enough to know the difference between the cheap e cigarette in terms of
quality and price.
