This article written by Joe Nocera is a highly controversial topic within teens and young adults. The use of e-cigarettes has been scrutinized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a new found addiction. The CDC believes that e-cigarettes are just as dangerous as normal cigarettes and are a detriment to the public health. Throughout the paper, Nocera is illustrating to the reader that he is very one sided with his opinion. Necura believe that e-cigarettes are not harming the youth but acting as a diversion to smoking combustible cigarettes.
Advertisements can promote the usage of electronic cigarettes for minors by using celebrities to persuade addiction as well. Promotion was in shows like The View and The Late Show with David Letterman (celebrities are usually seen as role models for the youth, and sometimes even adults). This role modeling may tempt minors to try e-cigarettes. (Jaime Joyce, "Is the E-Cigarette Bubble About to Burst?").

So, if initial reports are to be believed, these statistics show a trend of e-cigarettes having a positive effect on users who make the switch from regular to electronic. However, with there being more than 40 million people who are still using traditional cigarettes, there is still a lot of ground to cover.
In the article, “The Pros and Cons of E-Cigarette Regulation” Jason Healy, the founder of blu eCigs stated, “a new product that has tremendous potential to reduce tobacco-related harm and disease,” (13). With this statement, Healy is stating that e-cigarettes can be a better alternative to the traditional cigarettes because it won’t cause the same harm as a regular cigarette would to your body. Another argument that may come up is that e-cigarettes can satisfy one’s smoking addiction without actually picking up a traditional cigarette. The liquids that are used for this device contains chemicals that can stimulate the brain, to tell the mind that it’s getting the same sensation as a traditional cigarette. Another response may be that e-cigarettes can help smokers to quit.
Therefore the appearance of cigarettes was within the programs and the ads on television. A team of researchers did a study on cigarette consumption during the 1950s-1970s and they said “estimates suggest that television increased the share of smokers in the population by 5–15 percentage points, generating roughly 11 million additional smokers between 1946 and 1970” (“Home”). They go on to say that the biggest increase in smoking happened among Americans “between the ages of 16 and 21” (“Home”). This shows how teenagers are easily influenced especially by

Increasing the minimum age of tobacco products will lead to reductions in both smoking prevalence and cigarette consumption among smokers, especially among adolescents and young adults. Access will be decreased to minors and 18-20 year olds who already smoke have to be forced to quit.
