A pediatrician has witnessed their patients becoming addicted to nicotine through the use of e-cigarettes and is now calling on the US FDA to take strong action to curb the use of these addictive products among young people. Led by Dr. Jonathan Winickoff, a medical doctor, public health master and pediatric researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital's Tobacco Research and Treatment Center, a white paper has been endorsed by national pediatricians and experts in children's tobacco control. The paper summarizes the serious and ongoing threats that flavored tobacco products pose to young people and describes the marketing strategies that e-cigarette companies have carefully designed to be more appealing to children and teenagers.
Urgent action is needed to address the issue of young people using e-cigarettes. Winickoff and his co-authors have put forward key recommendations, including marketing restrictions and a ban on flavored tobacco products, which have been endorsed by over 200 American pediatricians to protect children from the dangers of e-cigarettes.
