Potential Harm of E-cigarette Sales on Youth Health
According to reports from foreign media, e-cigarette sales have increased by 50% between 2020 and 2022, as per the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts believe that one of the main reasons for this growth is the availability of flavor-based products targeting underage individuals.
A government survey estimates that 2.5 million young people are using e-cigarettes, and an increasing number of e-cigarette products are now containing nicotine. Health experts believe that this could be extremely detrimental to the growth and development of young people.
Liz Pray, of the American National Association of School Nurses, has asserted that the chemicals found in these e-cigarettes are having a detrimental impact on brain development and lung health. In fact, we may still not fully comprehend their potential long-term effects.
The school nurse suggests parents discuss the hazards of e-cigarettes with their children, while emphasizing the advocates' call for a wider ban on the sale of e-cigarettes and the use of e-cigarette products.
