For starters, nicotine is highly addictive. <\/a>\u00a0Because the brain is still developing, nicotine use during adolescence can disrupt the formation of brain circuits that control attention, learning, and susceptibility to addiction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/preview\/mmwrhtml\/mm6349a1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The aerosol emitted from ENDS is NOT harmless \u201cwater vapor\u201d and is NOT as safe as clean air<\/a>., as the tobacco industry claims. ENDS generally emit lower levels of dangerous toxins than combusted cigarettes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23467656\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">However, in addition to nicotine, ENDS aerosols can contain heavy metals, ultrafine particulate, and cancer-causing agents like acrolein<\/a>. ENDS aerosols also contain propylene glycol or glycerin and flavorings. Some ENDS manufacturers claim that the use of propylene glycol, glycerin, and food flavorings is safe because they meet the FDA definition of \u201cGenerally Recognized as Safe\u201d (GRAS).<\/p>\n<p>However, GRAS status applies to additives for use in foods, NOT for inhalation. The health effects of inhaling these substances are unknown. Now that the FDA has made its ruling, it will be able to properly evaluate and inform the public of the toxic ingredients in these alleged harmless devices.<\/p>\n<p>The tobacco industry\u2019s aggressive marketing schemes to drive up ENDS usage are similar to tactics that are proven to lead to youth cigarette smoking.\u00a0 For instance, in a randomized controlled trial, adolescents who viewed e-cigarette TV advertisements reported a significantly greater likelihood of future e-cigarette use compared with the control group. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26163170\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">They were also more likely to agree that e-cigarettes can be used in places where smoking is not allowed<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surgeongeneral.gov\/library\/reports\/preventing-youth-tobacco-use\/full-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Some ENDS companies are using techniques similar to those used by cigarette companies that have been shown in the 2012 Surgeon General\u2019s Report to increase use of cigarettes by youth, including: candy-flavored products; youth-resonant themes such as rebellion, glamour, and sex; celebrity endorsements; and sports and music sponsorships.<\/a> We now urge the FDA to take the next logical step to make recommendations to discourage TV advertising, especially to young people.<\/p>\n<p>When the Department of Transportation announced a final rule that explicitly bans the use of electronic cigarettes on all scheduled flights of United States and foreign carriers involving transportation in, to, and from the U.S. just a few months ago, health advocates cheered.<\/p>\n<p>The department took a practical approach to eliminate any confusion between tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes by applying the same restrictions to both. And just like with the DOT, the long-awaited FDA final ruling represents critically-needed regulation that protects the general public. It also provides guidance and reassurance to the public health community in its ability to face the ever-evolving nature of tobacco use, including nicotine addiction, and its harmful effects.. This is an important step to clear the smokescreen of tobacco industry deception for the American public, and a victory for public health advocates everywhere, who are, collectively, inhaling a breath of fresh air<\/p>\n<p><em>Keith A.
