Additionally, the majority of anti-smoking groups
have been quick to denounce e-cigarettes on the
grounds that it is unproven to be a better alternative
to traditional cigarettes and that it is appealing
to children. Despite this, e-cigarettes have the
potential to be an important harm reduction tool
and can slash into the sales of big tobacco; thus, |
feel with a few regulations that e-cigarettes can be
the “future of cool.”

E-cigarettes come in many _ different
models and are accompanied with a wide range
of accessories. After seeing the variety of fruit
flavored liquid, leopard print caring cases, and
spaceship tips, | can sympathize with the people
who feel that electronic cigarettes are appealing to
children.

On the other hand, an age restriction
slapped on these products is probably the easiest
regulation in argue in favor for. | don’t think that
even big tobacco could come up with a reason
why we should make these products available to
children. Although the accessories provide an
opportunity to customize your smoking experience,
perhaps the “coolest” part of this new trend is the
businesses that openly flaunt Health Canada’s
cease and desist orders.

Health Canada has sent out many letters to
businesses who sell e-cigarette liquid that contains
nicotine; however, without any official regulations,
it is impossible to force vendors to comply.

Consequently, several businesses have taken
advantage of this. Vape Vision Café, in Moncton
New Brunswick, provides a location where people
can sample, buy, and use electronic cigarettes.
This business and others like it have sparked a
debate as to whether indoor smoking bans should
extend to e-cigarettes. Although there is no official
ban on indoor use of electronic cigarettes, many
places are quick to tell you that “you can’t do
that in here.” Thus, the e-cigarettes have given
businesses the ability to choose whether or not
they allow smoking on their premises.

Another “cool” aspect of the e-cigarette
is its potential as a replacement for traditional
cigarettes. Once again there is no official data on
how many people have switched, but there are
many antidotal stories about people who have
tried e-cigarettes and never went back. Although
it is possible to remain skeptical about how many
people actually quit, it's important to note that
e-cigarettes are a very new option within a long
line of quitting smoking products. Furthermore,
it's the only quitting tool that appeals to all the five
senses.

Since e-cigarettes allow you to customize
your smoking experience, can be used indoors
and possible allow you to quit smoking traditional
cigarettes, | feel that they are indeed “the future of
cool.”
