Lincoln Public School’s E-cig Policy Clarified
Smoke and Mirrors Much of the e-cigarette’s meteoric rise has been thanks to aggressive marketing campaigns by their manufacturers, touting the health “benefits” of vaping over smoking. A 2014 survey conducted by a team of researchers from the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UC San Francisco looked at nearly 60 e-cigarette manufacturers websites and found that more than 90 percent of them cited e-cigs as healthier, cheaper, and cleaner than conventional cigarettes, 76 percent of them said that e-cigs do not produce secondhand smoke, and a quarter of them even used paid doctor endorsements to drive home those v2 discount pointssuggesting that some e-cig companies are only paying lip service to the FDA’s stringent requirements about labeling. What these websites fail to mention is that e-cigarettes also deliver a fraction of the nicotine that cigarettes doroughly 20 percent (between 0 and 35 g of nicotine per puff) of what a regular cigarette delivers.
