E-cigarettes Popular among Teenagers

Parents and experts are expressing concerns about the rising popularity of electronic cigarettes with teenagers since the product's health effects are still unknown. The electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, have been increasingly present in Quebec corner stores over the past year and are being seen as a possible gateway to smoking. The product makes steam similar to tobacco smoke. Health Canada forbids the sale of e-cigarettes that contain nicotine, but authorizes the sale of the nicotine-free version of the product.

E Cigarettes Will Be Benefited from Tax Hike on Cigarettes

Cigarette tax is increasing and though cynics suggest that this is not a government move to improve the public’s health, it seems to be driving smokers away from traditional cigarettes.

US state governments and the national government may inadvertently be increasing the popularity of the E-cigarette because of tax increase which are severely affecting the price of regular cigarettes. Smokers in some states are now being forced to pay upwards of $10 a pack. Those who smoke one pack a day will spend an annual total of over $3,500 to feed their habit.

Deltascan.org, a website which provides E cigarette reviews as well as being a direct link between consumers and E cigarette companies, say that every tax increase is leading to a spike in the sales of the organizations they are affiliated with. According to the site, these tax increases could be the best thing that has ever happened to E cigarettes.
