REPORTAGE
It is a public health phenomenon, an "epidemic" even for the US government, which is worried about its size. According to a recent public survey, one in four high school students in the United States vapote, attracted by the varieties of fruity or menthol aromas flavored electronic cigarettes. In response, Donald Trump has announced a decision shock: the outright ban of flavored electronic cigarettes.
Manufacturers use aggressive marketing techniques to appeal to this new target, even in schools. It's too much for Donald Trump, who in the oval office said, with one of his flights that he has the secret: "The vapotage concerns innocent children.They go home and say: 'mom I want to vape 'This is causing a lot of problems and we are going to have to do a few things about it.'
Already six mysterious deaths
Only the tobacco taste would not be withdrawn from the market. A public health measure for Donald Trump who fears to see a generation totally dependent on nicotine, after years of fighting against smoking.
Most importantly, the United States faces a mysterious disease that affects the lungs of electronic cigarette users. In recent weeks, more and more vapers are suffering from respiratory problems. Balance: six deaths and nearly 500 hospitalized. Among them, healthy young people, who are suddenly connected to an artificial respirator.
The San Francisco example
The aromas themselves are not considered harmful. But some of their components, including two oily substances, could be dangerous to health if inhaled. The US government hopes this text will appear in the coming weeks. Already prohibited to minors (18 or 21 years depending on the state), the flavored electronic cigarette would be definitively for all Americans. As is the case in San Francisco, the only major American city to have officially declared war on vaping.
