Many individuals, in particular those who are smokers and those who want to quit smoking, utilize e-cigarettes because they think e-cigarettes aren't harmful.
However, they are very misinformed, because e-cigarettes are actually very dangerous, the author provided evidence and informs that e-cigarettes "deliver nicotine to the lungs through a battery-generated vapor" (Fehling). This product is advertised widely throughout the United States, and thousand of people purchase these e-cigarettes without knowing they are terrible for their health. The author of this article, April Fehling, further supports her argument that e-cigarette advertising should be banned by providing evidence that traditional cigarette commercials and advertising have not been allowed on T.V. since 1971, and neither should e-cigarette advertising. Although e-cigarettes are not traditional cigarettes, they should'nt be allowed on television since traditional cigarettes haven't been allowed to be on T.V. for years, neither should electronic
cigarettes.
It's extremely important that the advertising and distribution of cigarettes is banned, the author's point of view on the advertising of e-cigarettes is that the advertising of e-cigarettes should not be permitted. One particular reason to not allow the advertising of e-cigarettes, as stated by the author, is that the "use of e-cigarettes is also growing among children" (Fehling). This point in particular, is very worrying because it is truly disgusting that distributors of e-cigarettes are selling them to young children, this should be illegal and looked into by prestigious federal agencies. It is astonishing how e-cigarettes are allowed to be purchased by young children, this will cause the rate in smokers to increase significantly because children will be curious to try the traditional cigarettes, that distribute even more tobacco towards their lungs. The high rate in purchases of e-cigarettes should be worrying, especially towards individuals who have children, children are under age and utilizing and purchasing e-cigarettes is very serious because they are essentially using drugs.
The author of this article further states that the advertising of e-cigarettes should not be allowed by mentioning that "the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to propose rules that could govern how and where e-cigarettes can be sold", adding this extremely important source of information shows that even very important federal industries to not agree with the advertising and distribution of e-cigarettes. My point of view in this specific situation, is that the advertising of e-cigarettes should not be permitted, I completely agree with the author's point of view which is also against the advertising of e-cigarettes. There are various reasons in which I think the advertising of e-cigarettes should not be allowed, primarily with the fact that children are allowed to purchase e-cigarettes, it is utterly terrifying how children are being lured into drugs. In addition, e-cigarettes should not be allowed for advertising because traditional cigarette advertising has not been allowed since 1971, and neither should e-cigarettes because they are just are terrible. Finally, another reason that I do not agree with the advertising of e-cigarettes is that the Food an Drug Administration, which is a federal agency, does not agree with the advertising and distribution of e-cigarettes, as well.
In conclusion, the author's point of view and my personal point of view on the "Advertising of E-Cigarettes" are both similar, we agree that the advertising of e-cigarettes should not be allowed. Primarily because e-cigarettes are being distributed to young children, which is essentially the distribution of drugs. Also, e-cigarettes are actually harmful although individuals don't think so.
