Nicotine is addictive.
That alone is reason for the Legislature to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors in Texas. But it goes beyond that. There are also other harms inflicted by their use — for minors and adults.
Yes, e-cigarettes deliver, through vapor, less nicotine and are thought to be less addictive. But less doesn’t mean any addiction. Moreover, just because e-cigarettes are smokeless does not mean they don’t deliver carcinogens — formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, for instance.
Texas, according to a recent article by Todd Ackerman of the Houston Chronicle, is one of nine states without a ban. The Federal Drug Administration in April proposed new regulations for products “that meet the legal definition of a tobacco product,” such as cigars, pipe tobacco, nicotine gels, waterpipe tobacco — and electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes.
