E-cigarettes a youth trap

Most adults who smoke daily has started as teenagers , and it is therefore worrying that smoking among adolescents in high school increases. Year before last smoked 39 percent of girls and 34 percent of boys in upper secondary study year 2. The report shows school pupils drug habit in 2012 from Central Association for Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAN ) . The explanation may be the very intensive promotion of tobacco products in social media where young there . The increased presence of tobacco products online confirmed in a recent government study that was presented to the responsible Minister Maria Larsson (KD) . Research shows , according to the WHO, that when young people experiment with tobacco , it is because in about a third of cases of tobacco advertising or other promotions.

More and more voices are being raised to tobacco products should not get exposed visible at points of sale . We believe it is high time for Sweden , as in Australia , Canada, Iceland, Ireland , Norway, Finland , the UK and Thailand limit the opportunity to market tobacco in the trade. The young , who are more susceptible to tobacco advertising than adults , want a ban . According to a survey by the organization A Non Smoking Generation sounded Novus redo Swedish young people's attitudes to the display of tobacco products in shops and the like. More than 1000 people aged 16-25 years were interviewed , and the results show that six out of ten think that Sweden should introduce a ban on cigarette displays in retail outlets .wholesale vapor cigarettes

Research shows the decision to remove all the tobacco from shelves have effect. An international study conducted in four countries between the years 2006-2010 shows that the hidden sales reduces unplanned purchases of tobacco and that in turn reduces the tendency of young people to buy cigarettes. In addition to the products that we often associate tobacco with , has a relatively new phenomenon emerged in the Swedish cigarette market , namely electronic cigarettes - so-called e-cigarettes . When using the e-cigarette forms a vapor and nicotine , as e-cigarette often contains , inhaled into the lungs and goes into the bloodstream.

E-cigarettes can be a juvenile trap. They are nicely designed and sold as if it were ice cream - with flavors of chocolate, vanilla and raspberry . The parallels to the alcoholic soft drink is scary and therefore sales should be regulated and the knowledge of the effects increase. Even today, seven out of ten young people heard about e-cigarettes , even though it is such a new phenomenon. And 12 percent of the country's young people aged 16-25 have tried e-cigarettes .

It is high time that we in Sweden govern the sale of e-cigarettes while legislating on covert sale of tobacco products. That would be in line with the government's ambitious public health work .
