Mekinna Knight- Vapes

The article I brushed upon and will be discussing today is one that contains an issue not only affecting adults, but more likely kids all over the US and continental world. This is the problem that you may have heard of called vaping. This article explains how vaping has increased by nearly 80% in high schoolers and 50% in middle schoolers, pushing the US Food and Drug Administration to conceal the flavors being sold in attempt to make these e-cigarettes less appealing to kids. The man leading this attempt, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, says he does not want to take away everything appealing in hopes that these vapes could aid adults who struggle with smoking resulting in keeping the flavors mint, menthol, and tabacco flavors. He explains how these devices, meant to help, can not come at the cost of the people leading our future. He has also proposed expelling all youth-appealing ads and marketing for these types of products. All in all, Gottlieb is determined to save kids from assumption of vapes, and seems very passionate and willing to do anything to stop it.

This can be very closely tied to this even that happened in 1939. As many worrying heath studies began to pop up about cigarettes and the effect they had on the human body, the company Nixon agreed to sign a legislation banning cigarette ads on tv and radio.
