E-cig

The U.S. government released a report in 2015 saying that one in six high school students used an e-cig within the last month.

The industry maintains that smokeless cigarettes are not stop-smoking devices, even though many e-cig users say they almost miraculously helped them end or reduce their smoking habits.

The tobacco industry is pushing a new kind of smoking device — the e-cig or vape pen — that it says is far healthier than traditional cigarettes: no tobacco, no tar, just nicotine and flavored vapor. […] E-cig makers say, and some health experts believe, that e-cigs could help lower these terrible numbers, because they contain far fewer toxins than traditional tobacco cigarettes.

Laranya Caslin [...] told the health and social care committee e-cigs are “a much bigger issue” than smoking - estimating one in four kids uses them.
