Should Electronic Cigarettes Be Given To Children?

[Happy-Tomato]

I am extremely shocked to see that when I walk down the street, there are 12 year olds thinking it is "cool" to "smoke" one. In my opinion it is completely disgraceful, what do you think?

Why teaching a child a bad habit (even if it dont kill)?

[Liva]

I remember when I was younger, there used to be chocolate cigarette looking things. They were the most delicious things but got stopped due to the bad effect it may have on children. Though at the time, I didn't think anything of it.

Then there were other musk stick things called '*insert the eff, aye, gee word here*' after cigarettes and they got changed to 'fads' due to the same reason as the other one. I did pretend I was smoking with them, everyone did! But that hasn't made me like smoking now. It was just a funny thing to do.

SO, I think an actual pretend cigarette isn't good, but the act of pretending to smoke with something isn't unusual. Everyone dos it at some point with something.

I'd be a lot more worried about the other things children get upto than smoking electric ciggies.

No e-cigs shouldn't be given to children, it's the same as normal cigarettes. They will be addicted and then once they run out of them they will go to normal cigarettes because they are easier to get a hold of. I remember the chocolate cigarettes and thinking back it at now.. it was basically the cigarette companies encouraging kids to smoke. :(

No, it still contains a drug.

Kids shouldn't be able to buy them, they're an over 18 product.
same morals as cigs, they shouldn't but they do. It's "cool" and u can't tell kids with "swag" what to do, society blows.

[Shar]

No. It's so not cool

[Futz]

i think the question's been asked slightly wrong

if you're legit asking if children should be given e-cigs then no they shouldn't be lmao

although you can get e-cig refils with 0% nicotine, the vapour you breathe in is still not good for you

[Chug!]

cigarettes of whatever nature are cigarettes. so no..
Although, I agree with others - there are much worse things 12 year olds of our society get up to.

[Eric]

No, isnt smoking a e-cigar pretty much like smoking a regular cigar except there's no smell

[Yawn]

well e-cigs r cheaper than normal cigs so i guess!
