Hot Issues - E-cigarette Prohibition in USA - How Do You Think Of It?

In many reports, smoking or e-cigarettes are blamed to be the main cause of recent lung diseases. However, no medical case among them is related with legal e-cigarettes clearly.

Only US Centers for Disease Control suggests that, “products containing THC play a role in the outbreak.” while THC can greatly influence psychology or spirit. However, it can be found that many cases occur in states where marijuana cannot be bought legally. According to this situation, Michelle Minton, a senior researcher and policy analyst speculates that consumers might buy e-cigarettes containing these illegal ingredients from black market.

For recent events, news website NNY360 published an article of Michelle Minton. She suggests that current prohibition is invalid but dangerous. She also writes: “prohibition always causes more problems than it solves.”

“All bans do is push consumers to make different, usually more risky, choices. In this case, the likely outcome of banning e-liquid flavors people want is that they will seek to obtain them through the black market or simply return to smoking cigarettes. As a result, many more will die of smoking-related diseases or tainted products,” Michelle Minton writes.

She also suggests that the government “With the aid of sloppy news reporting and biased announcements from federal officials, anti-tobacco advocates have successfully deceived the public into thinking that “vaping” is to blame”. Actually, e-cigarettes have helped millions of smokers to quick their deadly habits. Till now, many researches indicates that e-cigarettes can be effective and even more than traditional nicotine replacement therapy.

E-cigarette prohibition seems only to be an event in USA, but in today when globalization has become a trend and when the Butterfly Effect comes true, what the e-cigarettes prohibition in USA brings is that the export and import of related machines of manufacturers are influenced. Particularly, as we all know, the packages of e-liquid are various, such as ampoules package (with mono dose ampoule forming, filling and sealing machine) or blister package (with mono dose blister packing machine). But due to the prohibition, the export of similar machines in China are impacted.
