<br />WHO USES ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES?
<br />As a result of widespread availability, sales of e- cigarettes are
<br />increasing rapidly. Some predict that electronic cigarette sales
<br />could overtake traditional cigarette sales in the next decade.
<br />Electronic cigarettes are popular among people who are looking
<br />for an alternative to traditional cigarettes. These people are
<br />often looking for a "safer" alternative and the ability to smoke
<br />in places where cigarette smoking is prohibited.
<br />WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP PREVENTYOUTH
<br />ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE USE?
<br />It is critical that local municipalities regulate e- cigarettes. All e-
<br />cigarette vendors should be licensed and subject to the same
<br />provisions as traditional tobacco retailers to ensure youth do
<br />not have access to these products. Minnesota state law currently
<br />regulates the sale of e- cigarettes by prohibiting sale to minors.
<br />Local ordinances should be updated at the county and city level
<br />to ensure that e- cigarettes are not sold to those under 18 years
<br />of age.
