Recently published in the magazine Upfront the article Smoke signals talk about E-Cigs. E-Cigs are mechanical cigarettes which contain little to no tobacco. They claim that they only use liquid nicotine and a heater to warm up that nicotine to make vapor. Unfortunately this is not the only thing that is in Cigarettes.
E-Cigs are unregulated by the tobacco law as they have no tobacco. Which means that it is legal for any child to walk into the local Deli and buy one. E-cig companies can also show ads on television something which normal cigarette companies can't do by law. So they're unregulated, advertised, and... expensive, a pack of cigarettes costs about $9, E-cigs cost $50-$100. Also E-cigs have a very interesting ingredient. To keep the E-cig's liquid nicotine from freezing in the winter or in cold weather, companies use anti-freeze to keep the nicotine you smoke liquid.
So why do companies make E-cigs, which are just regular cigarettes with added anti-freeze? Because they want to make allot of money. But the type of money they want to make is worst type of money. Recently E-cigs have been releasing flavored cartridges to attract a younger audience. So that they can make money off of them for the rest of their lives.
This is happening right now in the U.S.A. So are we really the greatest Democracy on Earth or are we the greatest capitalists on the planet? Are we just here to make money? Or are we just here to engulf the planet and spew it out as an onslaught of plastic and things harmful for us. So are we capitalists or are we a Democracy?
