Any opportunity for electronic cigarettes to serve as an off-ramp for individual addicted adult cigarette smokers must not come at the expense of children. We’ll take every step necessary to prevent these products from becoming an on-ramp to nicotine addiction for a generation of youth. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are providing all necessary resources to gather and analyze information about the products used; where they were obtained; and whether they contain nicotine, substances like THC or other chemicals. Anyone who uses vaping products should avoid buying products off the street, avoid using ones containing THC oil, and refrain from modifying or adding substances to products purchased in stores.
