  • Title: E-cigarettes: facts, perceptions, and marketing messages.
    Author: Carr ER.
    Journal: Clin J Oncol Nurs; 2014 Feb; 18(1):112-6. PubMed ID: 24476733.
    Abstract:
    Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are perceived as an alternative to standard tobacco cigarette smoking, primarily because of the e-cigarette industry's marketing messages. However, scientific studies about e-cigarette safety and efficacy remain limited. This column presents some of the issues associated with e-cigarette use, such as potential components of regulation, perceptions that e-cigarettes can help users quit smoking, and free-wheeling marketing strategies that include expanding e-cigarette use to young people. Nurses can be a reliable source of information about e-cigarettes.
