煙草商吸引孩子們上癮

煙草商的替代客戶無法合法購買他們的產品，但這並未阻止大煙草商營銷機器耗資數十億美元，以社交媒體廣告、有趣的口味，以及看似比父母使用的香煙危害更小的產品來針對孩子銷售。1

煙草商將商業模式建立在加倍致力讓年輕人上癮，他們在對孩子實驗新產品及新口味，並觀察何種最有效果的同時，也在危害孩子們的健康。這個產業創造出薄荷醇、藍莓、香蕉冰及北極清涼薄荷等口味，以掩蓋孩子們不喜歡的煙草刺激苦味，讓開始使用煙草產品更輕易，甚至更難戒除。23 大煙草商依賴年輕人使用他們的產品以賺取利潤，並得以繼續維持業務。4 口味電子煙是孩子們的首選產品，而使用電子煙的青少年有超出3倍的可能性成為日常吸煙者。35

絕大多數使用煙草的加州高中生都吸電子煙，而吸電子煙與使用其他煙草產品(如香煙)相較，更容易吸入及吸收更高濃度的尼古丁。36 尼古丁與海洛因一樣會令人上癮，不但會毒害發育中的大腦，還會重塑大腦對尼古丁產生更多渴望，如此會導致尼古丁戒斷症狀，如頭痛、煩躁，以及無法集中注意力。7891011 我們已知尼古丁會影響學習，並會增加焦慮不安、情緒波動、和暴躁易怒的感覺。12131415

但這並非都與電子煙有關，其他的煙草產品由於具有眾多口味、價格低廉，而且易於購買，因此也同樣深具吸引力，例如無煙的煙草，如鼻煙或嚼煙，以及雪茄煙和小雪茄。1617 不幸的是，這些產品對於發育中的大腦和身體也同樣有害，因為其中都含有尼古丁。18

這是應該打破上癮循環的時刻。我們有力量在加州創造更美好、無煙草的未來，而且必須從阻止大煙草商以孩子們為目標而導致疾病與死亡開始！

只要有任何電子煙到手，孩子們就會很輕易地開始使用。他們會先購買信用卡類型的禮卡，然後再使用這些卡在網上購買電子煙具設備。我們在學校辦公室裡已經看過各種形狀、大小和品牌的電子煙。
