Abstract

E-cigarettes are products delivering nicotine via inhalation and are devised to mimic tobacco smoking. While they were initially introduced as a device putatively to aid with smoking cessation, their use is now far broader than that. Use by children is significantly increasing. There is growing evidence of the potential harms of vaping. E-liquids used for e-cigarettes contain a wide range of harmful substances, and the clinical consequences of this are now being increasingly demonstrated, such as the rise in cases of e-cigarette- or vaping-associated lung injury. In addition, early use may result in long-term nicotine addiction. Vaping companies utilise marketing methods that distinctly target young people, and weak legislation in the UK allows them free rein to expose children to vaping. In this review we demonstrate why children must be protected from vaping. We must have stringent legislation to prevent easy access to e-cigarettes, including banning the convenience and affordability disposable vapes provide, and prevent marketing that does not warn about the potential health effects. The Australia approach of prescription or pharmacy only access for smoking cessation should be considered to limit exposure of children and minimise use by nonsmokers.

为什么以及如何保护儿童免受大量与吸烟有关的媒体和营销过度曝光的影响?
电子烟是一种通过吸入提供尼古丁的产品,其设计目的是模仿吸烟。虽然电子烟最初是作为帮助戒烟的设备推出的,但现在其使用范围远不止于此。儿童的使用率正在大幅上升。越来越多的证据表明电子烟具有潜在危害。电子烟使用的电子液体中含有多种有害物质,其临床后果也日益显现,如电子烟或电子烟相关肺损伤病例的增加。此外,早期使用可能会导致尼古丁长期上瘾。电子烟公司利用明显针对年轻人的营销方法,而英国薄弱的立法又允许他们随意让儿童接触电子烟。在这篇评论中,我们说明了为什么必须保护儿童免受吸食电子烟的危害。我们必须制定严格的法律,防止儿童轻易接触到电子烟,包括禁止使用方便、价格低廉的一次性电子烟,防止不警告潜在健康影响的营销方式。应考虑澳大利亚的做法,即戒烟只能凭处方或药房购买,以限制儿童接触电子烟,并尽量减少非吸烟者使用电子烟。
