As opposed to last year which witnessed an alarming rate of cigarette smoking in the US and a huge number of nicotine addicts, this year, the rate of nicotine addiction, tobacco consumption and even passive smoking has seen a decline. However, even though it is good news for the US Centers for disease control, it altogether doesn’t fetch a handsome deal because the rate of vaping and third hand smoking has equally increased.
“people have started to switch from cigarettes to electronic cigarettes as it is easier to smoke and it doesn’t involve much price difference and this concept is inculcated among the public through the vigorous effort of the Public health community.” Says Dr. Robert R. Redfield.
E-cigarettes have been in fashion in the US since late 1980’s and have gained popularity over the years. Even though its not as harmful as tobacco, vaping does effect the general health of the public. However, there is still no solution for third hand smoking where the nicotine clings to the dresses and other objects. However, overall it can be declared as a small achievement towards public health.
