Advertising for E-cigarettes tempts Teens to smoke

In Germany, the prohibition of advertising for tobacco products and E-cigarettes are significantly less strict than in other countries. A study from Kiel, shows that children and young people will be seduced by advertising for Smoking E – tobacco cigarettes and a comprehensive ban would benefit.

A survey of 6 902 pupils between ten and 18 years, showed that 39 percent had seen cigarette advertising. You used 2.3 times more likely to E-cigarettes and smoked with a 40% greater probability of tobacco than their peers who had not seen any cigarette advertising. Other factors such as age, experimentation, type of school and Smoking friends also contributed to the Smoking of tobacco and E-cigarettes. Dr. Julia Hansen, a scientist at the Institute for therapy and health research in Kiel &quot notes: ;In this large study with young people, we see a clear pattern: Those who say they have seen E-cigarette advertising, tend to use E-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes. The study suggests that the advertising of electronic cigarettes reached these vulnerable young people. At the same time, we know that the manufacturers of electronic cigarettes even offer kid-friendly flavors such as gummy bear, bubble gum and cherry." Hansen is, therefore, of the opinion that they should be protected from any kind of cigarette advertising.
