American Cancer Society updates position on electronic cigarettes

The American Cancer Society has revised its position statement on electronic cigarettes, due to increases in e-cigarette use among children, teens, and young adults.  The 3 revised statements in the position statement include:

• No youth or young adult should begin using any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes 
• E-cigarettes should not be used to quit smoking 
• E-Cigarette users should not also smoke cigarettes or switch to smoking cigarettes, and former smokers now using e-cigarettes should not revert to smoking
