Snuff out e-cigarettes for minors

For seasoned smokers, e-cigarettes that release nicotine through vapor instead of smoke provide a potential path to kicking the habit over competing smoking cessation aides, such as nicotine gum and patches. But Attorney General Maura Healey and others say e-cigarettes pose addiction dangers quite similar to those of tobacco products, which is why she has proposed a statewide ban on selling e-cigarettes to minors under the age of 18. Our readers agree with her, based on the results of our poll from the week of March 30.
