electronic cigarette today constitutes the substance of risk used by teens, according to US authorities, who say that you brands such as Juul and product similar s spreading faster than traditional cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana and other substances.
The teenage “vapeo” has become an epidemic of global nature, where more than 3.6 million minors consume nicotine through the use of electronic cigarettes, and however, no one knows what is the best way to help teens that may be addicted to nicotine.
While some measures have been taken to prevent devices from getting into the hands of minors, is not spoken nearly of how to treat the addiction to nicotine in children up to 11 years of age. It is possible that some will leave cigarette single-handedly, but experts agree that will cost many and you will have symptoms of anxiety, irritability, problems concentrating and loss of appetite.
Doctors who treat young patients have various dilemmas: therapies against the cigarette, the nicotine gum and patches, cannot be sold to minors because sufficient experiments have not been made and the results are poor. In addition, young people tend to think that it is impossible to become addicted to the electronic cigarette and have no incentive to quit.
Susanne Tanski, expert in prevention of tobacco from the American Academy of Pediatrics, said that “teens have their own ideas about what works with them and do what comes in wins”. “We need desperately studies that say what can function in this population,” said the specialist.

Its expansion helps the existence of small, easy-to-hide devices, they vaporize one sufficient quantity of a solution with high levels of nicotine and is used with flavors like vanilla, mango and caramel.
It is therefore that electronic cigarettes are already considered a pest in the schools of the United States, where government figures indicate that one in five high school students say have vapeado last month.
Quitting smoking is a complicated process. More than 55% of adult smokers tried to stop cigarette last year and only 7 percent could do so, according to the figures. No method to quit smoking has given results so far, as well nor psychological therapies.
