NO ECIGS 4 KIDS!

Dear Friends,

Kids and teens are smoking fewer cigarettes every year. This is a huge win for our public health.

But that victory is being threatened by e-cigarettes. While e-cigarette companies will have you think their products are safe, no clinical studies have been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). So we truly don't know what chemicals they contain, how much nicotine you inhale, and how dangerous they are. We do know that nicotine is highly addictive, and use of e-cigarettes can lead kids to try other tobacco products, such as conventional cigarettes, which are known to cause deadly diseases, such as lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema.

And e-cigarette companies are advertising to our children.

This Sunday at 11AM, Comptroller Stringer and I are hosting an indoor rally at Goddard Riverside Community Center to call on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and FDA to study and regulate e-cigarettes. And we are calling on e-cigarette companies to STOP marketing to our kids.

Hope to see you there,

Letitia James
New York City Public Advocate
