| ICYMI: In Case You Missed It |
When e-cigarette products were introduced in 2007, some public health officials hoped it would prompt young cigarette users to transition to seemingly less-harmful electronic products. However,
a new study out of the University of Southern California
suggests that rather than decreasing the number of traditional tobacco users, the product has attracted an entirely new population to nicotine use. Read the Article in the New York Times
