Vilified

     In his blog post "Keep e-cigs from being villianized in Texas" S. Singh pleads for e-cigs to not be viewed as harshly as cigarettes, and that they should be available for use in the public setting. However, I disagree with the de-vilification of e-cigs. Regardless if it's not killing you anymore, nicotine is still a very addictive drug that has had many problems through the years with teens getting a hold of it. With the state of de-vilification, vapor companies can begin targeting youth once again, also; with numerous people walking around vaping their e-cigs, it would only make it easier for the young to believe trying e-cigs isn't all that bad. From a young age if children become desensitized to the thought of nicotine, we could be dooming some youth from the start to a addictive, dependent life. I think that e-cigs should still be vilified in the public setting, but I will agree that it doesn't seem terrible to have at a bar, where everyone is of age and can make decisions for themselves.
