E-cigarettes 'should be banned for minors'

E-cigarettes should be subject to the same regulations as cigarettes and should not be sold to minors, the American Heart Association said in new policy guidelines released on Monday.

The use of e-cigarettes has been increasing rapidly among young people in recent years, raising concerns about the potential for addiction risks and health damage.

E-cigarettes are electrical devices that heat flavored nicotine liquid into a vapor that is inhaled, much like traditional cigarettes but without the smoke.
