<i>E-cigarette Use Among Youth and Young Adults: A Report of the Surgeon Genera</i>l</a>, to address the impact of tobacco on health, with a focus on e-cigarettes. The report, "confirms that there is no acceptable level of nicotine when it comes to our kids.
It notes that e-cigarettes are often a delivery system for nicotine, a highly addictive substance that can harm the developing brain. The report also confirms that the aerosol from e-cigarettes is not harmless<b>.</b> It can contain chemicals and particulates
that are dangerous to the person using these products ("vaping") and to anyone who may inhale that aerosol second-hand."

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated enforcement action</a> against four tobacco manufacturers for selling flavored cigarettes that are labeled as little cigars or cigars, which is a violation of the 2009 federal law that gave the FDA authority over
tobacco products. The FDA issued warning letters to four tobacco manufacturers – Swisher International Inc., Cheyenne International LLC, Prime Time International Co. and Southern Cross Tobacco Company Inc. – for selling products in a variety of youth-appealing
flavors, including grape, cherry, wild cherry and strawberry. The FDA’s warning letters give manufacturers 15 days to respond.<o:p></o:p></p>
