Vaping companies see decline in sales

I read an article about the country’s biggest E- Cigarette manufacturer filing for bankruptcy as sales have slowed down. E- Cigarettes were seen as a way to save lives and help end the epidemic of smoking related deaths but users are going back to regular cigarettes because the nicotine hits better. A new issue that was caused by the introduction of E- Cigs is the appeal to children and non-smokers and as public health authorities warn that vaping is dangerous it is actually beneficial for those who already smoke to switch. The negative portrayal is keeping people from switching and one scientist says “We may well have missed, or are missing, the greatest opportunity in a century” and  “The unintended consequence is more lives are going to be lost.”

Vaping may be bad for health and be attracting young non smokers but does that mean it’s just keeping them from going to regular cigarettes? People are going to do what they want regardless and it’s good to know there is a better option for those who do plan to go that route. I’m surprised to hear that sales are down because it seems like everywhere I go someone has one.
