An ode to ecigarettes (by Paul Keye)

No spooky chemicals or other  foreign ingredients in e-cigs.
Just pure nicotine.
For beginners, it's the perfect starter kit in candy counter flavors.
No burning, choking hard-to-get-used-to smoke.
For  longtime cigarette smokers guaranteed  nicotine dependency.
e-cigs. Pure Addiction.

 
(Paul Keye developed the original California anti-tobacco ad campaign.)
 
Of course, ecigs are not just pure nicotine.  But a little artistic license is ok (since Paul is not selling them).

So, what's the problem with nicotine dependency? Here in the UK, medicinal NRT products, often containing similar amounts of nicotine to ecigs, are approved for use by 12 year olds. In response to ecigs, the Phaceutical companies have recently brought out different fruity nicotine gum flavours. It is more difficult to buy paracetamol than nicotine gum.

Comment: 

You ignore the fact that e-cigarettes are being marketed aggressively to kids, who are rapidly taking them up.
Expanding the number of kids addicted to nicotine is a bad thing, not only because they may well go on to conventional cigarettes but also because nicotine affects the development of the adolescent brain.
