Centers for Disease Control Concerned About E-Cigarettes’ New Target

    Federal health officials are concerned that manufactures of so-called electronic cigarettes are able to advertise their products to youth.

    FOX’s Eben Brown has more:

    Cigarette advertising was once directed at kids. Here’s the Flinstones in the 60’s…

    (Flinestones) “How’s about taking a nap?… I got a better idea! Let’s take a Winston break!”

    And now, the Centers for Disease Control say makers of E-cigs are aiming their marketing towards young people, often with celebrity pitches…

    (McCarthy) “Hey, I’m Jenny McCarthy…”

    E-cigarette use among teens soared in recent years, according to the CDC, as the industry spends more than a $100-million yearly on advertising with themes of independence and sex appeal.

    (McCarthy) “It even fits in the pockets of the tightest jeans.”
