 The FDA has found carcinogenic chemicals in samples of two brands of e-cigarettes, and has issued warnings about the potential health risks associated with these products.
 Many brands of e-cigarettes are manufactured in China and are not subjected to any quality control.
 Some public health researchers are concerned that e-cigarettes will act as a gateway to nicotine addiction.
 Many people, about half of them children under age 5, have suffered liquid nicotine poisoning due to e-cigarettes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: There are support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, private treatment facilities, hospitals, and community mental health facilities.
