 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. Psychologists can also provide therapy (group, individual, or family) aimed at examining the underlying causes of addiction and providing positive coping strategies.
