What We Know • Unknown health effects • Serious adverse events (Chen, 2012) • Variable and/or undisclosed ingredients (Flouris & Oikonomou, 2010) • Youth vaping increased (smoking, too?) (CDC, 2013) • Smokers may not use them to quit (Sutfin et al., 2013) • Show promise as cessation aids (Polosa et al., 2011); comparable to nicotine inhalers (McRobbie et al., 2009)

Major Themes and Frames • Regulation vs. Health • Government vs People • E-Cigarette Companies vs Tobacco Companies • Bonus criticism: sociocultural context www.highlightpress.com
Take Home 1. Explore the media-scape. 2. Consider the sociocultural representation of smoking (it’s as important to consider as the epidemiology). 3. Consider the pros/cons of upstream and downstream messaging.
