Surgeon General’s Advisory on E-cigarette Use Among Youth

I, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, VADM Jerome Adams, am emphasizing the importance of protecting our children from a lifetime of nicotine addiction and associated health risks by immediately addressing the epidemic of youth e-cigarette use. The recent surge in e-cigarette use among youth, which has been fueled by new types of e-cigarettes that have recently entered the market, is a cause for great concern. We must take action now to protect the health of our nation’s young people.

KNOW THE RISKS. TAKE ACTION. PROTECT OUR KIDS

Advertencia de la Dirección General de Servicios de Salud sobre el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos entre los jóvenes

Yo, el director general de Servicios de Salud Pública de los Estados Unidos, vicealmirante Jerome Adams, estoy enfatizando la importancia de proteger a nuestros niños de una vida de adicción a la nicotina y los riesgos de salud asociados al abordar inmediatamente la epidemia del uso de cigarrillos electrónicos entre los jóvenes. El reciente aumento en el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos entre los jóvenes, acelerado por la reciente aparición de nuevos tipos de cigarrillo electrónico en el mercado es causa de gran preocupación. Debemos actuar ahora para proteger la salud de los jóvenes de nuestra nación.

CONOZCA LOS RIESGOS. ACTÚE. PROTEJA A NUESTROS NIÑOS Y JÓVENES.
