Ban e-cigs and vaping!

Dear Editor,

The vision of the Jamaica Coalition for Tobacco Control (JCTC) is for a tobacco-free Jamaica. Our mission is to denormalise the consumption of tobacco and all nicotine products, including cigarettes, smokeless tobacco products, heated tobacco products, and electronic cigarettes.

Electronic or e-cigarettes are a type of electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) which do not burn or use tobacco leaves, but vapourise a solution that is then inhaled. The solution in e-cigarettes may contain nicotine and other toxic chemicals, propylene glycol, glycerol, and flavouring agents.
