E-cigarettes emerging as a tool for space oil drug abuse: A dual threat to tobacco and narcotics control
Using e-cigarettes as tool of taking space oil drug emerged rapidly as one of the most commonly abused drugs among teenagers, posing significant challenges for smoking control and anti-drug efforts. Although the government has listed the main component of space oil drug, etomidate, as dangerous drug, the diverse flavourings and characteristics of e-cigarettes greatly enhance the appeal and ease of drug use, attracting teenagers to try and become addicted to smoking and drug abuse. The government should promptly fill the loophole of the current legislation by prohibiting the possession of alternative smoking products for any purposes. Only with this, the effectiveness of the tobacco control and anti-drug efforts would be achieved and the healthy development of young people would be safeguarded.
