You are prescribing something that contains nicotine, which is the addictive ingredient, to help others quit smoking? I can see the reason here.
Now, these people come up this this product, which CONTAINS nicotine, and markets it towards the general population, and the kids think its 'cool', because its "not really smoking or polluting the environment around you"
BUT it contains an addictive product?
Am I reading this right?

I'll correct you. First of all, they market it as a smoking replacement.
Second of all, no one of the e-cigarettes contains nicotine from birth - it doesn't work that way. Any e-cigarette needs juice to run. That juice can contain nicotine, but surely doesn't necessarily. In the USA nicotine-juice is illegal. There has been few studies of the effects of nicotine-juice... but all the elements except the nicotine is buyable in any convenience store. What you need is basically Vegetable glycerin, flavouring (fx vanilla) and you got yourself some juice.
The reason that it's illegal has more to do with any nicotineproduct being labeled as medicine, therefore it has to go through expensive testing... except for cigarettes of course - despite all their ills, they are still sold everywhere, while their healthier counterparts must use a mountain of money just to get their product on the streets.
