ACS Clarifies Position on E-
Cigarettes
Ellen Scharaga
Introduction
A registered pharmacist in New York, Ellen Scharaga specializes in pharmacology
and pharmacy. Currently, she is an operational consultant at Algeria Specialty
Pharmacy. Ellen Scharaga is involved in community service through the American
Cancer Society (ACS).
Earlier in November, ACS updated its position on e-cigarettes. The update clarifies
the organization’s guidelines given the rising incidence of e-cigarette use among
the youth and young adults, and seeming disregard of the Food and Drug
Administration by not regulating e-cigarettes.
The following are ACS’s updated position on e-cigarettes.
The youth and young adults should not begin using tobacco products, including e-
cigarettes. Young people currently using these products are encouraged by the ACS
to quit as soon as possible. Those having trouble quitting must seek help.
E-cigarettes should not be used to quit smoking. The FDA did not approve any e-
cigarette as an effective and safe cessation product. ACS maintains that all tobacco
products, including e-cigarettes, are dangerous to health.
Current users of e-cigarettes should not also smoke cigarettes nor should they
switch to cigarette smoking. Additionally, former cigarette smokers who
shifted to e-cigarettes should not revert to smoking.
These updates were approved by the ACS Board in November 2019.
