The major conclusion in the report is that e-cigarette among youth and young adults has become a public health concern. Actions like incorporating e-cigarettes into smoke-free policies, increases taxes and price, educational initiatives, preventing access to youth and regulating marketing are suggested (although the reports mentions that \u201cactions can be taken\u201d instead of \u201cactions should be taken\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the report was released together with a very well-designed website, with sections like \u201cKNOW THE RISKS\u201d, \u201cget the facts\u201d and \u201ctake action\u201d.
