There have been revelations in recent years about the dangers of e-cigarettes. The Centre of Disease Control in America states smoking e-cigarettes is a health risk for young people and teenagers. Among the potential health risks for young people are with labeling, as the website states: 'some e-cigarette labels do not disclose that they contain nicotine, and some e-cigarettes marketed as containing 0% nicotine have been found to contain nicotine.'
