From the Ted Talk by Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin: What you should know about vaping and e-cigarettes
Unscramble the Blue Letters
You know, when I said earlier that e-cigarettes were a perfect fit for the srtnhpoame generation, I was not kidding. We live in a technology-crazed world, where the latest device and teocglohny gets a lot of attention just because it is technology and because it is the latest thing. More and more over the next few years and for the rest of our lives, we are going to see technologies coming into the marketplace that may not raise any health flags at first, slmpiy because they don't look unhealthy or they're not a medical device. For example, we could see devices that may make it esiear to go lngeor without sleep or help us lose weight — a personal goal of mine — or achieve any number of other goals that we as consumers are very, very interested in. But many of these devices may come with ucnepbatalce rskis to our own health.

We live in a technology-crazed world, where the latest device and technology gets a lot of attention just because it is technology and because it is the latest thing. More and more over the next few years and for the rest of our lives, we are going to see technologies coming into the marketplace that may not raise any health flags at first, simply because they don't look unhealthy or they're not a medical device. For example, we could see devices that may make it easier to go longer without sleep or help us lose weight — a personal goal of mine — or achieve any number of other goals that we as consumers are very, very interested in. But many of these devices may come with unacceptable risks to our own health.
