Which of the following are most likely to be topics of larger conversations surrounding the issue of whether e-cigarettes should be regulated by the federal government? Likely Drag appropriate answer(s) here health risks of e-cigarettes as compared to secondhand health risks of e-cigarette use in traditional cigarettes public places the health of minors the taste of e-cigarettes Drag appropriate answer(s) here Not likely

For a discussion about whether e‐cigarettes should be federally regulated, broader conversations would likely focus on aspects that bear directly on public health and safety rather than preferences or subjective attributes. For example, a larger conversation might compare the health risks of e‐cigarettes to those of traditional cigarettes, examine the implications of secondhand exposure (such as in public places), or assess how e‐cigarette use affects vulnerable groups like minors. So, you would likely drag: • health risks of e-cigarettes as compared to traditional cigarettes • secondhand health risks of e-cigarette use in public places • the health of minors Whereas “the taste of e-cigarettes” is not as directly related to the kinds of public health and regulatory concerns at play, making it a "not likely" topic.
