The advice given in the Goodman of Paris is practically polar oposites from the views of the wife of Bathe. The advice given to the little sister in the Goodman tales advises that the wife be completely dependent on the husband, following him anywhere he goes, catering to his every need, and being faithful. The wife of bathe has a completely different ideal, evidently as her first marrige was at a very young age

Over the past few years, much controversy has spread throughout the nation about electronic cigarettes. A common question asked is do electronic cigarettes really lead to habitual usage of conventional cigarettes, and my answer is all but certain. Over the past couple years as a high school student i have observed many people using these "e-cigs" as strictly a device to fit in, or so it seems. Most of these people i have seen use this electronic apparatus do not smoke actual cigarettes, but they use their electronic cigarettes for reasons like, "oh I just like the taste" or " I just like blowing smoke tricks inside." With this being said, the electronic cigarettes do contain the addictive ingredient nicotine, and in most circumstances, the nicotine dosage is extremely high. So with this amount of nicotine being consumed by teenagers, it seems inevitable that some of these people will start using actual cigarettes. Since conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products are regulated by the federal government, shouldn't electronic cigarettes be regulated as well since they have been recently put in the tobacco product category?
