But this ban does not cover the internet where up to half of the total quantity of e-cigarettes sold are purchased the authors point out.
but no large advertising budget is required to achieve a web presence they Add in the USA alone the e-cigarette market is projected to reach US$2 billion this year.
The number of e-cigarette brands sold on the internet is large and the variety of flavours staggering write the researchers.
The survey published in a June 16 special supplement of the journal Tobacco Control found that 10 new e-cigarette brands entered the Internet marketplace every month on average from 2012 to 2014

In 2010 the tobacco industry spent $236 million in cigarette coupons and $22 million in Internet marketing.
Some of this Internet marketing infiltrates social media which is consumed widely by teens and young adults.
Since younger consumers are more price sensitive to the high cost of tobacco products a web ad offering a coupon could be perceived very favorably.
Each participant completed both a phone-based and a web-based survey. The youths received $10 for the phone survey and additional $10 or $25 for completion of the web based survey.
Overall 12 percent of 15-to-17-year olds and 26 percent of 18-to-23-year olds were exposed to either form of direct-to-consumer tobacco marketing coupons received via US mail
These one-millimetre-long spiders build tiny webs that they suspend between dead leaves on the forest floor.
What they weren't prepared for was that the webs turned out to be the work of an unknown species as spider specialist Jeremy Miller an instructor on the course quickly confirmed.

and the hidden nature of their webs which are built in palmetto shrubs. Red widows conceal their funnel-shaped retreats in unopened palmetto leaves making them difficult to spot.
and in May 2003--have enough webs been located to study the dietary habits of these elusive spiders.
Sometimes beetles hit the web strands between tips of palmetto fronds and tumble into the denser tangle of threads below catching them in the red widows'webs.
Carrel has monitored red widow spider populations at the Station since 1987 but has found enough webs to study red widows'dietary habits only twice.
During both time periods Carrel worked alongside Deyrup to collect and identify prey from spiders'webs.

and pollutantsspider webs actively spring towards prey thanks to electrically-conductive glue spread across their surface Oxford university scientists have discovered.
They also showed that the glue spirals can distort Earth's electric field within a few millimetres of the web
which may enable insects to spot the webs with their antennae'e-sensors'.'The study published in Naturwissenschaften shows how a quirk of physics causes webs to move towards all airborne objects regardless of
whether they are positively or negatively charged. This explains how webs are able to collect small airborne particles so efficiently and why they spring towards insects.
According to the researchers common garden spider webs around the world could be used for environmental monitoring as they actively filter airborne pollutants with an efficiency comparable to expensive industrial sensors.'
'The elegant physics of these webs make them perfect active filters of airborne pollutants including aerosols
and pesticides'said Professor Fritz Vollrath of Oxford university's Department of Zoology who led the study.'
'Electrical attraction drags these particles to the webs so you could harvest and test webs to monitor pollution levels--for example to check for pesticides that might be harming bee populations.'
'Even more fascinating you would be able to detect some airborne chemicals just by looking at the shape of the webs!
Many spiders recycle their webs by eating them and would include any particles and chemicals that are drawn electrically to the web.
We already know that spiders spin different webs when on different drugs for example creating beautiful webs on LSD and terrible webs on caffeine.
As a result the web shapes alone can tell us if any airborne chemicals affect the animal's behaviour.'
'Working with Dr Donald Edmonds from Oxford university's Department of physics Professor Vollrath showed that webs like that of the garden cross spider also cause local distortions in Earth's electric field
since they behave like conducting discs. Many insects are able to detect small electrical disturbances including bees that can sense the electric fields of different flowers and other bees.'
'Pretty much all flying insects should be capable of sensing electrical disturbances'said Professor Vollrath.''Their antennae act as'e-sensors
'when the tips are connected to the body by insulating materials meaning the charge at the tip will be different from the rest of the insect.
whether they might also use them to avoid webs and thus becoming dinner.''Electrical disturbances caused by spider webs are ranged extremely short so it is not yet clear
whether insects would be able to sense them before the web snaps out to grab them.
