Ad Analysis: Electronic Cigarettes

Chen, Bullen, & Dirks' article offers the unfortunate perspe ctive that the majority of research performed determining the benefits of electronic cigarette "vaping" is inconclusive at best. It addresses the fact that most of the opinions that are proposed are filled with bias, cultural experience, and opinion. Chen et al provide very detailed study descriptions. They expl ain the procedures, methods, measurements of ingredients used and frequency of e xposure. The article exhaustively offers data for the purpose of backing up the validity of their study.

E-cigarettes are beneficial for smokers and they can be used as alternatives for people who don’t want to quit smoking. Smokers can have same pleasure with less harm.

The second statement I agree with is that the popularity of electronic cigarettes is growing faster than our ability to clearly understand its effects. Many traditional smokers went to e-cigarettes for a variety of reasons: the smell/oder, health consequences, healthcare costs, restrictions as to when and were a user can smoke, the differences in expenses, and smokers were informed that electronic cigarettes were safer regarding the health of themselves and others. Butane is no longer a neccessity when lighting up and smokers do not have to worry about a hot cherry that can burn themselves, other people, or things. Hence, the risk of fire hazzards will decrease with the use of electronic cigarettes; which is the most beneficial aspect pertaining to smoking because cigarettes are the number one cause of fire-related death in the United States and seven other countries.

This report was written for the Ministry of Health to analyse the pros and cons of Electronic cigarette and Vaping. Reproducing the experience of smoking with a device which contains a heater that vaporizes liquid nicotine instead of burning tobacco is known as an electronic cigarette (Public Health England, 2015). Electronic cigarette and vaping are the current trend around the globe due to the widespread believe that it is an alternative for nicotine users.

As a matter of fact, I recall someone asked this question at the end of the presentation to where Dr. Greene responded with something along the lines of that they cannot conclusively say whether E-cigarettes are better for you over normal cigarettes or that they are worse. However, what Dr. Greene did mention is that E-cigarettes contain nicotine as well as other additives such as lead. As a result, he hypothesized that E-cigarettes can be just as bad as normal cigarettes. As of right now, there is no indisputable evidence that rejects nor fails to reject that

Smoking traditional cigarettes causes various adverse health effects; however, the causes of smoking electronic cigarettes remains unknown. The proposal presents a study that will measure fundamental frequency. Approximately eighty University of Central Florida students who are non-smokers, ages 18 to 24 years old, will smoke an electronic cigarette. Each student will be measured on fundamental frequency before and after an electronic cigarette smoking session. It is predicated that a non-smokers’ use of an electronic cigarette will immediately produce a reduction in fundamental frequency, which may serve as a precursor to signal future medical pathologies similar to that of traditional cigarettes. The comparisons of pre- versus post-smoke sessions for vocal fold vibration will be analyzed based on the fundamental frequency scoring. The demographic variable, gender, may also impact fundamental frequency results, and will too be analyzed. The proposal provides an overview of the literature and specific methodological strategies for implementing the research. Expected outcomes and future research will be discussed.

A central idea of this reading is about whether E-cigarettes are safe or not. One important detail is pharmacologists play a key role in testing the E-cigarettes. In the article, it stated that seven different e-cigarettes were tested and chemicals that could cause cancer were found. Their role is to test them and make sure the products are safe. The FDA made it clear that the ingredients in the e-cigarettes are found in actual cigarettes. To answer the question whether they are found safe or unsafe, it’s clear they are unsafe. In conclusion, the pharmacologist's position is to do the testing which pays off and lets the FDA know the results about the

The Anti-smoking ad has a set of brown leaves formed as a lung, holding the leaves is a tree stem. In the ad under the leaves you see a person's hand with a lighter. As he has the lighter flicked the leaves are beginning to burn. At the bottom right it says “Your lungs are more sensitive than you think. Stop Smoking” in a white small font. Under that it has the campaign’s name which is “Casa De Euipedes”. The second Ad, Anti-Racism, has a gray background. There is an African American man with a black tank top on. In front of his mouth is a google bar with “black men are” typed into it with a small black font. In the drop box it has racial results that say “black men are failures, losers, a disgrace, and are disrespectful”. The middle of the

It is known the fact that habit is quite a strong phenomenon in human life. There are many habits that are quite easy to get, it can be done even accidentally. However, it can be difficult to break a habit. As far as breaking the habit can be quite difficult, it is common practice to try not to destroy the habit at all but change it in some more positive way. Nowadays people see such positive way in e-cigarettes as alternatives to the traditional tobacco cigarettes. A popularity of e-cigarettes and their widespread image as a harmless alternative to the traditional tobacco cigarettes could be the reason why there is quite a high number of studies which consider the harmfulness of the e-cigarettes. However, even though the studies showed that

It is not disputed that smoking is harmful to the lungs, but it is commonly claimed that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful if not at all. E-cigarettes are often said to prevent second-hand smoke, the possibly addicting smoke released from burning tobacco products, contains less carcinogens, and are less expensive than traditional cigarettes (11).

Should E-cigarettes be as harshly regulated as cigarettes? This is a question that has arisen since the invention of the E-cigarette, or more commonly known as the “vape.” The E-cigarette was invented in 2003 by Herbert A. Guilbert, but they really gained popularity around 2015. Because this is a fairly new invention, we don’t know many side effects, but overall, they seem to be less harmful to your body than cigarettes. Some believe that E-cigarettes are a gateway to smoking, while others believe they help smokers quit smoking. This pressing topic of conversation is a widely debated subject at the moment.

This section contains a summary of the article “Vaping is better than smoking”. In his introduction, Munafo says that smoking is the main cause of ill health and premature death. He observes that even though tobaccos are restricted from advertising to young people, the tobacco-marketing activities continue to influence youth to start smoking and continue smoking.

Tobacco has become one of the many health concerns in the United States. Health Literacy states “Native Americans smoked tobacco through a pipe for special religious and medical purposes.” This demonstrates that tobacco has been a thing for some time now (History of Tobacco). During the time the Native Americans had tobacco plants we now have e-cigarettes. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that e-cigarettes are “battery-operated devices that people use to inhale an aerosol, which typically contains nicotine (though not always)” (NIDA). Also, National Institute on Drug Abuse informs that “Research so far suggests that e-cigarettes are less harmful than cigarettes when people who regularly smoke switch to them as a complete replacement…” (NIDA). This shows that Regulating e-cigarettes should not be allowed in America because they do not contain all the deadly components that tobacco contains, they are less expensive than regular cigarettes and they help with breaking their addiction with tobacco related products.

Smoking has become a usual thing in our culture of recent. A person with a cigarette, E-Cigarette, Hookahs and Weed Cigarettes has become the norm in our society: we can see them on the streets, actors smoke in movies, there are also book characters who smoke, we have relatives, friends or someone we look up to who smoke. Starting as mainly as a part of a religious ritual a long time ago, smoking has become a routine thing for us in recent times, not giving thoughts to the many effects of smoking on the smokers. This research is aimed on bringing knowledge on some of these effects.
