Argumentative Essay On E-Cigarettes

Everyone always wants to be with the latest trend, and as many celebrities and magazine ads have pictures of vaping, electronic cigarettes have become a "trend”. People are largely unaware of the emergency risks of vaping. According to a study by Mitch Zeller he states, “I can say definitely, that nicotine is harmful to a developing teenage brain. And no teenager, no young person. should be using any tobacco or nicotine-containing products”. Unlike true cigarettes, electronic cigarettes do not have

The e-cigarette format, however, does not eliminate concerns regarding public and individual health risks. The World Health Organization has called for e-cigarette usage to be monitored in the same way as more conventional tobacco products,(23) the US FDA is advocating for more research,(24) and there has been a dramatic increase in analyses of the chemical, physiological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects of e-cigarettes.(2-7,9-12,14-21,24-52)

Electronic cigarettes have become very popular in the last few years, which has led both young children and teens to begin using them. There have been various instances in which children, as young as toddlers, have gotten their hands on their parent's electronic cigarettes or e-juice, leading to an increase in calls to the emergency room. The increase was so great that, "over half of the 2,405 calls to poison centers between September 2010 and February 2014 concerned children 5 and under who have come into contact with e-cigarettes" (Are E-cigarettes Safer Than Regular Cigarettes?). The effects of electronic cigarettes so far have not been proven to show any significant damage on the health of adults; however, the effects on children and teens may be more dangerous than one would

A major issues we face today is how un-informed people are on the vaping world also known as e-cigarettes. For that I have chosen an article called America’s vaping revolution: How suspicious should we really be of the e-cigarette craze by Noah Charney posted on Sunday, Dec 7th, 2014. This article is about what e-cigarettes are, where they came from and their uses and effects that they can cause. I’m choosing this article because vaping (smoking E-cigarettes) is something that not a lot of people understand. Some people believe it is bad for you and that it won’t help stop smoking and that it can still cause health issues. Other things include the cost; some say it cost less than cigarettes and should e-cigs not be allowed in certain places. Most people are not informed about vaping on if it’s truly harmful or not they just assume it’s the same as smoking a cigarettes and that’s all it is but over the years it has changed a lot.

In the past decade e-cigarettes industry has been growing quite rapidly. E-cigarettes were first created as a better alternative to the conventional tobacco cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. However, in todays society they have become a very popular commodity. Likewise, they are mostly used for mere pleasure and not what its original purpose was. Originally the sole purpose of e-cigarettes was to help wean their users off of the unhealthy drugs we all know as the conventional tobacco cigarettes (Dockrell, 1). But are they really the healthier alternative? Absolutely not. E-cigarettes are extremely unhealthy, used as a gate-way substitute, and also affect others who aren’t even directly using it!

An electronic cigarette, or E-cigarette, is a new form of tobacco product that is increasing in its popularity; it allows one to inhale a vapor in the same way one would smoke a traditional cigarette ("E-cigarettes and Lung Health"). Some people believe that E-cigarettes are better than cigarettes for various reasons, and this belief may be true. These claims do not mean, however, that E-cigs should be welcomed with open arms because of the risks still involved in them. E-cigarettes are dangerous, like tobacco, and their risks should be evaluated being that they are not a good choice for anyone. They should not be made accessible to teens because of the many dangers one can see just with a quick glimpse into E -Cigs. The first red flag one

Today the biggest question is, “Are they harmful?” Electronic Cigarettes are being tested and thoroughly examined to identify the helpful and hazardous effects they may have. Most importantly, they are being compared to traditional cigarettes to determine whether or not they are a safe alternative for smokers. According to the Food and Drug Administration, there are trace amounts of toxic and carcinogenic ingredients found in several cartridge samples of e-cigarettes. The FDA tried to regulate them as drug delivery devices; however, a federal judge ruled in 2010 that it lacked such authority, so the FDA is currently moving to regulate them as tobacco products (Feldman, 2014).

Schools around the world, including Freeburg Community High School, have had to install nicotine detectors to catch those who sneak in Vapes or Juuls, e-cigarettes, into school bathrooms and classrooms. “E-cigarettes are devices that heat a liquid into an aerosol that the user inhales. The liquid usually has nicotine and flavoring in it, and other additives. The nicotine in e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes is addictive. E-cigarettes are considered tobacco products because most of them contain nicotine, which comes from tobacco,” (Know the Risks: E-Cigarettes & Young People). E-cigarettes are just as harmful as regular cigarettes and should not be sold.

Lately, vaping has come to be common these day and few minor businesses have advanced due to the increase in demand for electronic cigarette (Nicotine & Tobacco Research, 2015). Even though the term safe doesn’t exist. Electronic cigarette contains low risk compared to regular cigarettes.

Recent discoveries from a research team based in Athens unveiled that the health effects of smoking an e-cigarette for 30 minutes is approximately equivalent to smoking a regular cigarette for 5 minutes. Additionally, the e-cigarettes were found to cause heart stiffening; which can potentially result in cardiovascular diseases. Though one may argue that the damage is still minimal for e-cigarettes as opposed to traditional tobacco products, at the end of the day, long term usage will result in similar chronic diseases. When often overlooked to be risk free, e-cigarettes still underlie multiple detrimental health effects. Perhaps the most concerning part of the situation would still be the teens. The problem

Research has proven that “Electronic cigarettes-use of which is spreading, particularly among youngsters contain carcinogens, sometimes at higher levels than those found in conventional cigarettes” (Yoneyama 1). Since the invention of the e-cigarette in 2003, the use of this new device has increased dramatically with our adults and shockingly even with our youth. In our era today, many of our youth have found that the use of e-cigarettes to be a safe alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes and lack the proper research. Despite the new expansion of e-cigarettes to society, the low amount of research conducted on this new trend should not justify it

The question should not be if e-cigarettes are bad or not, but if they are better for you than the alternative. Many people believe that since vaporizers have only been around for a little over ten years, people do not know what the long term effects from them will be. Cigarettes have thousands of chemicals in them, with at least seventy of them being carcinogens, while vaporizers do not create big enough quantities of carcinogens to pose a real threat (McDonald). E-cigarettes do have an impact of people’s health, but there is little evidence suggesting that they are not as bad as some individuals make them seem to be.

One reason why nobody should smoke E-Cigarettes is because they can ruin people's health and others body’s. The E-Cigarettes have some poison chemicals in the cigarettes such as nicotine. Nicotine is a very bad drug that can kill people and that causes a temporary increase in blood pressure, an increase in heart rate, and that narrows blood vessels and increases the strength of the heart's contraction. The chemicals in the E-Cigarettes can ruin the inside of people's body’s and can give many people cancer or many types of diseases. Another reason why people should stop smoking E-Cigarettes is because kids in high school are smoking E-Cigarettes because of the

Health experts are afraid about the electronic cigarettes. Health experts believe that vaping is not going to help you quit smoking. Some vapes have nicotine in it and some vapes don’t have it. If they have nicotine you can get hooked on it and you won’t stop. Everyday you will be craving it. Your body says you need more, so than your body wants more and more. Teens are the one how mostly vape. They want to act cool

Although, teenagers and young adults are aware that e-cigarettes and ATPs are simply alternatives to conventional cigarettes they do not seem to bother as much by it and thus, do not view it as being an actual tobacco product, but rather than as a harm reduction tool. This health issue affects everyone who is susceptible to smoking, however, adolescents and young adults are more susceptible to initiate such behaviors even without previously being smokers of conventional cigarettes due to various extraneous factors. According to CDC in 2016 more than 2 million US adolescents used e-cigarettes and ATPs.
