As smokers are finding a better alternative for tobacco cigarettes, electronic cigarettes are drastically increasing in popularity. As the popularity in e-cigarettes rises, so are the uncertainties the e-cigarette has on public health. While e-cigarettes, also known as vapes, are likely to be safer than tobacco cigarettes, the long term health effects are unknown at this moment. Scientists have been conducting studies in order to catch up with the e-cigarettes rise in popularity, but it is not clear yet whether it will result in end of smoking sensation or become a temporary setback towards the goal of quitting the need for nicotine for good. Because e-cigarette products are relatively new, there has not been any solid findings on the negative

Youth in Hawaii have been introduced to new technology involving electronic machines which contain nicotine using artificial liquids. The electronic cigarette has been a growing trend by creating lots of smoke by inhaling the burnt liquid. The target audience of adults who want to find an alternative use for smoking has been abused by teenagers across Hawaii. A poll relating to the use of electronic cigarettes said, 25 percent of high school students between 9th and 10th grade has used an electronic cigarette at least once. 18 percent of high schoolers use electronic cigarettes regularly. Teens who try vaping had used the trend as a gateway to cigarettes and other nicotine products in the future.
Since then, the popularity of these devices has exponentially increased (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015) as their ability to deliver nicotine in the form of heated vapour rapidly gained them the debatable reputation of being safer than conventional cigarettes (Sanford & Goebel, 2014). Indeed, even if some of the motives for vaping include the possibility of cutting costs and the opportunity of identification that the practice offers (Ayers et al., 2011), the primary reason to start vaping seems to be functional and related to the search for a healthier lifestyle (Blue et al., 2016; Pearson et al., 2012). For this reason, the majority of “those who practice, deliberate, create and introduce vaping behaviours” (Yule & Tinson, 2016, p.1) seems to be either smokers trying to quit or former smokers (Grana & Ling, 2014). Moreover, the use of e-cigarettes seems to be indicated by demographic factors such as age, ethnicity and social class (Pearson et al., 2012). Adolescents are main users (Yule & Tinson, 2016), and, in the United States, white educated male smokers and white female smokers of lower socioeconomic status may have more chances to start using vaping devices (Regan et al.,
The study involved students in Grades 9 to 12 in several schools in Ontario and Alberta. Based on the results of the said study, “students who used e-cigarettes within 30 days before the start of the study were more likely to have started and still be smoking regular cigarettes a year later.”
By coincidence, a study tracking more than 2,500 students at 10 Los Angeles schools who had never smoked tobacco, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, came to the opposite conclusion. It said ninth graders who had tried e-cigarettes were far more likely than other students to start smoking “combustible tobacco” (cigarettes, cigars, hookahs) within a year.
although the rate for teens smoking has dropped another concern is rising and that is e-cigarrette. by foxnews defination e-cigarettes are eollectronic battery-powered devices that contain vaporize nicotine but no tobacco.

Introduction Tobacco use throughout the United States has become an epidemic, not only among adults, but among adolescents as well. People do not realize the effects of tobacco or the consequence of using tobacco among the youth and adolescents. What are the leading factors of adolescents using tobacco?

Background information about teenagers smoking As teenagers start to smoke on a regular basis, there is a progression of negative effects. Some effects such as an addiction, a disease, and possibly a result of death could do serious harm to the body according to the Washington Post (Brady A.3). Currently, there is an estimation of about 3,300 teenagers who try smoking and 700 to 800 of those teens become addicted each day (A.3). There are various amounts of tobacco products that teenagers are attracted by, such as electronic cigarettes and cigars, which are currently uprising in the youth population. Electronic cigarettes have had a large increase between the years 2011-2012 (“Emerging Tobacco Products” …NP). The number of middle school students have been able to use the electronic devices went from 0.6% to 1.1% between the years 2011-2012. The percentage of high school students who use
The target population for this study is high school students in Missouri. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2016), electronic cigarettes are most popular among “young adolescents (11-14 years of age); adolescents (15-17 years of age); and/or young adults (18-25 years of age)”. By using a population of 9-12 graders, all respective populations were accounted for. The inclusion criteria for this study was limited to high school students who were enrolled in one of 20 selected high schools. Furthermore, this indicated that the sample population was limited to students ranging from 14-19 years of age. Additionally, all race demographics were included. As a result, data was collected cross-demographically and
Tobacco; one of the most profitable products in history, an addictive substance, and a deadly killer. Smoking tobacco used to be a thing that was endorsed in American society. Now, with the new medical advances and knowledge, society has seen the side effects of smoking and how fatal it actually is. Teenagers have been one of the largest age groups that have been affected by smoking. After analyzing all possible reasons as to why teenagers would smoke while knowing it can affect their health, three possible reasons stuck out the most. Teenagers smoke despite knowing the health problems that originate from smoking because of peer pressure, an “invincibility” mentality, and seeing a role model or family member smoke.
