Cigarettes, E-Cigarettes

Many of the societal factors that affect to the mental and physical health of Native Americans include, education, economic development and acculturation. It is estimated per the documentary, “The Canary Effect,” the Native population was 12 – 15 Million, but the 1880’s, that number was decreased to 250,000.00. Among the causes that contributed to the decimation of their population were killing or moving of tribes for westward expansion of new settlers and diseases like small pox’s, which decimated almost 50% of the population of some tribes.

1) It's no lie that vaping or e-cig use is on the rise. How concerned do you feel we should be on the lack of knowledge on long term effects? Explain your answer.

Except for a couple patents back around the 1960s, Vapes or electronic cigarettes didn’t come out for sale until the past few years. They first appeared in China in 2004 and spread to other areas including Europe in 2006 and then the United States the following year. These electronic cigarettes have spread all over the United States in shops and stores. Many US teens, despite age, have been interested in the vaping trend because of their “so-called” safe nature and harmless effects.

Even though other leading tobacco companies, like Altria and Reynolds American, are strong competition for Lorillard, in the electronic cigarettes market, Lorillard continues to dominate. The question becomes, is the decision by Lorillard to expand its e-cigarettes business the correct action to be taking at this time? We will now take a look at three indicators that may put the potential upside of e-cigarettes business in perspective for Lorillard.

Although they might be slightly more effective than nicotine patches and other aids in helping people quit smoking, electronic cigarettes still stand as a gateway to nicotine addiction. A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests more children and teens from middle school to high school are trying these new devices. About 1.8 million children admitted puffing on an e-cigarette with 160,000 of them doing so with never having tried an ordinary cigarette before. These implications mean electronic cigarettes have been getting a lot of attention lately from the community. The CDC indicates this trend as a serious concern.

Electronic cigarette becoming increasingly popular, a study of CDC (2016) shows that people who are using Vape or electronic cigarette is increasing and labeled as the best alternative. But according to Austin Perl mutter, e-cigarette can be harmful because it has nicotine. How this nicotine absorb from the body? When e-cigarette are loaded with a vaporizable liquid and when these compound heated, there is a real danger because when the liquid heated, the liquid vaporizes and then the chemicals inside the fluid undergo a breakdown process and are converted into other chemicals; and these chemicals may be the cause of cancer

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.,

With many decades worth of health data now available, it has never been clearer that smoking is one of the most dangerous habits a person can engage in. It is no wonder, then, that so many smokers are committed to quitting and improving their health.

Debate, continues in our society on, whether or not certain foods, fads, and devices help us make healthier choices. Many individuals tend, to follow any new trend that says it “will make you live longer” or that “it is better for you.” The only ways to ensure whether these trends are true or not is through the use of scientific research.

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.

The authors start off her article by an introduction which says usage of e-cigarettes are rapidly increasing, and impacts of them on youth is unknown. They go on with explaining the survey that she and a group of professors did between the years 2011,2012, and 2013. The authors state that, they have asked two questions from youth that either they have intention to smoke cigarettes or not. Article mentions the results of the analysis which shows more than forty percent of youths who used e-cigarettes have intention to smoke conventional cigarettes. The conclude this portion of the research, the authors write that youths who smoked e-cigarettes are most likely to smoke conventional cigarettes in the future. Article resumes with the fact that

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.”

Finally, an additional vital feature of Japanese Buddhism is the act of ridding away from the Self. Individualism and self-identity is the only thing people have to not be categorized into their cultures. Of course, in Buddhism, the way to end one’s suffering is by being detached from the Self. The concept is a stage to reach ultimate consciousness in Buddhism, nevertheless one could wonder how determined the Japanese population is because of the percentage that do not in actuality, identify with Buddhism. In the book, Inner Peace, World Peace: Essays on Buddhism and Nonviolence, Sulak Sivaraksa’s chapter, “Buddhism and Contemporary International Trends,” discusses the fact, “one of the largest obstacles to the implementation of religious principles

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.
