In recent times, cigarettes and tobacco products have been on the decline. Their grip has diminished to the extent that indoor smoking is not allowed in most public places any more. When comparing this to the early twentieth century, where smoking was the norm, large leaps have been made to prohibit the influence of tobacco. However, a new smoking device is on the horizon. E-cigarettes, also known as vaping, is gaining huge traction, especially amongst the youth. This could destroy much of the progress that has been made, as it is deemed acceptable by many because it is labeled as less dangerous. While E-cigs contains far less toxins and harmful chemicals than traditional tobacco cigarettes, they are far from safe. In today’s world just about …show more content…
Youths generally know that tobacco is bad, they have been taught their entire life that smoking is harmful. However, E-cigarettes are promoted as safe and different from tobacco. E-cigarettes contain water vaper amongst several other chemicals rather than Tobacco leaves. Additionally, E-cigarettes can come with many different flavors and designs; These kinds of advocations have been very affective amongst the youth. Danny McGoldrick from the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids believes that "[the] biggest concern is safety, and the potential appeal to kids given the flavors and the gadgetry factor,” (Hahn). Youth are drawn to E-cigarettes and it could pose an issue, it could mean the revival of smoking. E-cigarettes also don’t have as many restrictions put on them as tobacco products. Youth can potentially just go online or to the mall to buy e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes also have the capability to undermine all the progress that has been made against Tobacco products. E-cigarettes are not nearly as bad for people as Tobacco is, but it is still dangerous. If more and more Youth go down the path to E-cigarette smoking, then all the effort to fight smoking may have been in

E-Cigs and Secondhand Vaping may not seem harmless but it is just as dangerous as smoking an actual cigarette because of the nicotine that is in the juice and it also when smoked indoors makes the air quality worse. They are not regulated in the US because they are not considered tobacco but that may change. Other states and cities have already put restrictions on e-cigs. Studies have shown that e-cigs may contribute to heart disease and they deliver their own toxins such as formaldehyde, nitrosamines, and lead. Though the toxicant levels of e-cigs may be “9–450 times lower than in cigarette smoke,” as this study suggests, levels of formaldehyde and metals have been found to be comparable to or higher than those found in conventional cigarettes.
At the beginning of Animal Farm all of the animals are equal and must follow the same rules together. As this book goes on the pigs end up separating themselves from the other animals and become more human-like in numerous ways. As the pigs evolve, they start to adopt the same characteristics the humans have such as being very selfish, dishonest, and having no loyalty. At the beginning of the story Mr. Jones was very selfish towards the animals.
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)
It wasn't long ago that there were still a few people that didn't know what electronic cigarettes were. It suddenly seemed as if overnight, people found out what electronic cigarettes were and if they were smokers, they quickly started buying them up after they got over their initial hesitations.
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
Every year, an estimated 443, 000 Americans die of smoking related illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC also states “the leading cause of preventable death” is smoking. ("Smoking & Tobacco Use-Fast Facts”). Relatively new to the market are electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes. “Vaping”, as it is known by users, has become increasingly more attractive as an alternative to traditional, cancer causing, cigarettes. Although sales of e-cigarettes are estimated to reach $2 billion dollars (Dennis, Brady) this year, many Americans still have reservations about the safety of a new nicotine delivery system.
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.
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
These cigarettes are battery-operated devices that combine nicotine and other chemicals into a vapor meant to be inhaled by those that are using it. The cartridges inside can curb the taste and smell of regular cigarettes by combining the nicotine and chemicals with flavoring to make them more appealing. However, the FDA is cautious about how the devices, and their safety, appear to the public eye. Although many market the device to be a healthier way to smoke, the products may contain ingredients that can are toxic. Advertisement of e-cigarettes towards the younger generation may lead kids to want to try other forms of tobacco which have been proven to lead to disease and death. E-cigarettes can also come in different flavors that may be appealing to a younger audience, such as strawberry, and chocolate. These devices can also give way to nicotine addiction. The biggest concern is the unknown. Typically, clinical studies were not submitted to the FDA showing the efficacy and safety of the devices. Without this information, the consumer does not know what dose of nicotine in combination with the types of concentration of chemicals they are inhaling or whether the device itself is safe to use. E-cigarettes also do not have any comparable health warnings to replacement products for nicotine or traditional cigarettes that are FDA- approved. Lab analysis obtained by the FDA compared cartridges from two brands of e-cigarettes and found known carcinogens and toxic chemicals that can be found in
Everyone should know that smoking cigarettes is a bad habit and is dangerous for the user's health. Yet, these cancer causing, teeth yellowing, bad breath causing cigarettes are still being smoked everyday by people all over the world. It used to be seen as cool to smoke and it seemed like everyone did it. Like a fashion fad, smoking cigarettes soon became out of style. People still smoke, but not as much as they used to. In 2003 electronic cigarettes were first introduced the United States as a safer alternative, making smoking or vaping, as its called now, a cool fad again. Smoking had been at an all time low until recently when alternatives to traditional smoking such electronic cigarettes or hookah have become popular especially among the younger generation(Rifkin para. 2). Many smokers are now using electronic cigarettes over traditional
E-cigarettes have exploded onto the scene in the past three years. Whole stores dedicated to these devices have opened their doors to the public and business is thriving. E-cigarettes are battery-charged devices that have an atomizer, or heating element, in them to vaporize liquid nicotine. The user is able to inhale this vapor and get the nicotine without the other 4,000 chemicals present in tobacco cigarette smoke (Schroeder). Nicotine is a chemical that is produced by the tobacco plant. People have discovered that by smoking the leaves of a tobacco plant the nicotine in the leaves is delivered into the bloodstream. Nicotine by itself is not an awful drug as far as drugs go, although it is highly addictive, it is the tar in cigarettes that does so much damage. Tobacco use remains the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S. with 480,000 Americans dying prematurely from tobacco related disease. Kicking this habit remains difficult for most (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Mark Twain once wrote “It’s easy to quit smoking, I’ve done it hundreds of times.”
The popularity of e-cigarettes and vapes has grown exponentially within the last couple of years. These two alternatives offer a “safe” way to consume nicotine or just a substitute to regular cigarette smoking. These products omit water vapor instead of tobacco smoke, constructing it as less of a health risk. Nicotine can be added to the mixture to help quit smoking or offer a healthier option to those with nicotine dependence. There has not been widespread research on conventional e-cigarettes, in addition to data on vapes been relatively premature. These smoking devices have not be regulated by the FDA yet, but the FDA has looked into e-cigarettes and its contents (FDA, 2015). Many e-cigarettes that are thought to be free of nicotine, have
In the United States, the usage of cigarettes is slowly declining, making way for alternative forms of tobacco and nicotine sources to become popular. In the past decade, one of these cigarette alternatives has become very popular, even widely among teens, and it’s referred to as “vaping”. Vaping is the use of electronic cigarettes that replace burning paper and tobacco with flavored steam, which usually has nicotine in it (Kriegel). Since vaping hasn’t been around very long and hasn’t become popular until recently, not much is known about the effects or how harmful it could be long term. One source says, “There's also a widespread belief that e-cigarettes are safe, or at least safer than conventional tobacco products. But several studies have suggested this may not be the case,” (Fox). Although there is a very strong debate on whether e-cigarettes are a safe alternative for cigarettes, there are too many risk factors involved due to conflicting information and studies, for vaping to be deemed safe.
E-cigarette is believed to greatly reduce on the health effects associated with tobacco smoking. However, e-cigarette has been criticized as a leading cause of smoking among the youth due to its flavor as well as its novel appearance and campaigns. It is also believed to pose some health risks. Despite such drawbacks, e-cigarette has recently gained a lot of popularity and subsequent growth.
