Electronic Cigarettes Case Study

Jennifer jean a Registered nurse that has experienced the effects of traditional cigarettes especially on some of her older patients, believes that the electronic cigarettes will eventually end up being like the traditional cigarettes. The traditional cigarettes were once believed to be one hundred percent safe until they did research and investigation and then and all the different health issues began to arise in the smokers.There will soon be ads against the use of the electronic cigarettes just they what they currently have to haalt traditional cigarette smoking.

The profitable business of electronic cigarettes has raised over $3 Billion dollars annually, vastly spread across over 466 brands which have joined the ordeal. Above all, known as a “gateway drug”, electronic cigarettes have claimed the once-ordinary lives of people, specifically to those who have turned from tobacco cigarettes. What is more, scientists have determined that not enough research has been executed to automatically assume the healthiness of e-cigarettes. Despite this, many have claimed that e-cigarettes, are, and will be the new “healthy” drug, so to speak. Provided that e-cigarettes do not release harmful smoke, they are still not safe for one’s health given that not enough research has been performed on them.

Most of these e-cigs are being advertised to teens along with other tobacco products. This ensures a long lasting profit between the teens and the adult population. In the minds of business CEO’s and the marketing managers;

Electronic cigarette products do contain nicotine, although the health effects are negligent in line with the rest of common tobacco products. Tobacco products are those in line with cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and pipe tobacco. A News Medical article regards nicotine just as it is derived from the plant it comes from, "Nicotine is a chemical compound that is present in tobacco" (Anaya). Nicotine, being derived from the tobacco plant, may well close the case regarding whether or not it deserves the title as a 'tobacco product'. The stigma regarding a tobacco product revolves not only around the presence of nicotine but also of tobacco products being the cause of death to one-third of users. The sticky stigma of a

During my teenage years, I was dared to try a cigarette, not thinking I was going to get addicted. However, I did and before I knew it I became a smoker. At first, it was just recreational, but that changed quickly. I began buying cigarettes and smoking regularly throughout the day. It progressed to smoking a pack per week. I knew it was a terrible habit and I was ashamed of it. The hardest part was hiding it from friends and family hoping they would not find out. I came to the realization that I had to quit. It was not as easy as I had anticipated it to be. A friend of mine named Issack showed me this new thing he was trying called vaping.He was a smoker too but he stopped smoking cigarettes and started vaping.Vaping is the same thing as smoking electronic cigarettes. I believe there are many misconceptions about electronic cigarettes that leads many to believe it bad for you but that 's not the case. Electronic cigarettes can help you quite,save money, and even help with your health.

About 42 million Americans smoke spirits smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States and the health benefits from stop smoking outweigh other smoking interventions. Existing smoking cessation programs have high failure rates if no nicotine replacement is being used, however, smokers who use nicotine replacement therapy or more likely to stop smoking than those without. So that brings us to electronic cigarettes a new growing trend which may prove to be an alternative to current replacement therapy products. In the United States electronic cigarettes are being advertised as a safe alternative to tobacco products, even though they are not currently regulated by the FDA. Although, electronic cigarettes have not been proven as a viable alternative to other smoking cessation products, there is evidence people are using them for nicotine replacement therapy. It is estimated that e- cigarettes have become more prolific than any other traditional NRT product. The goal of this research paper is to look at:

Four hundred years ago, tobacco was the first money-making crop in North America. Pipes and cigars were in demand and they are still on the market today, but it is not as popular as back in 1600. In 1800, cigarettes became popular up to this day. Cigarettes come in different brands, flavors, and strength of nicotine. Health organizations across the globe have fought many battles against cigarette smoking due to health risks. Nicotine patches, nicotine pills, and nicotine gums are just a few of the alternatives that doctors prescribe to smokers to help prevent the urge of smoking. However, more people are finding electronic cigarettes (e-cig) more comforting, helpful, and because it is a trend, many non-smokers started using e-cig. E-cig is a handheld battery operated device that vapors liquid that is composed of propylene glycol, glycerin, nicotine, and flavorings. A person who uses e-cig is usually called “vaper”. Despite the high increase of the number of e-cig vapers, the safety and efficacy remain unclear.

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.,

Lastly, the rise of E-cigarettes may lead to Big Tobacco companies gaining larger influence and a new strong market. Big Tobacco companies are beginning to invest in E-cigarettes and since they are larger and wealthier than many smaller companies who deal E-cigarette products, they might have the ability to strongarm them into submission. Once Big Tobacco companies take control of the market they would once more have a foothold over society. Big tobacco companies should not be allowed to gain such strength since their market is in products which are toxic and ruinous to people.

Cigarette has been an essential stress-relieving tool to many people, even with the health risks and environmental damages cigarette have. In the past three years, electronic cigarette has been taking over on cigarette. Altria (Tobacco producing company) and BluCigs (Electronic Cigarette Company such as “Vapors”) have been in conflict about the health risks and environmental damages cigarette have caused to our planet. Despite the risks cigarette is causing. While the health risks in tobacco cannot be eliminated, Altria is working on reducing the health risks on their products by making it less harmful to smokers. Both companies agree and recognize the risks of smoking and do not encourage anyone to smoke or to discourage anyone from quitting.

NPs are in a unique position of having expertise regarding the health effects of nicotine, as well as personal connections with patients who have suffered the consequences of nicotine addiction or even accidental ingestions. Communicating these opinions and experiences to inform legislators of the need for e-cigarette health policy is critical. In today’s age of the internet, it is easier than ever to do this via email and/or social media. Legislators want to hear from their constituents, especially those who have more expertise in an area than they do. The ban of all sales to minors across the country, as well as the prohibition of e-cigarette use in public buildings, banning the production of candy and fruit flavored products and mandating childproof packaging are all necessary policies that should be advocated for by

Nicotine is a poisonous substance in tobacco that makes it difficult for people to stop smoking cigarettes. A good amount of youth today are starting to use this product based on advertisement or the pressure to fit in. For example, nicotine companies are making commercials, using social media and making candy versions of this product in order to attract attention especially from teens. Advertisements and new products are things that companies use to become popular. If teens try it and enjoy it he/she will keep doing it. That’s why tobacco companies are targeting the youth, to make them become addicted and this way they make money.

in the latter camp, suggesting that e- cigarettes -- which heat liquid containing nicotine to

To make matters worse, the tobacco companies are making millions from teen smokers. Tobacco companies use advertising to manipulate both teens and adults. They present images that are hard to shake, even when you know the truth. Have you ever seen a cigarette ad where people are wrinkled, middle-aged or coughing and in the hospital dying of lung cancer? Of course not! In most ads, smokers are shown the way that teens would like to be: attractive and hip, sophisticated and elegant, or rebellious.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), also known as vape pens, e-hookahs, are electronic nicotine delivery systems. They first made an appearance in the early 2000s and were invented by in China by the Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik (Grana et al. 2014). E-cigarette device is made of three parts, a battery, an atomizer with a heating element, and a cartridge containing nicotine and many times flavoring. The smoke or vapor that is produced by the e-cigarette is an aerosol and the liquids contain nicotine, water, a glycerol which serves as a diluent, and various flavorings with the most favorable being tobacco, and mint (Minaker et al. 2015). Vaping is the process of inhaling and exhaling the water vapor produced by the e-cigarettes (Grana et al. 2014). In the recent years e-cigarettes have become more popular since people are able to use them in public places. It is also has been proved and shown to be an effective way for smokers to quit their smoking habit. People that use e-cigarettes were able to control the amount of cigarettes smoked and reduce them. In addition people are able to control their addiction toward smoking (Polosa et al. 2013). E-cigarette is considered less harmful compared to conventional cigarettes and researchers refer to them as harm reduction tools. Furthermore, there are no negative side effects reported on the e-cigarette use and the electronic nicotine delivery systems.
