Health Benefits Of Smoking Electronic Cigarettes

Vaping: “inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device.” In recent years, many people, even teens, have started using vapes. The numbers of people vaping have skyrocketed since 2011. Many people argue against the fact that vaping is bad, but knowing all of the factors to it may help in saving one’s life. Vaping is an important issue to discuss because day by day, more people are becoming a part of this "trend," and it may restrain one's health causing a negative outcome in their future. Vaping is bad because it has negative effects on one's body. Another reason it is bad is because many teens have started to do it, and they are numb to the consequences that may come. Although vaping is predicted as being healthier than cigarettes, research shows

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.

The use of e-cigarettes has been growing substantially in recent years as a much safer and healthier alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes is also known as vaping since e-cigarettes work by using water vapor instead of smoke, and they closely emulate the look and feel of smoking without the harmful health effects of tobacco smoke. While many people enjoy the benefits of vaping, there are several myths about vaping that have sprung up recently that are simply not true.

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.

Vaping is a healthier alternative to smoking, though by no means is it good for you. Though you can’t argue with the fact that vaping is better for your health than smoking traditional cigarettes. I will agree on the fact that the nicotine warnings should be placed on all bottles of vape juice and things alike that contain nicotine. This was approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Also, I agree that advertising of devices or products that deal with vapes and e-cigs should be prohibited. Vaping should be for the use of breaking traditional cigarette smoking habits and not displayed to our youth so openly.

Although E-cigarettes, also known as electronic cigarettes, are generally bad for your health, they do have some beneficial uses. The biggest benefit would helping people stop smoking regular tobacco cigarettes. Although e-cigs aren't harmless, they do offer a safer, and healthier alternative to regular tobacco cigarettes. In fact, Webmd states, “people who wanted to quit smoking were 60% more likely to succeed if they used an e-cigarette to would be quitters who used anti-smoke nicotine patches or gum.” This

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!

Smoking tobacco is probably one of the worst habits humankind has developed. Originating as a tradition of the Native Americans, practiced mostly on special occasions, smoking has gradually become a kind of mass addiction. Due to the efforts of tobacco companies seeking to increase their sales, people started smoking more and more often; the evolution of a more traditional pipe to a cigarette took some time, but eventually tobacco became more affordable and easier to use (you now simply need to light it up, instead of having to always carry a tobacco pouch, stuff a pipe, puff it, and so on). As a result, deaths and health issues connected to tobacco consumption became a worldwide

We now live in a digital world where everything we use must be battery operated. Our paper and pencils have taken a back seat for Microsoft word. As must everything evolve, cigarettes have taken the next leap of evolution and gone digital. Electronic cigarettes have begun to flood the market with statics of 2 million users and 2.5 billion dollars in profits. Right now a lot is unknown about these devices and there are no safety regulations. Those who oppose and support electronic cigarettes have different views, negatives and positives, of their use. Electronic cigarettes is a controversial issue due to not being safe, a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes, marketing toward teens, and an aid in helping smokers quit.

Electronic cigarettes allow users to inhale a vapor containing nicotine. The vapor that is produced it is not as harmful for the user. Traditional cigarettes have been proven to cause cancer and cause other various problems, and electronic cigarettes have not yet been linked to the same problems (EverSmoke para. 25). Many public spaces are now becoming smoke free, which means for those who use traditional cigarettes can not smoke there. Electronic cigarettes can be used almost anywhere because they produce vapor not smoke. Since electronic cigarettes do not produce smoke they do not expose others to secondhand emissions (American Lung para. 13) According to Nina Combs from Men’s Fitness, the Public Health England (PHE) has declared that electronic cigarettes are 95% less harmful than traditional cigarettes because they contain less harmful chemicals. These lead smokers to like electronic cigarettes because they appear that they are safer to use around other

Secondly, many other people switch to E-cigarettes because of the safety of users in their daily life. E-cigarettes are considerably fewer chemicals that do not contain any tar or carbon monoxide and contain diethylene glycol, a component of antifreeze that’s toxic to humans. Anyway vaping are still healthier than smoking. There are few studies that proven smoking causes many health problems such as heart attack, lung cancer, pneumonia and osteoporosis. This is because of the presence of several harmful chemicals for example nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide present in the cigarette which are considered to be carcinogenic but compare to e-cigarettes are not completely free of potentially harmful components but they are still considerably less

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.

With technological innovations happening everyday, many products are being created promoting health. Among these products is what is known as a e-cigarette. With no tobacco, tar, or even smoke, it has to be safe. Or is it? E-cigarettes were first introduced in 2006 as an alternative to smoking tobacco products. These e-cigarettes use vapor as opposed to smoke. The user still can receive their fill of nicotine with an added bonus of a flavor choice. With there first launch they weren 't seen as a breakthrough to many people and quickly was pushed aside. However, with growing technological advancements they have become a trending alternative to the normal cigarette. Many are quick to assume that the lack of actual tobacco results in a less dangerous product. But is it actually what it seems?

E-cigarettes appear as an innocent alternative to the real thing but the Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory identifying the “volatile” substances in the device and its emitted smoke may not be that harmless after all (“FDA: Second-Hand Smoke From E-Cigarettes May Be Harmful To Your Health”, 2013). Electronic cigarettes contain organic substances including propylene glycol, flavors, and nicotine which are emitted as a mist into the air in enclosed areas. FDA studies show that these microscopic liquid particles have the possibility of penetrating deep into our lungs. Also cited by the FDA in a German publication on electronic cigarettes shows

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.
