Persuasive Essay On Vaping

Vaping is the use of a small electronic device that is made to simulate tobacco smoke. Nicotine is bad for everyone but having children get addicted at such a young age multiplies the negative effects. Vaping leads to cigarette usage, preventable cancers, respiratory issues and addition. Tobacco is the cause of 5.4 million deaths annually; Can you imagine how that number will climb with all the teens that are getting addicted today?

Vapes and E-cigarettes were originally founded in order to help cigarette users quit smoking. However, this has recently changed. Teenagers have easy access to vapors and are convinced that nothing harmful should come out

Is smoking a cigarette like aiming a smoking gun to your head? Absolutely, yes! The photo above, has a very powerful message to be shared with people all over the world. The creator of the picture above is, The American Cancer Society. This is an organization that is trying to heighten awareness of the dangers of smoking, the most threatening danger being, cancer. They also promote relays which help raise money for ads and research. The money raised helps to inform people of the dangers smoking and what the negative outcomes of such a habit. This society also helps with finding treatment options. They are helping people cope with the side effects of various cancers or to advise on health insurance. A certain population of people, particularly young people, see smoking as a cool or hip idea to fit in. The goal of this visual argument is to inform people who smoke cigarettes that they should just hold a gun to their heads. The American people should be against nonsmoking because of the feelings you get when smoking, the chemicals that are involved, and how the cigarette will kill like a loaded gun.

I feel this shows a lack of compassion and respect for yourself and your environment. There should be laws in place that prohibits public smoking; there is no way to convince me that smoking is okay. What it is, is unnecessary and more than anything, inconsiderate, and there should most definitely be laws in place and enforced that prevent people from openly sharing thousands of chemicals with unwilling participants. I’m sure many people will feel that if something like this were to happen then their civil rights would be infringed upon, but how is that not the case now, when as soon as you leave your home, as a none smoker, there is a more than likely chance you’ll come into contact with someone’s awful smoking habit, especially if you don’t have your own means of transportation. Your right to poison your body does not supersede my right to stay

“In 2009, 8.2% of middle school students and 23.9% of high school students reported current use of any tobacco product, and 5.2% of middle school students and 17.2% of high school students reported current use of cigarettes” (CDC, Tobacco Use, Para. 5). Tobacco products are always going to be accessible to the kids of the nation. But e-cigs are still only for men and women above the age of 18, and I.D. is required to purchase anything related to the products. I questioned 50 people who use e-cigs or e-cig products if they ever felt the desire to smoke a regular cigarette since they began using a vape. Out of 50, 36 said that they have never felt the desire to smoke a cigarette, and they didn’t get any nicotine in the juice they used. 10 of the 50 stated that they would rather use their vape, but sometimes they crave a cigarette. The other 4 said that they would rather have a cigarette but are quitting. Some even stated that they use their vape as an excuse to not smoke. They don’t feel as pressured to smoke whenever they are able to use the e-cigs around smokers. Most people who have smoked their entire lives and decided to quit and start vaping usually start out at a high level of nicotine then slowly work their way down to lower levels. “We followed 477 users of electronic cigarettes during one month and 367 users over one year. 22% had stopped smoking after one month and 46% after one year.

Vaping is an electronic cigarette with/without nicotine. It does not involve combustion; it involves a battery and a push of a button to get it started. Vape uses “e-liquid” which comes in an assortment of flavors, like strawberry shortcake, piña colada, and many more. The vape heats up the e-liquid, which turns into vapor once you activate it by holding down the button and then you inhale it. Vape is not only about smoking, but you can also do tricks with the smoke. You can make “O’s”, “mini O’s”, “jellyfish”, and others if you know about it. In some states, they have a competition to see who is the vape “god”. It’s crazy to see how people can do awesome tricks just by using their mouth and hands. Vape smells much better compared to smelling the cigarettes stench. Cigarette stench starts to linger and stay on clothing’s or furniture’s, yet vape does not. It is also better than smoking because bad things happens when you

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

“There are currently no federal minimum age or youth restrictions for e-cigarettes, according to the DEA although most states, cities have passed laws banning the sale to minors.” (Vaping 2). Teens are able to smoke discretely where ever they want. DEA spokeswomen Barbra Carreno said, “look on Instagram, you will see many thousands of posts by young people, snickering about smoking in class.” (page 2). The percentage report of usage for high school students is 2.8 in the previous 30 days in 2012, as the rising number 1.5 percent in 2011. (Carreno

Smoking kills. Smoking can cause cancer and other bad diseases. Also, companies have made cigarettes in different flavors which are worse than regular cigarettes. People who smoke can be addicted. If you try to stop smoking cold turkey, it will give you headaches and stomachaches. I wanted to research this topic because I have some really close friends and they have family that smoke. Their great-grandpa died from smoking. Also, I noticed a lot of people are dying because they made the bad decision to smoke. Some people started to smoke when they were teenagers. They got addicted to it, and now they can’t stop smoking. I wanted to try to find a way people who smoke can stop. How can countries solve and stop smoking? This problem can be solved and it will be solved because countries are starting to ban smoking from certain places.

There is a lot of anti-vaping propaganda that is being spread around by different special interest groups. We are sad to say that most of these rumors are untrue and are usually spread by people who aren’t properly educated on what vaping really is. Below, we disprove 3 lies that you probably have heard about vaping.

Ever since this new, exquisite device, called E-Cigarettes, made and was bought from stores, it has become really addicting around the United States, especially children and teens. Because of its new abilities, people, mostly teens, thinks that it’s a lot safer to use. But it’s not. Risk factors are still acquired from these cigarettes because they have nicotine gas and other chemicals that causes cancer. Due to legalized tobacco, you have still have to follow the age rule, +18 years old, but teens still buy these products because of their taste and its fastidious abilities.

We indulged for a while, about ten minutes had passed before we realized we were pushing it. Although blowing the smoke down the toilet and flushing it made the smell go away completely (not at all actually), we began to worry about getting caught. Charlie and Greg left, leaving me and Austin to handle the cleanup operation. We joked about how scared they were and complimented each other on being such badasses. Austin had just put our means of smoking back into his backpack. No sooner did a member of the faculty enter the bathroom.

I don’t think Greg has a valid point because if he didn’t think the situation was that serious he and his friends wouldn’t have been trying to do everything possible to prevent the smell and smoke from being noticed. Marijuana is common in many campuses but it doesn’t mean it’s right to find it normal and become a part of it. Since marijuana is still not legal in Texas, the penalty for smoking on campus should be in those measures. However, I do believe that since underage drinking is also illegal they must have the same consequences. I am not aware of the substance abuse policies on my campus, mainly because I don’t smoke, but I highly doubt they give a “fair” warning. Any school substance abuse policy could not be enough to deter students

Due to the flavors that are available, vaping has become a popular activity for the youth. Children will find the cartridges and just drink the liquid thinking it is some kind of harmless juice. According to the article by Ritchel (2014), the Minnesota poison control had 29 cases of children under the age of 2 contract nicotine poisoning. In addition, the FDA has yet to regulate the process of vaping. This is a problem because without regulation, there is no way of knowing what is being put into the liquids that are being sold (lung.org). Some foreign manufacturers do not even have a clue as to what they are putting into the cartridges, which is especially scary to even think about (Ritchel 2014).

Electronic cigarettes have become a big influence on high schoolers. Vaping is what they call using Electronic cigarettes. Vaping is used to help to cut back on the use of real cigarettes. Since cigarettes has tar and many other bad chemicals in it makes vaping look really good when compared to each other.
