When a person smokes from a vape or an e-cigarette they are inhaling a few different chemicals into their body, such as; propylene glycol, carcinogens, and even nicotine.
They will tell you that the chemicals in these products are less likely to cause you harm than smoking an actual cigarette, when in all honesty there has not been enough research to determine whether or not these items are as safe as they make them out to be. These products have an elevated level of acetic acid, acetone, soprene, formaldehyde and as acetaldehyde averaging around 20% of what the conventional cigarette puts into the air. The levels of carcinogens and toxins put into the air are detectable at the levels they are released. (Hooper, 2017)
There has yet to be enough research done on these products to decide they are safe for you, and healthier. There are plenty of factors that point to the dangers they are at risk of causing. There has been signs of asthma, and with them containing carcinogens, even cancer is a risk.

Most smokers don’t even know what they are smoking in reality. Tobacco and marijuana are made to calm the nerves of the human body (They are downers) but, they also are made of multiple poisonous and chemical substances. Tobacco contains chemicals like "Nicotine (the addictive drug that produces the effect that people are looking for and one of harshest chemicals in tobacco smoke), Hydrogen cyanide, Lead, Arsenic, Ammonia, Radioactive elements, carbon monoxide, etc." (3, The American Cancer Society) All of these elements put together form one of the deadliest products that is sold all over the world, called a cigarette. Companies created E- Cigarettes claiming that they were less harmful to the body but these products also contain addictive nicotine that can cause mental dependence on nicotine (The American Cancer Society).
“There is no proof that a single person has been harmed by the product.” E-cigarettes may be invented for the right reason but are even more harmful than cigarettes.
While e-cigarettes contain fewer toxic chemicals, findings suggest that potential potential increase in harmful cigarette use may follow.
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.
According to SF Gate, discussions regarding tobacco use have hit meeting rooms. The idea is, while e-cigarettes still delivers nicotine to the body, it does however filter out tar, carbon monoxide and other dangerous toxic chemicals found in tobacco cigarettes. And it's because of this why, theoretically, the public is better off with e-cigarettes.
E-Cigarette can cause harm especially to your lungs. The lungs are a important part of your body. The lungs are a respiratory system allowing the oxygen in the air to be taken into the body, to get
This vapor has different flavors, nicotine, water, propylene glycol and glycerin in it. This sounds like a lot but it is a healthier than traditional cigarettes (presumably). On the positive side, electronic cigarettes contain no tobacco, no smoke or fire and no ash or smell.
The Vapors and E-Cigs are an electronic cigarette, meant to be a substitute for cigarette smokers. E-cigs maybe the best alternative to cigarettes, although vaping presents just as many health issues as smoking.

A study by the FDA say “ A toxic compound found in antifreeze, tobacco specific compounds that have been shown to cause cancer.” Okay so first of all we all should know that if antifreeze gets in people's system they will get very sick and can lead to death.

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?
Electronic cigarettes produce vapor. Vapor is a clever word as it does not sound as harmful as smoke. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines smoke as; “the cloud of black, gray, or white gases and dust that is produced by burning something.” By definition this word has a negative connotation. However, the term vapor is defined as; “diffused matter (as smoke or fog) suspended floating in the air and impairing its transparency.” The word smoke is included in the definition, yet many don’t notice the correlation. Polosa (2013) argues that during the combustion process, cigarettes produce thousands of toxic chemicals. He further states that, e-cigarette vaporization does not emit the same toxins. The fact
While baby boomers and a few generations before are hooked on cigarettes millennials and generation Z have a whole new addiction. While tobacco cigarettes used to be something that was ‘cool’ to do, the new age version of this is vaping. Over time our technology has increased and scientists came up with an alternate solution to cigarette smokers addictions. Scientists have found a way to infuse nicotine into flavored oil (AKA e-juice) and use an atomizer to heat that to its boiling point which creates a flavored vapor with nicotine in it. Although this is a much healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes, there are definitelty some health risks that this new product presents.Scientists created an alternative, and with a lack of research or attention to research in media, many teens have turned to vaping. Vaping and using e-cigarettes is harmful to your body in many ways. Vaping includes risk of other lung issues, exploding atomizers can risk lives, and faulty vapes are extremely dangerous. THey also include risks of addiction to nicotine, and extremely harmful chemicals you are taking into your body.
E cigarettes are a healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes. E cigarettes have been studied by several groups and there have been little to no health issues. One of the biggest stigmas when it comes to any kind of smoking is the big one cancer and besides just the state of California E cigarettes have not been found to have anything to cause cancer which is great. The other big concern when it comes to smoking is breathing problems and there has been little to no suggestions that E cigarettes cause any kind of breathing issues.

chemicals itself too. When smoking cigarettes cigars or even e-cigs, everybody wants to know why do us people share when smoke? Well, according to “Can sharing lipstick, lip balm, or cigarettes give you herpes” it states that “not only can you transmit herpes but almost any other sickness that can be transferred via secretions or saliva. This includes mononucleosis, colds, flus, and even hepatitis” which means that when you share anything that's mouth related to somebody, It's bad enough that you're inhaling it but it's even worst that you're also getting an additional disease from it, like how I explained it earlier, not only its giving you all of these bad things, it's giving you limited amount of days for you to live.whatever that person is caring, you will most likely get it. As you might know the name of it just tells you everything about it, it's bad enough to be even around a vape. Some scientists shows that most e-cigs are exploding nowadays because of the mixed up chemicals and also because it's electric. So if you think that just smoking it is bad well think again. According to “Why e-cigs explode, and how to vape safely”, it states that most e-cigarettes are powered by a lithium-ion battery which is mostly found in our cellphones cameras and to our hybrid cars. When you take a puff out of an e-cig, some of us just know that it's just water but the truth behind “it's just water” is that there is a battery that powers the heating element that then turns the chemical
