Research methods are “the various specific tools or ways data can be collected and analysed, e.g. a questionnaire, interview, etc.” (Neville, C, 2007).

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.

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

People are lead to believe that electronic cigarettes do not contain tobacco and that they are safer than real cigarettes. Little do they know, electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigs, expose their inhalers to harmful and toxic gases that cause health problems and harm the lungs. In most cases the solvent in an e-cig is considered “food grading,” which means it should be safe enough to eat, but manufacturers are changing the configuration of the solvent so it contains both the flavoring and nicotine. As a person inhales, the flavored liquid flows through the e-cig and as it passes over hot coils the liquid changes into a gas. The more frequently an e-cig is used, the toxicity of the fumes increases. Nicotine is always added to the starting

In 2003 E-cigarettes were invented by Lik Hon in China and in just three short years they exploded worldwide (Hajek et al. 1). This topic is important because E-Cigarettes are sweeping the globe by providing millions of users a vapor, nicotine delivering device. Not only are they bringing in a new subculture called “vaping”, but also many questions on how they should be regulated (Gardiner 1). The users of E-cigarettes are widespread and can not be pinpointed to just one age, race, or even country, the users are everywhere. According to Etter and Bullen some users use e-cigarettes to help them quit traditional cigarettes and others use them to complement their tobacco use. However the greatest rise of e-cigarette use has come from adolescence, majority being teenagers who are not tobacco users (Etter and Bullen).

According to Fairchild et al. (2004), even though the concept of “safer” cigarettes received support from federal and voluntary institutions in the 1980s, there have been contrasting ideas about this topic especially between physicians and public health professionals today. The advent of electronic cigarettes has therefore elicited varied reactions among major players both in the health sector and cigarette manufacturing industry. Electronic cigarettes are basically battery-operated devices that simulate traditional tobacco cigarettes and are designed in such a way that they transmit a nicotine vapor that is usually inhaled (Novack para 2).

Cigarette has been a topic of debate ever since its existence. Whether it’s the health issues of cigarettes or the negative impact of cigarette advertisement, it has been in our culture for the longest time. Recently, a divergent of cigarette called E-Cig had entered the market and have seen some unexpected success. In 2014, studies showed that electronic cigarette revenue has topped more than 500 million US dollar. With this huge industry appearing out of seemingly nowhere, many people has begun to question its health and safety effects on us, specifically is E-cig better than normal cigarette?

Electronic cigarettes were first developed by a Chinese pharmacist because he watched his father die from cancer caused by traditional cigarettes.. The article “ Smoke Signals” by Alessandra Potenza which is featured in Upfront magazine shows that E Cigs are a controversial and complex issue which is popular among young Americans. Electronic cigarettes do not contain all of the harmful chemicals that cigarettes do. Although these E Cigs are an healthier alternative to cigarettes, these E Cigs may still get users addicted to nicotine just an cigarettes would.

Electronic cigarettes are devices, which deliver a nicotine containing vapor to the user. This popular new product, is entirely unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, with little known public health effects. With no warning labels, most users think that vaping, (inhale/exhale vapor from electronic cigarette), is safe. Originally electronic cigarettes were intended to be used as a device that users would use to help them quite smoking. But instead not only do they keep people hooked on its use, but also appeal to the younger users. Once manufactures started adding flavoring to the e-juice, (liquid substance used in e-cigarettes), many people accused the companies of using these flavors to attract and appeal the teens. Unlike

As stated by Eleanor Roosevelt, “One 's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.” Everybody has a myriad choices in life. Some choices are better than others, and some are the worst choices one could have possibly chosen. The choices of one may work in one’s favor, or one’s choices may work in contrariety of one’s goals altogether. Electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes or e-cigs, are an alternative choice to smoking actual cigarettes. Whether e-cigarettes should be regulated is a controversial topic among the people of the world today. A few people withhold the beliefs that electronic cigarettes should not be regulated as regular cigarettes are. It is possible that they believe that the regulation will lead to the prohibition or cease of smoking wholly. However, speaking as a candor person, one may say that these people are blind to the potential harms that the lack of regulation could create and that the lack of regulation may actually be causing electronic cigarettes to work in opposition of the purpose they are mostly used for. E-cigarettes are proven to not to have the same detrimental effects as regular cigarettes, however they are potently harmful, with different and serious consequences. The regulations would not be banning electronic cigarettes; the regulations are working to protect the health and well-being of everyone.

Research has proven that “Electronic cigarettes-use of which is spreading, particularly among youngsters contain carcinogens, sometimes at higher levels than those found in conventional cigarettes” (Yoneyama 1). Since the invention of the e-cigarette in 2003, the use of this new device has increased dramatically with our adults and shockingly even with our youth. In our era today, many of our youth have found that the use of e-cigarettes to be a safe alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes and lack the proper research. Despite the new expansion of e-cigarettes to society, the low amount of research conducted on this new trend should not justify it

Even though, this was a short interview, but I learned that my respondent did not have many negative thoughts about e-cigarettes and it was seem more of a positive product to use. I also learned that friends are usually the ones who influences others to try new products and activities. Occasionally, it can be a positive or a negative influence. I was aware that my respondent might have not done research on the possible health risks and negative factors of e-cigarettes. Nonetheless, from my respondent’s answers, e-cigarettes do not cause any side effects or harm for a person who uses this product throughout the day or even years. Moreover, these products are convenient, does not require much work, and inexpensive.

People consider the contemporary society in which we live to be the most advanced in comparison to those in the past. A major component to why our society is considered to be developing is because of the technological apparatuses at our disposal. However, others would also consider that technology has a negative impact on the way society functions. For example, e-cigarettes have been placed in the spotlight for whether or not they are an invention that helps or hinders the lives of individuals and society as a whole. The use of e-cigarettes is becoming more and more common, especially in the United Kingdom, (Dockrell, Morison, Bauld, & McNeill, 2013) which is why it is a hot topic to discuss in today’s modern society. Even in the United States, more than 38% of tobacco smokers have tried to use an alternative method, with the most common being the e-cigarette (Popova & Ling, 2013). The modern e-cigarette was invented in 2003 by Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, who wanted to assist smokers in bettering their health (Grana, Benowitz, & Glantz, 2014). In Canada, smoking tobacco cigarettes has caused many health related problems because close to six million people smoke these products in 2013 (Statistics Canada, 2014).
