People who vapes e-cigs are everywhere even if you go indoor you will see people vaping e-cigs because they don’t smell like smoking regular cigarettes. So vapers the questions are “What is in the electric cigarettes?” and “Do electric cigarettes are safer to use than regular cigarettes?”
How are you doing today? Feeling better? I personally haven't heard that many good things about the e-cig; in fact, I was recently driving in a car with a coworker who smokes the e-cig and found myself having a difficult time breathing from the fumes. It was so bad that I seriously wanted to jump out the window (lol) and was counting down the minutes till we got to the restaurant. She told me that she is physically addicted to some chemical (possibly the menthol) and has tried many times to quit in the past year. Interestingly, she purchases the kind with 0 nicotine and can't seem to stop. Talk to you soon. I'm sick with the flu and headed to

Exposure to second hand smoke, also called involuntary smoking, occurs when non-smokers breathe in the cigarette smoke from others around them.

The addiction has taken hold in most of America, and one interviewee claims that they will vape on the bus or in the library. The smoke still has addictive nicotine, but they have reduced the amount of risk from disease such as cancer. Even though they are illegal to buy at that age, they can be easily obtained. Smoking these can increase the chance of changing to the original, cancer-causing ones later in life. Around 11% of High School Seniors vaped in 2017, and ¼ of them did it over 20 times EVERY MONTH. E-cigarettes were first sold in 2006, and their effects are still not 100% clear, and won’t be for decades. If they turn out to be dangerous as well, just image what might happen to our generation. The devices are small, and easily hidden. This, mixed with the fact that some come flavored may be the reasons it is so popular. The FDA has delayed an approval process of these items until 2022, which means that this addiction will most likely continue in the years to come.
