Why Vaping Is Bad

There is a lot of debate whether vaping teens are becoming a major problem. The article “Warning: Vaping Teens Becoming a New Generation of Nicotine Addicts” by USAtoday.com address how vaping the becoming the new cigarettes for teens. E-cigarettes may seem like they aren’t harmful because they don’t have cancer producing tobacco. However, they still have nicotine and other harmful toxins according to the article. Vaping teens are becoming a big problem in our generation. Nowadays, teens vape to seem “cool” or simply because of peer pressure. Schools in bigger areas have a bigger problem with vaping teens because it is easier for them to get the e-cigarettes than here. Consequently, schools will find more students who are addicted even though

This article is about the dangers of tennagers and adults vaping. Scientist have proven that electronic cigarettes are not harmless. They can damage your lungs, which leads to your lungs not being able to keep out germs and other harmful substances.

There is a new trend hitting the market known as e-cigarettes, or “vaping.” Many people believe that e-cigarettes are better than traditional cigarettes, but research shows just how unhealthy and harmful e-cigarettes are for everyone. The FDA has not yet decided if e-cigarettes should be regulated like tobacco products. E-cigarettes are marketed to help people quit smoking and live a healthier nonsmoking life. E-cigarettes are meant to help break the habit of smoking, but why are there so many “toxic chemicals” (Gilger) in the vapor? Is this new invention to help people quit smoking or just another way for tobacco companies to get richer?

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.

Some people believe that vaping may lead people into trying actual cigarettes in order to get a stronger effect. This is an especially worrisome possibility when it comes to children. The fact of the matter is that there is no strong evidence to support such a belief. If anything, the exact opposite is true. Most vapers chose to use e-cigarettes because they realized how harmful tobacco smoking was to them and they wanted to find a safe way to quit. In addition, many of these people spread the word of how harmful traditional cigarettes can be, which furthers support for anti-smoking campaigns.

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.

As shown on the Asap Science video, vaping is when one “heats up components until their aerosolized, without starting a combustion reaction with the other compounds” (AsapScience 1016). Basically, vaping allows for its users to inhale less smoke, by causing combustion (burning) at a controlled temperature. However, the problem with vaping is that it contains propylene glycol (found in theatrical smoke), which can “cause irritation in the lungs” (AsapScience 1016). Not only that, “even though the FDA has given the seal of approval, much is still unknown” (AsapScience 1016). Thus, the lack of information,

Many people believe that E-cigarettes ,otherwise known as E-cigs, are a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes, but this is nothing but a misconception. E-cigs are just another way to put nicotine into your body. Not only is nicotine a highly addictive drug but it is also toxic in high doses. Although E- cigarettes have been marketed to smokers to smokers as a way to help them quit, there is no proof that this is true. They are not a healthy alternative to regular cigarettes.

“How bad is vaping compared to smoking? Should it be banned entirely? Is it more dangerous, is it better?” Are a few major questions one thinks about vaping. The mentality of nicotine addiction and toxic chemicals that lead to cancer are what concerns the public. With vaping on the high rise of popularity, the vaping industry is collectively growing bigger with more than 3500’s shops in counting and worth billions. Vaping history goes far back but just because it has a history doesn’t make it all good. Vaping dates back to the 5th century B.C. of Egypt, where they heated up herbs on hot stones to vape on. Shisha’s or heard by the name of Hookahs came 1500 years ago in India and have spread in popularity everywhere and many places in the United States just like the e-cigarette. The idea of the e-cigarettes was made 2000’s but was not heard of until the Chinese company Hon Lik introduced them in the 2000’s, becoming a big hit in the US in 2007. Even though the creator from Hon Lik Co. had good intentions for the making of e-cigarette due to his father dying of lung cancer from smoking, vaping is still a possible force of destruction. “Despite making great strides to reduce smoking, tobacco is still our biggest killer. Our region has always kept an open mind towards using electronic cigarettes as we can see the massive potential health benefits from switching” states Lisa Surtees, acting director at Fresh Smoke Free North East. If at all compared to smoking, vaping is the safer

The basic definition of vaping is to “inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device” (Dictionary). If you have never heard of the term or have simply not researched it, you may have quite a few questions. Questions such as, ‘What is vapor?’, ‘What is an electronic cigarette and how do they work?’, and ‘Are they dangerous?’. These are frequently asked questions dealing with the topic of vaping in general. I am here today to provide you with current and accurate answers to these questions.

I am writing this report on the issue of vaping and smoking. I will go into detail explaining the effect of vaping and smoking in the human body and the effect it as on society. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of vaporing will be provided. In this report I will include statistical illustrations and diagrams on how it affects the society and draw conclusions with the given evidence. I have decided to research this topic because of how much smoking has affected the people especially younger people in the society.

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.

So when people vape around kids thinking it 's ok it isn 't going to hurt them, that 's the opposite it actually is. Also just to prove that second hand smoking is a dangerous health concern, since the surgeon general in 1964 there has been whopping, “ 2.5 million” deaths due to tobacco illnesses, but these people never smoked as cigarette. Which is ridiculous not only from a health standpoint, but also an economical standpoint. Medicare and medicaid spend billions on tobacco illnesses. For a country constantly sinking in debt that doesn 't sound like the best investment, to spend billions on someone 's habit. Now second hand smoking has been mentioned a lot, but what exactly is second hand smoking? Well it is more than just what the smoker exhales, it also included the smoke from the burning end of the cigarette. These two sources combined contain more, “7,000 chemicals. Hundreds of toxins, and about 70 can cause cancer” (Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke).

A study about vaping was done by the university of southern California in 2014 and 2016. The research came up to be that in 2014 “9% of high school students have used cigarettes or vaped.” In 2016 “13.7% of high school students have used cigarette or vaped.” The general increase shows that vaping is a more attractive gateway to nicotine than cigarettes. As crazy as it is to hear that this kind of smoking has grown that fast, it is good that if they are going to start a bad habit then it's better that they start the more healthier
