...Why you should quit smoking and start vaping Lucas Duyck WR 121 12/2/2015 Recently the FDA has tried to ban a revolutionary product that has helped hundreds of thousands of people quit smoking under the false claims that it is more harmful than cigarettes. It has come to the realization of the e cigarette industry that there are many people who are reading about experiments done by the FDA that try to dramatize the dangers of e cigarettes. In the most recent attempt to ban electronic cigarettes the big tobacco industry has pushed an FDA ban on all electronic cigarette devices made past 2009. E cigarettes are far better than cigarettes in many ways and the FDA is trying to ban them to save the tobacco industry this is wrong they should be promoting this product as a safer alternative to smoking. Because of all the action against vaping, this essays purpose is to inform as many people as possible about what would happen if vaping was banned and the negative effects that would follow and let them determine how the FDA should handle e cigarettes. Smoke from cigarettes contain more than 7000 chemicals and 250 of those are known to be harmful. Some of the harmful chemicals include hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, and ammonia and another 69 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer.

...The Electronic Cigarette By Sergio Gaxiola Composition I Professor Frawley 13 August 2012 The Electronic Cigarette It is estimated that 400,000 deaths will occur this year in the United States from cigarette smoking. This gruesome statistic tells us that with illegal drugs, alcohol, motor vehicle, suicides and murders combined; cigarette smoking is still the number one contributor. In 1963, Herbert A. Gilbert was not aware of these kinds of statistics, however, he was on the brink of an invention that would revolutionize the way we smoke cigarettes almost fifty years later. The invention of the Electronic Cigarette [also known as the e-cig] was patented in 1963 by Herbert A. Gilbert, “The present invention relates to a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette and has for an object to provide a safe and harmless means for and method of smoking by replacing burning tobacco and paper with heated, moist, flavored air; or by inhaling warm medication into the lungs in case of a respiratory ailment under direction of a physician.” (Electronic Cigarettes, 2009) Unfortunately for Herbert, in the early 1960s cigarette smoking was not yet the threat it has become today. People just didn’t see a need to stop smoking. During the 1950s and 1960s, the Tobacco Company had always marketed towards women; smoking was a sexy thing. As one can see from the photograph, the young lady is beautiful, slender and happy. Throughout the middle of the 1960s big Tobacco Company’s began...

...Introduction This proposed project is to evaluate if becoming a retail distributor of the new e cigarettes makes logical sense for Indianapolis Indiana. E Cigarettes were first marketed in China in 2004 and rapidly growing at an astounding pace. Sales are expected to hit $1 billion in 2013 (Stuttaford, 2013). Despite the newness of the product and much of if any side affect have been noted through some studies. In the ECLAT 12-month study, which is double-blind, controlled, randomized clinical study to evaluate smoking reduction, smoking abstinence and adverse events in smokers (Caponettto etal, 2013). The study demonstrated e-cigarettes hold some validity in ‘reducing number of cigarette smoked, and can lead to enduring tobacco abstinence…” E Cigarettes are operated by batteries that heats up the liquid solution of which some contains zero nicotine, propylene glycol, and other chemicals. When consumers puff on the element this triggers the vapor to be heated giving off a mist (vapor) which consumers inhale and exhale like traditional cigarettes. E Cigarettes are made to look and feel like their real counterpart and ‘simulate the visual, sensory, and behavioral aspects of smoking traditional cigarettes (Caponnetto etal, 2013). Without the combustion or burning of the tobacco leaves, e cigarettes have been proven through some studies to have positive effects on consumers as well as aiding in smoking cessation (Scott, 2013). Here is a diagram that shows...

...It is only common sense that smoking is bad for us. Not only is cigarette smoking one of the most avoidable causes of poor health and death in our world today. But “smoking puts your friends and family at risk. Approximately 50,000 adult non-smokers die each year from second hand smoke alone, 3,000 of which die from lung cancer.” (NIDA/tobaccofreekids.org) Did you know that smoking is the leading cause of death in the United States “approximately 443,000 deaths or 1 of every 5 deaths, in the United States each year.”(CDC) E-cigarettes are known as electronic cigarette and vaporizer cigarette. They are devices that emit dose of vaporizer nicotine. They use a battery source to power the device. They are also a non-tobacco product. There are many that believe that e-cigarettes are going to draw children and young people into the habit because the e-liquids are made to taste sweet like fruit, desserts and popular beverages. Research has proved that nearly 3,000 kids under the age of 18 will try their first cigarette and another 700 become regular smokers. (Society) Most of them probably started smoking because there was a family member or a friend that they knew are smokers or former smokers. If the young people are going to smoke, they should chose the less harmful device to get their nicotine. There are about 480,000 deaths a year attributed to smoking or secondhand smoke. Many people smokers have switched from cigarettes to e-cigarette. There has been about 2 million smokers...
