...Electronic Cigarettes Christopher Limbago COM215 July 9, 2013 John Murray Electronic Cigarettes Electronic cigarettes or more commonly known as e-cigs are becoming a new trend. Introduced to the U.S. market in 2007 e-cigs have become more prevalent and widely available (Noel, et al., 2011). The e-cig has seen growth within the last few years, which has been faster than most of the general economy of the United States. The reason for this growth is because of to the current facts stating that this electronic cigarette has no damaging effects on the human body. Adults will view “vaping,” as an available option to their social lives without possessing the need to worry about the potential health risks that normally would come from conventional cigarettes. Not just adults but also teenagers have begun to use this invention, which can either be perceived as a possible threat to the social outlook of a teenager’s life, or a positive choice toward smoking. Points of discussion will include the popularity growth of the e-cig, health concerns, and smoking cessation. Electronic cigarettes, are getting popular and may be healthier than normal cigarettes, but they may still cause health issues in the future. First topic of discussion will be about the popularity growth of the e-cig. In the past year the e-cig sales have increased as the price of tobacco cigarettes rose. The market trend has proved this to be true. As the popularity of e-cigs grew it influenced the...

...recently asked to write about electronic cigarettes; at first I was completely confused – I never heard about electronic cigarettes before. However, after a bit of research, I came away quite intrigued by this relatively new product that is taking the industry by storm. So first – what is electronic cigarette? I was amazed to find that electronic cigarettes have been around for a few years now, but it hasn’t been until recently that they have really begun to become prominent in the marketplace. Electronic cigarettes serve two distinct purposes – one, they can provide smokers with a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes, and two, they can be used as a method to stop smoking altogether. Electronic cigarettes have the appearance of a real cigarette, but instead it is a canister with a nicotine cartridge inside. They do not contain any tobacco and do not have any of the unpleasant toxins and carcinogens that are found in conventional cigarettes. An electronic cigarette (or “e-cig”) has an atomizer inside that is triggered by the user inhaling through the mouthpiece. This atomizer activates the nicotine cartridge and a vapor is inhaled. On the opposite end, the e-cig gives off an orange glow, as if the cigarette were “lit.” The great thing about e-cigs is that the act of smoking a real cigarette is replicated – the user puts it to their mouth, inhales and exhales as if they were smoking a real cigarette. For those who use e-cigs as a means to quit smoking,...

...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...

...Electronic Cigarettes; The New, Legal Way to Pollute the Body Over the last 10 years, a new craze has taken effect over the world. Electronic cigarettes or E-Cigs, have become popular among all generations. The question for the reader is simple. Is this alternative form of nicotine dependence healthy, or is society setting itself up for a big health shock in the upcoming years? “Many anti-smoking advocates have argued that electronic cigarettes don’t help smokers quit but merely prolong their addiction to nicotine. In other words, the hundreds of thousands of electronic cigarette users in the United States are smokers who, if only they stopped using e-cigarettes, would successfully quit smoking” (Siegel, 2013). Although the issue of E-Cigs is not a burning issue at this moment, imagine what happens in five to ten years if users of E-Cigs are told that the activity they have been participating in is causing many of the ailments that could arise due to the use of E-Cigs in their infancy. The makers of E-Cigs will be sued, the Federal Government will impose fines, and the cool factor will take a big hit. It is almost insulting to societies intelligence to use the description “cool factor.” Moreover, if the reader is fortunate enough to remember the time when regular cigarettes were sold by actors and cartoon characters among other notable figures, then “cool factor” description definitely makes sense. This is a statement from...

...The Truth Behind E-Cigarettes E-cigarettes, also known as electronic cigarettes, are battery-powered cartridges filled with nicotine liquid that, when heated, creates an inhalable mist (webmd.com). E-cigarettes are the new way for smokers to reduce their nicotine needs as well as reduce their risk of health issues. They are supposed to be the new, healthy way for smokers to increase their life-span and still enjoy the effects an ordinary cigarette gives them. However, E-cigarettes are harmful to users for many reasons. Research says that the cons of the electronic device outweigh the benefits. They are a gateway to substance abuse and addiction. They can also lead to many health risks. Finally, they can cause lung damage. E-cigarettes are said to be “the new and safer cigarettes”. While still providing the users with the nicotine needs of a regular cigarette, they have been deemed a safer alternative. The way this technology work is that when heated, the user inhales mist of nicotine liquid (science.howstuffworks.com).

...The E-Cig WHY CIGARETTES ARE BAD… 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) The people who die from smoking cigarettes alone is more than deaths related to alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined. “An estimated 46 million people, 20.6% of all adults in the U.S. smoke cigarettes” (CDC) It is estimated that “over 6 million children in the U.S. under the age of 18 will ultimately die from smoking. There are also 8.6 million people in the U.S. who suffer from a smoking related illness.” (tobaccofreekids.org) The vast numbers of deaths and illnesses are caused by one thing, cigarettes, but it’s not the cigarette itself that is the problem it is the chemicals that are used to produce and manufacture the cigarette that are the initial problem. Did you know that the average smoke in a cigarette contains over 4,000 different chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer. Just a few of the most unbelievable ingredients a cigarette contains are but not limited to “Ammonia;...

...The changing legal idea about computers is that its a trend forcing police to change the way that they investigate crimes and obtain search warrants. A computer or personal electronic device can no longer be seen as just a thing, it should be viewed as a place said Mr. Justice Thomas Heeney. Recent case laws holds that because a computer can contain such huge amounts of personal information, it should be regarded as a place. Mr. Rafferty's laptop was essentially warrant-less and so had violated his Charter of Rights against unreasonable search and seizure. This precedent stemmed from another high profile murder case in 2007 which was a Markham salesman killing his estranged wife and another woman. His cell phone was going to be examined for trace evidence of blood splatter, but the scrutiny of its contents inside needed a second warrant. The plain view principle could not be applied in this case. That simply involves common sense because none of the contents in the computers were in plain view. Two other legal skirmishes that the jury never heard about were 1- several inconsistencies in various statements made by witnesses and 2- The inconsistency in Ms. Mcclintics initial claim of Rafferty being the one to smash Tori's skull, and later she said that she wielded the murder weapon. They also missed the episode in the court room when two people tried to snap pictures of Rafferty which is extremely illegal in a court room. I do not believe in the fact that evidence should be...

...In Electronics, Japan Still Matters Posted by: Bruce Einhorn on March 17, 2011 In the global technology industry's pecking order, Japanese consumer electronics companies long ago surrendered their top spot to more nimble competitors like Samsung Electronics andApple. Many of the country's chipmakers also struggled as competitors in Korea and Taiwan thrived. Meanwhile, marketing executives at major multinationals turned their attention to China and India, the world's new economic powers. For many, Japan was largely an afterthought, a declining power with an aging population. The turmoil following the March 11 earthquake has provided a rude reminder that, when it comes to the global electronics industry's supply chain, Japan still matters. The country's factories produce about one-fifth of the world's semiconductors and 40 percent of electronic components. Japan's Mitsubishi Gas Chemical and Hitachi Chemical combined make almost all of the world's BT Resin, a raw material used in chip packaging, and Hitachi Chemical has 70 percent market share for a type of chemical slurry used by semiconductor producers for polishing chips. Tech executives and investors therefore should be worrying about a prolonged shutdown of production in Japan, where many factories are closed and there's no clear sign of how much damage they suffered or when they might reopen. Typically, big chipmakers likeTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. keep between four to six weeks of supply, so uncertainty about...

The park story has greater effect on your viewers, but the celebrity death will get bigger ratings? Which do you make your lead story and why? o Your news organization is owned by a massive corporation that also owns an electronics company. It has learned that the refrigerators the electronics company makes are fire hazards and have destroyed several homes.

One of your reporters is caught fabricating sources and making up facts. How do you handle the situation, from disciplining the reporter to explaining it to your readers? .
