...Electronic Cigarettes I. INTRODUCTION (4 min). NOTE: Show slide 1. A. Opening Statement: How many people here smoke or use tobacco products? You really can’t take out a cigarette and smoke anywhere anymore. You can’t smoke in the bar anymore, and that was once a sacred ritual. You can’t go to your favorite coffee shop and enjoy a couple of cigarettes with your favorite brew. And when you are working and you want to have a smoke, you will have to go outside and smoke a cigarette, no matter the weather. It really has become a pain to be a smoker. Also, let’s not forget that it has become so expensive to smoke as well, with the price of cigarettes increasing every year it seems. Did you know there is a healthier alterative to smoking? And the fact of the matter is that this is not a new thing at all. It’s been around for a lot longer than you would think. Electronic Cigarettes are not only affordable but a lot healthier for you. But you can use them anywhere; there is no law that states you cannot use them in public places. Today I will discuss with you the history of the Electronic Cigarettes.

...In conclusion, the data presented does show that electronic cigarettes are a safer alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. Although the increased popularity of electronic cigarettes is attracting the attention of the nation’s youth, e-cigarettes were developed as a cessation device to quit smoking (Niaura et al., 2014; White et al., 2015; Youn et al., 2015). The common use of electronic cigarettes among teenagers and young adults are impart due to the expectations they hold (Harrell et al., 2015). As well as the renormalization of smoking cigarettes among youth and older adults (Fairchild et al., 2014; Cataldo et al., 2015). Simple by switching, the health benefits include decreased risk of pulmonary health problems such as asthma and lung...

...The E-Cigarette Debate Electronic cigarettes, often called e-cigarettes, are battery operated devices designed to look like regular tobacco cigarettes. Like regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes contain nicotine. There are three main styles of e-cigarettes: mini, mid-sized, and modified. Mini e-cigarettes mimic the look and size of traditional cigarettes and are usually used by beginners. Mid-sized e-cigarettes are generally used by more experienced users and there are separate compartments for the battery, the atomizer, and the cartridge for the e-juice. Modified e-cigarettes are the most expensive, but they allow users to experience a variety of flavors. Most electronic cigarettes work the same way. E-cigarette users inhale the way they would with a regular cigarette. This inhalation activates the atomizer to heat the liquid in the cartridge and convert the liquid to a vapor. Inhaling this vapor through the mouthpiece delivers nicotine to the lungs, and the user exhales vapor that looks much like a cloud of cigarette smoke. The liquid that fills the cartridges is usually propylene glycol, an additive that the FDA has approved for use in food. The cartridges may contain different amounts of nicotine, or no nicotine at all. Manufacturers usually add flavorings to the liquid. Options range from tobacco and menthol flavor to mint, chocolate, coffee, apple, cherry and caramel. Electronic cigarettes do have some benefits over traditional cigarettes. First, e-cigarettes do not have...

...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...

...Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, have gained a considerable amount of popularity in the United States since its introduction. These hand-held, battery-powered devices initiate the appearance and function of a conventional cigarette. This is done when the atomizer heats up the solution and provides a nicotine vapor, instead of smoke, to the user (Mayo Clinic, 2013). Many of the manufacturers of electronic cigarettes boast the safety of these products although there are little evidence supporting that claim. Nevertheless, people continue to purchase them, and it is important to start implementing stricter policies on them. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009 gives the FDA authority to regulate the marketing, manufacture and sale of tobacco products (Products, 2013), but the original intent of the FDA is to regulate electronic cigarettes as therapeutic drug delivery devices because of the contents of the liquid. In 2010 the United States District Court of Appeals declares that electronic cigarettes should be considered tobacco products (Grana, 2013). Unfortunately, since this declaration, the FDA has not exercised regulatory authority over electronic cigarettes. A main reason for this is partly due to the government shutdown in October. Prior to this, the FDA has taken steps to provide a proposed rule to the Office of Management and Budget, which is currently reviewing it (Staff, 2013). In the absence of FDA regulation many states, localities...

...Assignment: GM520 1. Smoking of Electronic Cigarettes on Aircraft The regulation on E-cigarettes is from the Department of Transportation. This regulation is very interesting for me because I grew up around mostly cigarette smokers. My mother used to smoke, my father, my grandparents, my sisters and brothers. In the country that I came from, smoking is one of the cheapest vices. When you go out of your house you will never miss a person smoking. I chose this regulation because I am basically concerned about the air we breathe especially if we are a non-smoker. I have been on few flights myself and I have never encountered somebody smoking e-cigarettes myself. But, since this new technology is growing and although it has claimed to reduce the risk of real cigarette-smoking, we are still unaware of the negative impacts it may bring to the air quality within the aircraft, and the impact it brings to the high-risk passengers aboard the aircraft. This regulation may not affect the organization I am working for but it definitely affects me as an individual. I work in a bank as a teller and thrice this year I have been a passenger of a plane which is preferable to me than driving 6 hours. I love flying and I would definitely enjoy it more with clean atmosphere and without the disturbance of a passenger sitting beside me inhaling and exhaling vapors. But of course this is not only about me, but of the population that is aboard the aircraft. A plane may consist of elderly...

...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...

...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). However, the use of this electronic device over a span of time have been suspected to lead to abuse and addiction. Abusing and becoming addicted to any type of substance can be harmful to a person’s well-being. The user can become in desperate need of the drug and not only dangerous towards themselves but to others as well. After becoming addicted to a substance, quitting is a very difficult task because the user will crave the drug and the way it makes them...

...Electronic Cigarettes Are Affecting Our Lives On April 29, 2014, New York City bans the electronic cigarettes from public spaces. Opponents of electronic cigarettes say that they have potential dangers, while proponents argue that electronic cigarettes are good tools to help people quit traditional cigarettes. The fact is that electronic cigarettes are affecting our lives. People are considering whether using electronic cigarettes is a good choice. In the article “Electronic Cigarettes: Achieving a Balanced perspective” Theodore L. Wagener and his partners say the harm of electronic cigarettes is overstated and that they have many potential benefits. The research proves that propylene glycol, a major chemical component of electronic cigarettes, does not have deleterious effects. Some people complain that cartridge of electronic cigarettes can poison children. However, Wagener points out there are many different chemical products around us. The cartridges are not the only thing that let children poison. Moreover, study proves that electronic cigarettes help with tobacco cigarettes cessation. Electronic cigarettes effectively deliver nicotine and can motivate tobacco smokers to quit. The reason is because electronic cigarettes reduce craving and the number of cigarettes smoked. Wagener says it is a “bridge product” (Wagener et al. 1546) to the smokers. Smokers could use this product, instead of traditional cigarettes, to achieve their hand-to-mouth motion and to fulfill their...

...Rachel Beck Professor Carr RWS 200 2/27/14 Electronic Cigarettes: the Future of Smoking? Today, if you were to sit at a bar on the Lower East Side, you may find yourself next to a guy smoking a light-up plastic tube that smells like cherries and think to yourself, even Humphrey Bogart couldn’t make one of those look cool. Or if you haven’t seen the 1941 film, Casablanca, you may still chuckle a bit. But could these vaping devices be the future of smoking? Author Andrew Stuttaford in his article, “Vaper Strain” published by the National Review in 2013, addresses the topic of these electronic cigarettes, arguing that these healthy alternatives are, in fact, the future of smoking. He believes they are often demonized for no good reason and he advocates for the product by addressing some of the key health concerns that consistently show up in debates on e-cigarettes. His purpose is to address these concerns, but ultimately show how the benefits of e-cigarettes outweigh their potential detriments. In his attempt to debunk arguments from the critics of e-cigarettes, he adopts a sarcastic tone for his audience, the readers of the National Review. Stuttaford’s sarcastic tone is used to introduce e-cigarettes to an older audience, predominantly one of older cigarette smokers who grew up in a time when smoking was a part of the American culture. The very first sentence in his article is introducing e-cigarettes – what they do and how they work – knowledge that is commonly known...
