...INTRODUCTION Are electronic cigarettes (E-Cigs) dangerous? Some say yes, e-cigs are not only dangerous but they are also being marketed towards an adolescent demographic. Others side with the argument that these devices help traditional tobacco smokers stop smoking. Substantial evidence backing both sides of this debate have been analyzed. An electronic cigarette is a battery-powered device designed to resemble a regular tobacco cigarette. Almost every e-cig is composed of the following key components: a mouthpiece for inhaling vapor and holding the cartridge of juice, an atomizer which acts as a heating element, and a rechargeable battery to power the device (M. Johnson, N. Pennington, 2014 #612). “The use of the electronic cigarette simulates the act of smoking, and the colored light emitting diode even simulates the glow of tobacco. However, no actual smoke is generated with this device” (M. Johnson, N. Pennington, 2014 #612). Because there is no tobacco combustion in e-cigs, they are a much lower risk alternative when compared to traditional cigarettes. This also means that the absence of tobacco results in minimal regulation of the product (M. Johnson, N. Pennington, 2014 #612). Electronic cigarettes are available in stores and online to anyone regardless of age. Consumers of this product range from smokers trying to quit, to the nation’s youth who have never smoked before. Flavors such as gummy bear, cookies, and bubble gum get the attention of a youth market and poses...

...Luis Suarez Professor Haight WRC 1013.0G3 10-09-15 E cigarette uprising Tobacco is the greatest cause of preventable death in the United States, leading to the premature deaths of more than 480 000 Americans annually (Amato sec.1). Regardless, the sale of cigarettes and tobacco is a multi-billion dollar industry. Farelly’s studies show that in the year 1990, the average number of packs sold per person that year was well over a hundred. Cigarettes however, might not be worth all the issues and conflicts associated with the product, such as rising tobacco illness and health care costs. Cigarettes are highly addictive, create harmful health consequences, and entail high health care costs. Tobacco distributors target their audience to start smoking as early as 18 to their 20s. (Freeman Advertisements in the past positively advertised cigarettes; however, nowadays cigarettes are mostly negatively advertised to protect the new generation after the discovery of just how harmful they are to our health. Cigarettes becomes a controversial topic due to distributors’ claims to freedom of speech and the new found harmfulness of cigarettes. Also an issue regards underage teens being influenced by advertising to pick up smoking at such a young age which in turn leads back to the controversial topic of advertising smoking positively or negatively. With the increasing awareness of the harms of cigarettes, the tobacco industry, being on the ropes, has shifted their approach in their product...

...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...

...Introduction “Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States,” (“Health Effects of Cigarette Smoking”, 2014, para.2). Each year it is responsible for 480,000 deaths, which is more than Human Immunodeficiency Virus, illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, and fire arm related incidents combined. There have been ten times more premature deaths due to tobacco use than casualties during all noted American wars in United States history (“Health Effects of Cigarette Smoking”, 2014, para.2). Use of tobacco products causes cancer of the nose, mouth, larynx, trachea, esophagus, throat, lungs, liver, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, cervix, bone marrow, blood, colon, and rectum (“Health Effects of Cigarette Smoking”, 2014, para.6). “Globally, it is estimated that cervical cancer is responsible for 2.7 million years of lost life, and at least 75 percent of head and neck cancers are caused by tobacco and alcohol use.” (Lamb, Dawson, Gagan, & Peddie, 2013, p. 25; National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health, 2013, para. 11). These are only two frightening cancer statistics caused by tobacco from the previously stated list. It is imperative to understand the repercussions of using tobacco products so patients do not become another one of these statistics, but it is more important to explain the positive results of abstaining from those products to encourage greater chances of successful cessation of tobacco use.

...amongst ______ students to get their insights on smoking and also their personal experiences with it. We divided the questionnaire for smokers and non-smokers. We managed to get a total of 50 participants in which 60% were non-smokers and 40% were smokers. The questions regarding smoking facts were answered by both sides. Both smokers and non-smokers seem to have just a slight understanding on what smoking really does to the body and to those around them. Based on the findings, we recommend that students be exposed to the real dangers of smoking. We suggest exhibitions, competitions, talks or maybe even a health class.
