The Benefits of E-Cigarettes Humans have grown on probably the worst habit of all time which is smoking tobacco. The amount of people smoking or starting to smoke is rising rapidly each year. Most companies such as British American Tobacco and Japan Tobacco are trying their hardest to improve their sales resulting in big profits. Companies like these have managed to keep the cost per cigarette down but the government are also adding more tax etc. to try and make people stop and not smoke. But people who have smoked all their lives are still willing to pay anything for cigarettes, so raising the prices or cigarettes are not working. Since evolving from the ‘The Classic Pipe’, tobacco and cigarettes are becoming easier to use and also easier to get. According to …show more content…
One of the main reasons is that the smoker can chose what flavour of liquid they can use and can also chose how much nicotine it can contain. A smoker that smokes quite a lot of cigarettes would probably want to choose a liquid containing 24mg of nicotine or near that amount. A smoker who doesn’t smoke a lot would definitely choose a liquid with less nicotine. ‘Vaping’ is also good in my opinion because over time the smoker could slowly cut down in nicotine value and eventually go to 0 mg, basically quitting smoking. An E-Cigarette gives the nicotine to the smoker through the evaporation of the liquid instead of actually burning it like a real cigarette. When the liquid is heated it evaporates and then the smoker can start using it. An E-Cigarette heats up the liquid in a container in the centre called the atomizer and this is called ‘vaping’. Not all but most liquids contain all of these chemicals: propylene glycol, glycerol, ethylene glycol etc. Even though liquids that are used for ‘vaping’ are not harmless, using an E-Cigarettes with some harmful chemicals in them is still safer than real
“Nicotine has known damaging effects: It’s addictive, toxic to developing fetuses and can harm brain development in children and young adults up to the age of 20” (Spector). This shows that when students introduce nicotine into their bodies at such a young age they can cause irreversible damage to their bodies that will hold them back from living a completely healthy life. “Propylene glycol, a chemical found in e-liquids, can irritate the eyes and airways... Early studies have also revealed that when propylene glycol or glycerin are heated and vaporized, they can degrade into formaldehyde and acetaldehyde... Both of these

You would think that people would want to keep their money and not place it towards something that is going to kill them at the age of 35. However, the prices and the amount of money that people actually spend on smoking is almost unbelievable. From the money that they are spending on smoking they could have bought things such as renting a house, paying off the mortgage, or even buying a car. All this money can go to better things that won’t kill
Anything that you breathe into your lungs other than fresh air isn’t going to be good for you, but now a days, there’s so many unhealthy things in our air that aren’t good for us that people still breathe in, whether they smoke or not. Like stated before, vaping leaves behind a very good smell, depending on your e-juice flavor and the smell doesn’t stick to clothes and furniture or anything of that matter. Basically due to vaping being in such an early state, no one can prove the damages of vaping. As of now, it gives cigarette smokers the same want and feeling as smoking a cigarette, just without all the harmful chemicals that its contains. Based off of all the information given on the many pros and very few cons of vaping, I strongly believe that vaping will be the fall of tobacco smoking forever because, smoking is dead, vaping is the future, and the future is
Dr. Belchetz says “No data exists as to the long-term effects on human health of breathing e-cigarette vapour.” Chemicals like glycerin and propylene glycol, found in electronic cigarettes, have not been studied to measure their long-term effect but are approved for oral consumptions ("The Unadvertised Health Risks of
In 2010 vaping really started to gain popularity in the United States and has gained steam ever since. The e-cig first commercially appeared in China in 2003 when a pharmaceutical company want to sell a smoking device to help people with quitting tobacco (When Did Vaping Become a Thing, 1). Unlike traditional cigarettes, users of e-cigs can purchase vape fluids with less or even no nicotine content giving them the ability to control the nicotine intake and wean themselves from first the addiction and then the habit. A study that was published in the British Medical Journal

There are only 40 toxic compounds and carcinogens present in e-cigarettes. E-cigarette contains relatively less of toxins as compared to conventional cigarette. The nicotine level can be adjusted based on the user’s preference. E-cigarettes requires e-juice to operate, the use of e-juices allows customization in terms of flavor and nicotine level.
When you vape and inhale the vapor from the device, the vapor coats the inside of the alveoli of the lungs where the nicotine, alcohol, vegetable oil, flavoring, and other ingredients are directly and immediately diffused into the blood. This immediate diffusion into the blood is very harmful because not only is the blood affected, but the tissue and the lungs are affected directly as well. The alcohol and the vegetable oil in the ‘vape juice’ can cause lung cancer and severe cough or
According to The Washington Post just in one year from 2013-2014, the numbers of school students using e-cigarettes is tripled and it’s gone up 800 percent since 2011.Contrary to that This is because it is often portrayed as harmless and it is being sold in such kid-friendly options as coca-cola, candy, strawberry and many other flavors. This has raised fears in society as it is been decade, we tried to combating and decreasing the numbers of smokers (Dennis). Also, a research found that teenagers who used this device are 3 times more likely to smoke regular cigarettes compared to those who had never use this device as a lot of parents are fine with their children using this device and they are not aware of the danger of it (Spencer). Moreover, there is more report that children drinking the e-cigarette juice and become horribly ill. For example a case in New York where a toddler died after ingesting liquid nicotine intended for use in an e-cigarette as many parents unaware of the safety risks to children from unsafe storage of e-liquid.
While this evidence alone would seem provide an excellent alternative to traditional cigarettes, E-cigarettes, according to California’s Department of Public Health, utilise at least 10 different chemicals dispersed in its aerosol of which are known to cause cancer and types of procreative harm to the user, as well as causing exasperation throughout the body, consisting of an irritation in the mouth and windpipe, chest pain and nausea, leading to an undecided notion in favour of E-cigarettes. Most commonly, the concern raised by E-cigarettes is the overall increased usage which, according to the A.S.H. Fact Sheet in the U.K. alone, has increased to 17.6% in 2014 alone. Issues are raised regarding the younger demographic, and the adverse effects E-cigarettes may impede towards their future and wellbeing, and while being advertised as a near 100% safer alternative to traditional cigarettes.

Smoking has been a long time habit round the world. However, in the past, smoking cigarette was very popular and known to be a cool recreational drug, and was widely accepted by the community across the world. Today smoking has been less widely accepted and more restricted because of the many health risks that are linked to smoking cigarette. These days, people are well educated and more knowledgeable about the health risks of smoking.
The smoking of tobacco products, particularly cigarettes, has proven to be one of the most pervasive and unambiguously harmful habits humans have developed in the last centuries, shortening countless lives and costing individuals and the public dearly in healthcare costs. While research on the effects of nicotine, tar and other carcinogens inhaled and absorbed from the smoking of tobacco are still ongoing, the detrimental health effects for both the smoker and those exposed to second-hand smoke is now well-established, well-publicized and generally accepted. As evidence of the harmful effects of smoking mounts and the stigma of smoking increases, cigarettes have been made more expensive through heavy taxation, less appealing with many countries adopting packaging laws, and harder to smoke in public places as the list of restrictions grows. All of these effects have led smokers to seek out alternatives designed to act as replacements or transitional aides to help
