This article written by Joe Nocera is a highly controversial topic within teens and young adults. The use of e-cigarettes has been scrutinized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a new found addiction. The CDC believes that e-cigarettes are just as dangerous as normal cigarettes and are a detriment to the public health.

Many people consider the term "electronic cigarette" (e-cig) incorrect, because the word "cigarette" refers to regular cigarettes (cigs), i.e. burning, something that e-cigs have no relation with (they just evaporate a liquid). For this reason, they propose the use of alternative terms, such as "vaping devices", "Personal Vaporizers" (PVs) or "Advanced Personal Vaporizers" (APVs). The term that is used more frequently within this book is "electronic cigarette" (e-cig), as it is more widespread and more familiar to most people. The word "cigarette" in the term "electronic cigarette" may not be an accurate description about how the device operates, but it declares what this device is similar to.

Specific Purpose Statement: To invite my audience to consider the advantages and disadvantages of smoking cigarettes so that they can make an informed decision on whether or not to smoke them Thesis: There are two obvious stances on cigarettes: pro-cigarette and anti-cigarette. Today I would like to explore these two stances and have a discussion about your current views. Introduction:
E-cigarettes were originally created as an alternative to smoking. America has dealt with tobacco addiction for decades before the tobacco industry’s eventual decline. However, there is a new issue that has become increasingly common recently. Teen vaping is a serious issue that should be addressed immediately. Since its creation in 2007, e-cigarettes have only grown in popularity, especially with teenagers.
Synopsis and Summary E-cigarettes, they contain flavorful fluids of your choice and to your liking, but they are still harmful and do in many cases contain nicotine. In the article on e-cigarettes use among young adults, there was a study done to compare and look at the amount of younger adults using e-cigarettes versus those who smoke cigarettes. The article also looked at the effects that using e-cigarettes has on our bodies and why young people find them intriguing to use. The surgeon general is concerned with the growing demand and use of e-cigarettes not just young adults, but also children of younger ages. Every year the age of users is decreasing, e-cigarettes are reaching and within reach of younger and younger children.
However, by articles saying that it does not contain tobacco but nicotine contradicts its self because it will still give the same affect that a traditional cigarette with tobacco.. Although it contains nicotine it seems not to be as harmful as a traditional cigarette would. The long term health results do not seem to show the same symptoms as of a traditional cigarette would
Tobacco in the United States has become a big money maker, as the use of tobacco has blown up so has tobacco related deaths. Tobacco comes in forms ranging from smoking to smokeless. Those who are generally just against tobacco may view smokeless tobacco as a harmful substance due to its ability to cause a variety of oral cancers, leading to a significant portion of oral deaths, and a nicotine dependence development. Those who may agree that tobacco use is not safe but also look at the smoking tobacco vs smokeless tobacco can see just how smokeless is a lifesaver and can benefit public health. Smokeless can reduced risk of oral cancer and other cancers compared to smoking, has a significantly lower death toll than smoking does, and the possibility of slowly quitting tobacco.
Electronic cigarettes were first introduced into the tobacco market in 2003. However, in the last few years, electronic cigarettes have been trending, especially among high school students. According to the Surgeon General study, “In 2015, 1 in 6 high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the last month”. The promotion and production of electronic cigarettes is an issue that must be addressed because they are attracting minors who may have never been addicted to nicotine prior to the introduction of e-cigarettes in the market. Companies have branded e-cigarettes as a ‘safer’ alternative to regular cigarettes, however, it is quite possible that consumers, more specifically the youth, are not well informed of the ingredients in them.
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.

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.
I found that electronic cigarettes contains more chemicals than the normal cigarettes. I also found that these chemicals cause lung damage. Some other chemicals in the flavors in EC can be turned to addiction which is the same as the normal cigarettes which doesn’t make it any better. The EC started to affect people 's life and my friend was one of them. What happen encouraged me to start my research again and see what does EC contains to harm people 's
