Ever since their introduction into the market, electronic cigarettes have raised a lot of questions with the health community. Electronic cigarettes have been both credited as a potential tool for people against smoking and deemed a gateway for folks to begin smoking again. Either way, the main question is whether or not e-cigarettes are harmful to the health of those who use them.
Mosts if not all e-cigarettes work the same way. On the inside theres a heatng lemnet, battery and a cartirdge which holds nicotineas and other liiquids that provide flavoring. By providing the user with nictine, it elimnates cigareette smoke and provide the user with vapor instead.
As I read this article, and continued my research on this topic, I have come to a decision. I disagree with the argument the electronic cigarettes will lead to the addictive use of traditional cigarettes. As more and more people purchase and use these electronic cigarettes, they become addicted to the artificial flavors of the e-juice and the nicotine, not the idea of traditional cigarettes. The multiple different flavors draw their attention, the nicotine is just the one thing they don’t pay as much attention to.

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
Vapour smokes are bad for you but they don’t have as much chemicals in them as tobacco smokes. There is different kinds of flavours so you can enjoy what you’re smoking. But the smokes still have nicotine in which makes it addictive. The e-cigarettes industry has almost out sold the regular smoke industry in under a decade. Think about it how long cigarettes have been selling for and now e-cigarettes have been selling for. People have been chewing and smoking tobacco for 2000 years and now under ten years e-smokes are out ruling the regular cigarettes business. There are already 460 brands of vapour smokes. Do people really think it’s better for you, would you like to have a rash or a burning sensation on your face or have bloody nose issues after you try to quit the e cigarette? I know I wouldn’t. What is the drawing card for these the flavors that you can buy or is it that they have less chemicals. But they still have the chemical that makes you most addictive nicotine. I thought that’s what we needed to decrease in cigarettes. The drawn card for all the e cigarettes were to remove all the blackening lung products but it is really evening out in

Electronic cigarettes are long tube-like devices that look like traditional cigarettes; some of them resemble a ballpoint pen. Electronic cigarettes are either going to save millions of lives by helping people quit smoking, or they are going to destroy millions of lives by luring children and young people into the habit. Electronic cigarettes provide the smoker with an experience like cigarette smoking and help smokers to quit more easily.

The electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) or more commonly known as electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes in short, has garnered worldwide recognition since being introduced to the market in 2004. The way e-cigarettes work is by using a heating element to heat up a solution that typically consists of propylene glycol or glycerol, nicotine and flavouring agents, causing the liquid to atomize into a vapour that is then inhaled thus delivering the nicotine and flavouring.

Have you ever noticed the increasing number of users of the electronic cigarettes? Electronic cigarettes (EC) use double every day. During my senior year in high school, I remember when the EC first came out into the market. I watched everyone trying it for the first time, both smokers and non-smokers. Some people thought that this was a safer way to smoke while others thought it was a great way for them quit smoking. The next day at school I saw teens, who had never smoked in their life, talking about it, and they wanted to try it. I knew that there was something wrong with electronic cigarettes, because everyone was ignoring its possible dangerous effects. When lunch time came, my friends and I were talking about the dangers associated with EC. One of my best-friends told us that he already purchased one. He went on to say that he tried it, and it was wonderful and tasty. He began to attempt at convincing us to try it, because he felt that it was safe.
