Abstract
Electronic cigarettes have been around for about a decade. No one is sure of what havoc they can cause yet because of how new they are in existence. Throughout the past years more and more issues have been arising from this product that was originally assumed to be harmless. Now we are faced with the question are they really as safe as we thought or should increase investigation to see what they are really capable of. So far researchers have discovered many issues with the electronic cigarettes and every month more and more issues begin the surface the air. From explosion to toxic material. These issues will not only affect their

There are many more harms which can be caused by the Electronic cigarettes. To make electronic cigarettes less harmful to the body there should be more battery installment and charging instructions, removal of carcinogens and other toxic chemicals in the electronic cigarettes and the removal of poisonous metals.
Electronic cigarettes will primarily harm the cigarettes users. Users use the cigarette through the process of vaping. According to the oxford dictionary (Oxford University Press, 2015) vaping is to Inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device.” Secondhand vaping harms anyone around the vaper. Second hand vape can be voluntary or involuntary”(TreatTobacco.net, 2015).
Jennifer jean a Registered nurse that has experienced the effects of traditional cigarettes especially on some of her older patients, believes that the electronic cigarettes will eventually end up being like the traditional cigarettes. The traditional cigarettes were once believed to be one hundred percent safe until they did research and investigation and then and all the different health issues began to arise in the smokers.There will soon be ads against the use of the electronic cigarettes just they what they currently have to haalt traditional cigarette smoking.
History of electronic cigarettes
In 2003 the electronic cigarette is first developed in Beijing, China by Hon Lik, a 52 year old pharmacist, inventor and smoker. In 2007 Electronic
The severity of the health problems that come from smoking e-cigarettes are that we are still unaware of what exactly do these electronic devices contain. At it is stated in the article “Drug Facts: Electronic Cigarettes” that they contain different amounts of nicotine, flavoring, and other unknown chemicals. With these unknown chemicals, we are unaware of what can be the consequences or risks are with long-term consumption of using e-cigs. There are over “400,000 deaths each year in the United States” at a cause from smoking and inhaling nicotine; yet the worst risks are the development of cancer and heart diseases (Drug
Many argue that e-cigarettes decreases the chance of developing lung cancer. The good and bads of these devices have seen a significant amount of attention from both health experts and the
E-cigarettes are short for electronic cigarettes. They are used to deliver chemicals that contain flavor and other harmful substances such as nicotine and various chemicals. The means of delivery to the user is through a vapor. The vapor is created by and internal heat heat source. After the liquid has been vaporized it is inhaled by the user. This hot liquid alone can pose serious external damage to your skin. It has been reported that some e-cigarettes have malfunctioned and exploded in the users face, causing severe burns up to second degree (Chen, 1).
Those who oppose will argue that electronic cigarettes are not safe. Long term health effects have not been tested and further research is required. Electronic cigarettes are currently unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration and have no manufacturing regulations. The natural flavor additives added to electronic cigarettes may pose a risk when heated adding in unknown chemicals. Some electronic cigarettes contain high powered
Today the biggest question is, “Are they harmful?” Electronic Cigarettes are being tested and thoroughly examined to identify the helpful and hazardous effects they may have. Most importantly, they are being compared to traditional cigarettes to determine whether or not they are a safe alternative for smokers. According to the Food and Drug Administration, there are trace amounts of toxic and carcinogenic ingredients found in several cartridge samples of e-cigarettes. The FDA tried to regulate them as drug delivery devices; however, a federal judge ruled in 2010 that it lacked such authority, so the FDA is currently moving to regulate them as tobacco products (Feldman, 2014).
Each month, the scientific literature surrounding e-cigarettes grows and shows that the e-cigarette causes less harm than smoking. We have seen more than 150 published scientific studies associated with
There is a new product called electronic cigarettes available that are supposed to help people fight their addiction to cigarettes. It is a battery powered device that heats a nicotine diluted solution into a vapor and then it is inhaled. They are seen as a healthier, and affordable alternative to tobacco cigarettes. It is much safer because it does not have as many harmful chemicals as tobacco cigarettes and it is more affordable for consumers. Unfortunately, electronic cigarettes are
E-Cigarettes have become the latest talk in replacing traditional cigarette smoking, especially internationally. Doctors and individuals now are being persuaded into thinking e-cigarettes are a better substitute for smoking, and some doctors are even suggesting e- cigarettes to their patients. Yet, a growing amount of research is suggesting that e-cigarettes have not been proven to be safe, and have been
Electronic cigarettes have became extremely popular almost overnight it seems. These devices have worked their way into people’s everyday lives and are continuing to get even more popular. E-cigs are so popular because they do not have near as many chemicals as cigarettes, one can pick the flavor of their liking, and the smoke does not stink as traditional tobacco cigarette smoke does. In most places e-cigarette shops have been opened and are now selling regulated devices. In a battle between cigarettes and e-cigs, e-cigs are winning in sales and in popularity. Smoking is a dangerous habit causing countless problems in society; however, to curb this trend, smokers may resort to electronic cigarettes, as they help people stop smoking tobacco, promote better health, and satisfy their nicotine addictions.
Compared with cigarette, e-cig is also a lot more environmentally friendly. Studies conducted by the University of Colorado shows that normal cigarette produces 12 time the thin air-debris that e-cig produces. From an individual perspective, the environmental damage of both e-cig and cigarette is almost negligible. However, from a global perspective, e-cig is significantly less harmful than
Electronic cigarettes are a huge product on the market right now, with nearly over 300 different brands. All of the brands are on the market without FDA evaluation or government oversight; which means it is difficult to know the chemical make-up and the safety of this device. E-cigarettes are known to be an electronic nicotine delivery system that allows users to inhale aerosol vapor that contains nicotine and other chemicals. A heating element within the e-cigarette heats the main component of the e-cigarette known as the e-liquid which allows for the releasing of the chemical filled aerosol. The aerosol vapor e-cigarette contains nicotine and many other substances.
Not surprisingly, as one of the most trusted sources of health information, physicians are increasingly being asked by their patients about the safety of these products. Only few studies are available about the health effects of e-cigarettes and the investigations have suggested that there is a cytotoxic effect of several e-liquids presence in e-cigarette. However, the significance of the results is limited[5]. Further studies are required in order to determine more clearly perceptions and use practices of
E-cigarette is known to have less health risk than regular cigarettes because it uses vaporization instead of combustion and when set at the low temperature, the atomizer does not release cigarette toxicants. This mean the health risks are similar to those from smokeless tobacco, which is about 1% of the mortality risk of smoking. While e-cigarette may contain chemicals, the quantity is low and not sufficient enough for user to be exposed to harmful levels of toxins or cause cancer according to the toxicological testing done by researcher. Although it contains nicotine, there has not been any evidence indicating that non-smokers are going to purchase or will purchase e-Cigarette and become addicted to nicotine. Yet, even if 50% of the non-smoking
The researchers conclude that using the electronic cigarettes and tabacco cigarettes are very harmful especially in the case of human health. The researchers also conclude that smoking E-cigarettes or also called "Vape" is not safe at all. E-cigarette contains Nicotine which is addictive as the same in cigarette which is not good for people with heart problems and it can also damage unborn babies that is why Women that is pregnant should not use anything with nicotine it also contains formaldehyde which is used in building material and another ingredient for antifreeze that can cause cancer. In cigarette smoking the researchers conclude that it can harm every organ of the body it can also cause many disease which can reduces the health of smokers.
