A cigarette has been an essential stress-relieving tool to many people even with the health risks and environmental damages cigarette is causing. However, in the past three years, the electronic cigarette has taken over on regular cigarette production. “People all over the world are making that switch from cigarettes to electronic cigarettes” (Healy 1). Electronic cigarette has been taking over in the past couple of years because of its positive reputation among the society that it tastes better, smells better, and less harmful to the smoker and the surroundings. However, not many have been educated about the electronic cigarette and its benefits toward the environment and human’s health. Because of the environmental damages and the health …show more content…
Smokers should know that there is a healthier choice to smoke to make the choice whether to switch or not. Most of the smokers who tried electronic cigarette made the switch after experiencing the feeling of smoking it and knowing the positive things in the electronic cigarette that is missed in tobacco. Moreover, tobacco should be banned in public due to the high rate of second hand smoke victims that got affected by the smoke and caused them serious health risks. The society must be aware of this problem and should not be quiet when they see a smoker smoking in a public place and harming someone surrounding him. Also, offering electronic cigarette to a smoker would help reducing the rate of tobacco smokers because not many have experienced smoking electronic cigarette and this could be the call for the switch for the smoker. Finally, CASAA and SFATA are non-profit organizations that share the same goal, which is reducing the rate of smoking tobacco, and support any alternatives to smoking, including electronic cigarette. Both companies have educated the public and increased awareness about the benefits of tobacco alternatives. They have achieved their goals through donations and support of people. Supporting these two big organizations would help and reinforce the reduction of
Everyone always wants to be with the latest trend, and as many celebrities and magazine ads have pictures of vaping, electronic cigarettes have become a "trend”. People are largely unaware of the emergency risks of vaping. According to a study by Mitch Zeller he states, “I can say definitely, that nicotine is harmful to a developing teenage brain. And no teenager, no young person. should be using any tobacco or nicotine-containing products”. Unlike true cigarettes, electronic cigarettes do not have
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
Based on these there 's topics I hope that I will convince you to outlaw cigarette and Tobacco
The e-cigarette format, however, does not eliminate concerns regarding public and individual health risks. The World Health Organization has called for e-cigarette usage to be monitored in the same way as more conventional tobacco products,(23) the US FDA is advocating for more research,(24) and there has been a dramatic increase in analyses of the chemical, physiological, psychological and socio-cultural aspects of e-cigarettes.(2-7,9-12,14-21,24-52)
Smoking is an addiction that can risk one’s health, which in turn can lead to death. As time advances, both smokers and non-smokers are beginning to understand the harm in this deadly habit because not only does it harm smokers, it can impact anyone who encounters the smoke second-hand. Since the public has become aware of the health risks induced by smoking, cessation tools such as nicotine replacement therapy are being invented to help terminate the desire to smoke. As technology improves, smoking devices like the electronic cigarette are invented and can be considered an effective cessation tool. Electronic cigarettes can deliver low doses of nicotine to ease withdrawal symptoms. Furthermore, as electronic cigarettes increase in
It wasn't long ago that there were still a few people that didn't know what electronic cigarettes were. It suddenly seemed as if overnight, people found out what electronic cigarettes were and if they were smokers, they quickly started buying them up after they got over their initial hesitations.
For as long as e-cigarettes have been around the market of cigarettes alike, the controversy of whether or not e-cigs should be regulated from advertisement has been alive almost as much as the light of electric cigarettes themselves. To add on to this debate myself, e-cigarettes are bad for the public and should therefore not be advertised on television, radio, or other forms of media devices. These advertisements can influence minors to try e-cigs, influence use of nicotine, and defies the purpose of regulations on cigarettes in general. E-cigarettes are bad for the health of an average human being, and with the advertisement of e-cigs, it influences the people to inject themselves with the many poisonous, harming chemicals in e-cigarettes
One of the largest and most problematic health issues in our society is smoking. Smoking is currently the leading cause of death in our country, due to its harmful and addicting contents, such as nicotine and tobacco. Although millions die from it each year, smoking is the single most preventable cause of death as well. Without smoking, a tremendous amount of money and lives will be saved. I think that our country should ban smoking and the production of cigarettes in order to maintain a healthier nation, help save the environment, and prevent the almost 1000 deaths that they cause in fires each year.
As stated by Eleanor Roosevelt, “One 's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.” Everybody has a myriad choices in life. Some choices are better than others, and some are the worst choices one could have possibly chosen. The choices of one may work in one’s favor, or one’s choices may work in contrariety of one’s goals altogether. Electronic cigarettes, also called e-cigarettes or e-cigs, are an alternative choice to smoking actual cigarettes. Whether e-cigarettes should be regulated is a controversial topic among the people of the world today. A few people withhold the beliefs that electronic cigarettes should not be regulated as regular cigarettes are. It is possible that they believe that the regulation will lead to the prohibition or cease of smoking wholly. However, speaking as a candor person, one may say that these people are blind to the potential harms that the lack of regulation could create and that the lack of regulation may actually be causing electronic cigarettes to work in opposition of the purpose they are mostly used for. E-cigarettes are proven to not to have the same detrimental effects as regular cigarettes, however they are potently harmful, with different and serious consequences. The regulations would not be banning electronic cigarettes; the regulations are working to protect the health and well-being of everyone.
Smoking is an expensive habit. People who smoke cigarettes can spend as much as $2,500 a year on them. Smokers’ claim that it helps relax them and it releases stress but the negative aspects of smoking outweigh the positive. Smoking is a health hazard for smokers and non-smokers. Smokers should have the right to choose what to do with their own health but they should respect non-smokers. Many people believe that there are good and bad outcomes from smoking. I believe that smoking is bad and that it should be banned.
E-cigarettes appear as an innocent alternative to the real thing but the Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory identifying the “volatile” substances in the device and its emitted smoke may not be that harmless after all (“FDA: Second-Hand Smoke From E-Cigarettes May Be Harmful To Your Health”, 2013). Electronic cigarettes contain organic substances including propylene glycol, flavors, and nicotine which are emitted as a mist into the air in enclosed areas. FDA studies show that these microscopic liquid particles have the possibility of penetrating deep into our lungs. Also cited by the FDA in a German publication on electronic cigarettes shows
People consider the contemporary society in which we live to be the most advanced in comparison to those in the past. A major component to why our society is considered to be developing is because of the technological apparatuses at our disposal. However, others would also consider that technology has a negative impact on the way society functions. For example, e-cigarettes have been placed in the spotlight for whether or not they are an invention that helps or hinders the lives of individuals and society as a whole. The use of e-cigarettes is becoming more and more common, especially in the United Kingdom, (Dockrell, Morison, Bauld, & McNeill, 2013) which is why it is a hot topic to discuss in today’s modern society. Even in the United States, more than 38% of tobacco smokers have tried to use an alternative method, with the most common being the e-cigarette (Popova & Ling, 2013). The modern e-cigarette was invented in 2003 by Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, who wanted to assist smokers in bettering their health (Grana, Benowitz, & Glantz, 2014). In Canada, smoking tobacco cigarettes has caused many health related problems because close to six million people smoke these products in 2013 (Statistics Canada, 2014).
The banning of public use of electronic cigarettes in Los Angeles seem to be harmless yet it may lead American tobacco smokers to revisit their old habits. Electronic cigarettes pose a small threat to American health yet pose a large threat to a multimillion dollar industry. The ingenuity for the creation of electronic cigarettes take away customers from greedy business men, the competition between both industries mislead many politicians into viewing electronic cigarettes as a threat. Previous facts from tobacco industries ignite fear and uncertainty of the future with the growing popularity of electronic cigarettes.
E-cigarette is believed to greatly reduce on the health effects associated with tobacco smoking. However, e-cigarette has been criticized as a leading cause of smoking among the youth due to its flavor as well as its novel appearance and campaigns. It is also believed to pose some health risks. Despite such drawbacks, e-cigarette has recently gained a lot of popularity and subsequent growth.
Cigarette smoking is something people all over the world have been doing for about 2000 years. Back in 2003, the first electronic cigarette was successfully created by a gentleman named Hon Lik. Lik was a 52 year old pharmacist at the time, whom of which was also a smoker. The inspiration behind making the electronic cigarette came after Lik’s father passed away from lung cancer due to him also being a heavy smoker. “A Historical Timeline of Electronic Cigarettes.” cassia.org. Consumer Advocates for Smoke Free Alternatives Association, 15 June 2017. The idea behind creating this device was to give smokers a way to still ingest nicotine, the most addictive chemical in tobacco cigarettes, without the countless negative health effects that
