The Rising Popularity Of E Cigarettes

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.

Many smokers, like Sload, take their first puffs in college. Other students experiment with cigarettes in high school but start smoking heavily in college. Everyone I surveyed and interviewed is aware that smoking was responsible for the deaths of many people every year. They know it increased the risk of heart attack and stroke and adversely affects breathing and the lungs. And like smokers of any age, many college students are actively trying to quit. Mandie Sload knows that for or five cigarettes a day were four or five too many. She plans to quit someday. She understands that if she quits her breath will smell better;

A major issues we face today is how un-informed people are on the vaping world also known as e-cigarettes. For that I have chosen an article called America’s vaping revolution: How suspicious should we really be of the e-cigarette craze by Noah Charney posted on Sunday, Dec 7th, 2014. This article is about what e-cigarettes are, where they came from and their uses and effects that they can cause. I’m choosing this article because vaping (smoking E-cigarettes) is something that not a lot of people understand. Some people believe it is bad for you and that it won’t help stop smoking and that it can still cause health issues. Other things include the cost; some say it cost less than cigarettes and should e-cigs not be allowed in certain places. Most people are not informed about vaping on if it’s truly harmful or not they just assume it’s the same as smoking a cigarettes and that’s all it is but over the years it has changed a lot.

E-cigarettes have exploded onto the scene in the past three years. Whole stores dedicated to these devices have opened their doors to the public and business is thriving. E-cigarettes are battery-charged devices that have an atomizer, or heating element, in them to vaporize liquid nicotine. The user is able to inhale this vapor and get the nicotine without the other 4,000 chemicals present in tobacco cigarette smoke (Schroeder). Nicotine is a chemical that is produced by the tobacco plant. People have discovered that by smoking the leaves of a tobacco plant the nicotine in the leaves is delivered into the bloodstream. Nicotine by itself is not an awful drug as far as drugs go, although it is highly addictive, it is the tar in cigarettes that does so much damage. Tobacco use remains the number one preventable cause of death in the U.S. with 480,000 Americans dying prematurely from tobacco related disease. Kicking this habit remains difficult for most (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). Mark Twain once wrote “It’s easy to quit smoking, I’ve done it hundreds of times.”

People are lead to believe that electronic cigarettes do not contain tobacco and that they are safer than real cigarettes. Little do they know, electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigs, expose their inhalers to harmful and toxic gases that cause health problems and harm the lungs. In most cases the solvent in an e-cig is considered “food grading,” which means it should be safe enough to eat, but manufacturers are changing the configuration of the solvent so it contains both the flavoring and nicotine. As a person inhales, the flavored liquid flows through the e-cig and as it passes over hot coils the liquid changes into a gas. The more frequently an e-cig is used, the toxicity of the fumes increases. Nicotine is always added to the starting

Most often seniors in high schools can purchase cigarettes because they are 18, so they distribute them to underclassmen or friends. Nearly 21 percent of high schoolers in public schools smoke cigarettes, which would be about 3.13 million students (Preidt). My survey shows that only four percent, or two out of 49 people admit their addiction to cigarettes. The two students admitted that stress is their reasoning for why they began smoking and continue, but only one has support to end their need to smoke. While the student with assistance is continuing to smoke, they are attempting to stop; however, the effects of smoking are obviously severe (lung disease, cancer, bronchitis, etc.) and cannot continue. Cigarettes may be a partial stress reliever although the permanent and long-term effects should be proof enough that this addiction is a necessity to prevent in our high schoolers even if it is four

On the contrary to the general concept and motif behind the production of e-cigarettes, several studies have proven that these electronic devices that were created as an unassailable and riskless alternative to derail and overcome one’s cigarette addiction and dependency, happen to be equally as harmful and destructive as the nicotine infused drug. Maria Mironidou Tzouveleki, Evanthia Tzitzi, and Panagiotis Tzitzis stated “The vapour of e-cig contains toxic and dangerous substances as the smoke of conventional cigarette but in different quantities.” (Mironidou Tzouveleki, Tzitzi, 2015, p. 235.) Ever since e-cigarettes made their debut in the market back in 2003, researches had their doubts and implications about this particular substitutive

Many drugs are used, misused, and abused in American society today. Some of these carry stigma in the general population, forcing users into an underground drug subculture. Others are accepted and almost promoted under certain circumstances. Tobacco is one of those drugs. Tobacco will be discussed in the context of cigarette smoking. This is not to undermine the existence or danger of other forms of tobacco, but instead to have an exhaustive discussion of cigarette smoking and its societal impact. Cigarettes are a means of inhaling tobacco, where it enters the lungs and is absorbed through the blood vessels, traveling to the heart, from which it is finally pumped to the brain (Hogan, Gabrielsen, Luna, and Grothaus 2003:76). Cigarettes are detrimental to society because they not only affect the user who chooses to smoke; they impact people around them through second-hand and residual smoke. The damage done by cigarettes is not impossible to address. Successful prevention measures are already in place, but this paper intends to suggest other more direct measures, especially related to statutory regulations.

About 42 million Americans smoke spirits smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable death in the United States and the health benefits from stop smoking outweigh other smoking interventions. Existing smoking cessation programs have high failure rates if no nicotine replacement is being used, however, smokers who use nicotine replacement therapy or more likely to stop smoking than those without. So that brings us to electronic cigarettes a new growing trend which may prove to be an alternative to current replacement therapy products. In the United States electronic cigarettes are being advertised as a safe alternative to tobacco products, even though they are not currently regulated by the FDA. Although, electronic cigarettes have not been proven as a viable alternative to other smoking cessation products, there is evidence people are using them for nicotine replacement therapy. It is estimated that e- cigarettes have become more prolific than any other traditional NRT product. The goal of this research paper is to look at:

It is great that Florida legislation proposed a bill to include e-cigarettes and vaping into their smoking ordinance. I am a hospice nurse and wonder what the effect will be on people who choose to use e-cigarettes as opposed to regular cigarettes. Both contain nicotine. So I agree that using a preventative measure by revising the smoking ordinance will protect public health. Unfortunately, it will probably be many years before we know about the harm and danger that come from e-cigarettes and vaping.

David Byrne, a Scottish musician and songwriter, once said “The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror- not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.” Before 1964 when it became public that smoking is harmful and unhealthy, everybody smoked; including children under the age of twelve. Cigarettes have gotten restrictions on their sales, but a certain cigarette has not. These “modified” cigarettes are called e-cigarettes. They are electronically powered and vaporize liquid nicotine. Many people think that e-cigarettes differentiate from original tobacco cigarettes in numerous ways which is why these electronic devices are sold to the public without any restrictions. According to my research

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.

While more research on electronic cigarettes is necessary, there’s significant evidence that e-cigarettes are helping many people. Further, there’s no evidence that non-smokers, such as children, are choosing to use e-cigarettes as a gateway to regular cigarettes. To compare e-cigarettes to tobacco just as a precaution is incorrect, harmful and immoral when millions of people have the chance to move away from the known and severe harms of smoking

According to Fairchild et al. (2004), even though the concept of “safer” cigarettes received support from federal and voluntary institutions in the 1980s, there have been contrasting ideas about this topic especially between physicians and public health professionals today. The advent of electronic cigarettes has therefore elicited varied reactions among major players both in the health sector and cigarette manufacturing industry. Electronic cigarettes are basically battery-operated devices that simulate traditional tobacco cigarettes and are designed in such a way that they transmit a nicotine vapor that is usually inhaled (Novack para 2).

In fact, the tobacco industry has suffered ever since antismoking advertising has begun (Johnston, p. 107). According to statistics, 4 in every 10 Americans who are in 12th grade have tried cigarettes, and 1 in 10 consider themselves current smokers. As well as, 1 in 5, 8th graders have tried cigarettes, and 1 in 16 consider themselves current smokers (Johnston, p. 107). Now that society is aware of the harms of tobacco, it is important to decrease such rates of smoking amongst youth. Not only are there commercials about the risks of cigarette smoking, but also there are commercials that promote living above the influence of all drugs, including alcohol and marijuana. Lastly, as research continues to improve, and new drugs arise it is important to keep youth educated on the risks of using such drugs. It is important to keep our youth safe from the dangers of
