    This causes all the positives compared to traditional cigarettes. Jed E Rose, the researcher in nication, said, “Yes they appear to be effective and safer”. When smoking cigarettes there are carcinogens released and inhaled into the lungs that are not exhaled. Electronic cigarettes do not have any problems like this, John Britton, director of the U.K. Center for Tobacco & Alcohol Studies at the University of Nottingham said, “research lays to rest almost all of the concerns over these products, and concludes that, with sensible regulation, electronic cigarettes have the potential to make a major contribution towards preventing the premature death, disease and social inequalities in health that smoking currently causes in the U.K”.

    In her paper, E-cigarettes abound in unproven health claims, Sarah Milov supported her claims with much more evidence than Amy Ridenour did in her paper, Vaping is not as bad as smoking. In her paper Ms. Milov supported her argument using strong evidence, while Ms. Ridenour misrepresented Ms. Milov’s position and used several fallacious statements in her arguments. Ms. Milov’s writing was much stronger. She opens by stating up front, that e-cigarette manufactures have created an industry based on unproven health claims. She then goes on to state the reasons for her concern, “16 million children can legally buy e-cigs and the nicotine based products that they deliver,” while noting that nicotine is an addictive drug that can be deadly if…

Though this might seem like it’s a reasonable evidence that e-cigarettes aren’t bad, but this survey was posted on an e-cigarette forum so it favors the use of e-cigarette. On the other side of the spectrum still concerning the survey said, “Twenty percent of those who indicated they were non-smokers at the time of initiating e-cigarette use reported that they now smoked conventional cigarettes” (Goniewicz, Lingas, and Hajek 2013).…

Sorrowfully, a toddler from New York died because the child ingested the liquid nicotine that is attached to e-cigarettes. The toddler was not smoking, the nicotine, but still passed away because the nicotine poisoned the child when they consumed the flavored liquid. The story isn’t the same for the other younger children because they are actually smoking it.

    I learned about E-cigs, and I switched. Gone are the heavy expenses, the hassles, the dirt and ash, the bad health risks, the offense to others, but I still LOVE vaping. There is a lot of propaganda out there trying to claim that E-cigs are just as bad as regular tobacco. It would be of interest to you to know that regular tobacco manufacturers are just some of the ones funding such nonsense, because the E-cig industry is cutting directly into THEIR profits. Meanwhile, they have the funds to push legislation which leave them the only ones in business.…

    E-cigarettes are a gateway for long term ex smokers or daily smokers which allows them to go back on smoking. A study issued in JAMA Pediatrics, discovered that people at a younger age who are already in the habit of smoking e-cigarettes are highly more anticipated to begin consuming conservative cigarettes within a year’s time likened to aristocracies who do not use e-cigarettes (Primack, Soneji, Stoolmiller, Fine, & Sargent, 2015). This proves that these smokers, in other terms use e-cigarettes as a loophole where they are exposed to higher rates of nicotine, which causes them to relapse back into smoking. Alongside with these, e-cigarettes expose young teenagers to freely buy them online and smoke them whenever they prefer. This is one way to get young teenagers into a dangerous nicotine lifestyle at a young age, because of the fact that e-cigarettes are considered a ‘healthier’ alternate, since study is yet to identify whether e-cigarettes can direct young individuals to attempt other tobacco products because of the potential unknown effects (Primack, Soneji, Stoolmiller, Fine, & Sargent, 2015).…

Supporters claim e-cigarettes provide a safer alternative; however, evidence proves the negative health effects. Thus, their reasoning fails.…

    Preview: Thanks to the modernization of electronic-cigarettes, the substitution of vaping versus traditional cigarettes has saved countless lives and is more accessible than ever. If the FDA is allowed to fully enforce their motives behind keeping vaping out and big tobacco in within the smoking industry. then healthier options will be minimized and nullified within the future. One possible reason the FDA wants complete control over the market is to ensure the US is still able to heavily reap from vape-related products, and it’s growing 10 billion-dollar industry, just as it does from the big tobacco industry. but this comes at the potential cost to the entire industry as a whole.…
