    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.…

    The main concern regarding the use of electronic cigarettes is that no one knows what ingredients or chemicals are in them. It's difficult to decide if they are safer than cigarettes if one doesn't have enough information to compare the two. Although there have not been enough studies conducted to know exactly how many chemicals are in electronic cigarettes, there have been 42 identified (Harmful Chemicals in Electronic Cigarettes). Out of the 42 identified chemicals, there are certain ones that are especially harmful such as acetaldehyde, acetone, cadmium, lead, and nicotine (Harmful Chemicals in Electronic Cigarettes). Besides these dangerous chemicals, there are others that emit second-hand smoke.…

    I think the tone of this article is questioning because this article includes both sides of the argument and there is still more data needs to be collected to make the final decision whether e-cigarettes help smokers kick their bad habits, or end up promoting tobacco use(Gebelhoff). In the article it said, “allow people to “smoke” nicotine-laced vapor instead of combustible, tobacco-based products” (Gelbelhoff). PubMed Health has stated that when you absorb nicotine it can help you quit smoking, therefore e-cigarettes have a positive side. On the other hand, national Institute on Drug Abuse has stated that e-cigarettes “can hurt arteries and increase the risk of heart disease” (Gelbelhoff). This topic is still questioned today and there is…

    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…
