If you receive your news and information from traditional sources of media, such as television or newspapers, then you have more than likely seen a story similar to “Electronic Cigarette Disaster: Child Wounded” or “Electronic Cigarettes Are Targeting Our Children.” News channels, such as Fox News, capitalize on the rare instances of device malfunctions, which result in minor explosions, and cherry-pick the scientific studies that agree with their opinion on electronic cigarettes.

III. Reasons that Go Against My Position The e-cigarette industry, the tobacco industry, their supporters and other researchers have an opposing point of view that e-cigarettes are an effective stop smoking aide and should be promoted as an effective tool in reducing tobacco product related deaths. The biggest piece of data that they repeatedly claim as evidence that supports their claims and point of view is a 2010-2012 survey of smokers in Hawaii that came to the conclusion that smokers who tried e-cigarettes as a NRT, were more serious about quitting smoking than others who had not.
