E-cigarettes have been around for up to 10 years, and have only grown in popularity since then. Because of this rapid growth in popularity, there 's been controversy about whether or not they 're safe. Extending from their unknown risk, is the situation about whether or not they should be allowed in public, as well as the fact that they don 't have much if any restrictions legally. E-cigarettes should be allowed in public, and while some restrictions are deemed necessary, they are much safer than tobacco cigarettes and shouldn 't be viewed as the same thing. E-Cigarettes are a much healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes, they help wean smokers off of tobacco cigarettes, and their health risks compared to tobacco cigarettes are practically …show more content…
This is one of the reasons why they shouldn’t be as restricted, or even close to as restricted as cigarettes have become. They were created to be healthier than tobacco cigarettes, and they most definitely are. There’s plenty of support that shows they really are healthier than tobacco cigarettes. Extending from that, there was a study conducted by the Public Health England organization published in August of 2015. The review was an extensive one, showing that E-Cigarettes are much healthier than tobacco cigarettes. (Choices) An article summarized the review into several key points. One of the most notable points shows why E-Cigarettes shouldn’t be restricted in public places: “E-Cigarettes release negligible amounts of nicotine into the environment, and no health risks to bystanders (e.g. passive smoking) have been identified. Besides this study, there was another scientific study conducted by a man named Francis J. Offermann, an Indoor Environmental Engineering scientist. (Offermann) Offermann used the nicotine content in the air of a home where someone smokes E-Cigarettes, and compared it to the nicotine content from a home where the only cigarettes smoked were tobacco. “…the average (geometric mean) indoor airborne concentrations of nicotine were 5.7 times …show more content…
A very common argument would include a psychological approach, claiming that the nice smell from the vapor would cause others to want to smoke an E-Cigarette as well. But really, this isn’t the case in this situation whatsoever. The important thing to the situation, is self-control. If anyone really did their research, they’d find that E-Cigarettes are very often used for helping tobacco cigarette smokers either ween off smoking altogether, and that their main selling point is to help with the health risk of tobacco cigarettes. While some don’t realize it, everyone should know that there isn’t much benefit to E-Cigarettes besides being a healthier alternative. In a sense, it’s almost like candy. Most people, while they understand that candy is delicious, also understand that if they eat a large amount of it, they have to pay for it and they’d probably end up getting sick while there isn’t much benefit besides the taste of the candy. It requires simple self-control to not eat loads of candy, and costing yourself. The same argument could be said for E-Cigarettes; people would want to try it because it smells good, but it still costs the smoker money, and they’re probably doing it for themselves because of their old habits they’re trying to quit. So, when it’s said that
E-cigarettes have heating elements that are battery operated and hold cartridges of nicotine and other liquids and flavoring. They were produced to assist those who are trying to quit smoking or reduce the amount of nicotine that is actually inhaled in the body to make it a safer product for the consumer than actually smoking a cigarette. There is controversy on whether or not this product promotes a safer nicotine habit or stimulates someone to begin smoking habits. Most importantly, those who do not smoke at all are concerned whether or not the secondhand smoke emitted from these devices is harmful for those who do not wish to inhale nicotine products. There are states laws that restrict smoking in public areas and now the question is should e-cigarettes be restricted in public areas as well?
Others might say that E-cigs are just nothing but water vapor and can’t harm you. But, what they don’t know is that it’s more than just water vapor there is a lot of poisonous chemicals involving the liquid. Electronic cigarettes shouldn’t be outlawed because they are beneficial for regular cigarette smokers. Some people believe that e cigs are not
If a loved one died around you due to a smoking addiction, how would you feel knowing that E-cigarettes could have helped him quit? Smoking is a huge problem that some people have to deal with everyday. It’s an addiction that isn’t easily broken by most people. Not only is it a problem among adults, but some teenagers become trapped at a young age and make it harder for them to quit as well. E-cigarettes were introduced to help people quit smoking in a safe and effective way. E-cigarettes should be regulated to help any smokers, young or old, to quit smoking, safely and effectively. The health benefits and potential to quit smoking is something that shouldn’t be ignored or overlooked. Regulating the E-cigarettes at a younger age can help teens change and help them quit smoking before it really affects them as they grow up.
Electronic cigarettes have been a massive hit lately in the U.S. market. E-cigarettes do not technically produce smoke, but they do produce vapor and are not much different from ordinary cigarettes. Even though e-cigarette may be considered safer than regular cigarettes it still contains nicotine and other chemicals that are harmful to the human body. E-cigarettes can be a positive measure opposite of tobacco products, but in the long run it is no different than regular cigarettes and could lead to negative outcomes. Thus, e-cigarettes should be restricted, regulated, and be treated as “regular cigarettes.”
... for people to quit smoking. This change would give current smokers of traditional cigarettes a new, more attractive and possibly more effective, way to quit smoking. Over 50 researchers and specialists signed a letter to the World Health Organization stating that electronic cigarettes have the potential to save hundreds of millions of lives (McWatt). Due to this, e-cigarettes should be readily accepted in the world. However, use by minors should still not be condoned, as e-cigarettes can potentially pose as a gateway to traditional tobacco smoking. Electronic cigarettes should also be permitted for use in public areas, since it has been proven that they are not of considerable harm to the environment. The new option of electronic cigarettes has presented an opportunity to bring an end to the harm caused by traditional cigarettes that has been going on for centuries.
“To me, as a physician, when 1.78 million of our high school kids have tried an e-cigarette, and a lot of them are using them regularly … that’s like watching someone harm hundreds of thousands of children.” by Tom Frieden. This quote grabs my attention because it associates with electronic cigarettes that are targeting teenagers as a consumer to get big profits for their company to keep going on business. Some teens nowadays are using e-cigarettes as a daily routine in their life. Teenagers are easily drawn to a material or movement that is trending worldwide. Teens usually would buy the new thing that comes out to the market that is popular. Teens lungs are fragile to e-cigarettes because it exposes tar and pollution to their lungs and at

L., Reboussin, B. A., Debinski, B., Wagoner, K. G., Spangler, J., and Wolfson, M. made a conclusion that people who have tried e-cigarettes in college did not discourage them from cigarette smoking and most likely contributed to the factor of continuing to smoke. Thus, it’s an issue that is well known that even though people have no history of ever using e-cigarettes, they have thought about trying it out for the first time and if given the opportunity to try it out, they would take the offer. According to the long study in 7 different colleges between fall 2010 and fall 2013 that was conducted by Sutfin, E. L., Reboussin, B. A., Debinski, B., Wagoner, K. G., Spangler, J., and Wolfson, M. in 2015, people were still trying e-cigarettes and there was a most likely chance of them starting to smoke cigarettes, as were their friends smoking cigarettes, and other use of tobacco. Even though all variables were being controlled, this did not stop the college students from trying out
Electronic cigarettes have a coil that heats the liquid into vapor. This method of eliminating cigarette smoking is more convenient for people in this day because there are shops that do sell these electronic cigarettes. Since they are convenient, it is increasingly popular worldwide and more smokers might be thinking to make the switch. With this method, smokers can reduce the cigarette consumption and continue to have the “smoking” experience with less heath risks. Although there is not too much research on it smokers should make the switch because it is healthier and cleaner for the environment. When you take a puff on the electronic cigarette, the battery heats up the nicotine, which creates vapor that is then inhaled into the lungs. Smokers should be allowed to smoke electronic cigarettes in public, also known as “vaping”, because it is safer and won’t cause a fire as fast as a cigarette would. Although it does have a battery and batteries can explode due to having the battery being used for a long period of time. You would be able to notice it getting hot before it actually catches on fire, due to the heat it is producing. There are now new
... what the long term effects are to the human body, and the FDA needs to put a distribution policy in place where minors will not be able to buy an e-cigarette. All of these things must occur soon to save many lives and people how are about to make a big mistake. E-cigarettes are an unsafe alternative to cigarettes.
I think that e-cigarettes can be a good tool for some people in being able to help them cut back and hopefully quit smoking entirely. I think that this type of device does help smokers to be able to slowly wean themselves off of cigarettes by still having the familiar habit of bringing a cigarette to their mouth while they gradually lessen the amount of nicotine that they consume. I also feel though that because of the fun flavors available like bubble gum and bacon that this does create an enticement for kids and teenagers to want to try them, and this could lead to them adding the nicotine and thus becoming addicted. I have concerns over the health safety of e-cigarettes, yes they are probably much better than smoking actual cigarettes, but what about the vaping chemicals do they have health risks that are unknown to us at this time?
On the one hand, e-cigarettes hold the promise to save the lives of many smokers who switch to them; while on the other hand, they present mammoth risks to the society.
Almost everyone knows the health risks involved with smoking tobacco. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) give habitual smokers the most promising results of tobacco reduction or cessation.

Everyone knows that cigarettes are horrible for your health and increase your risks of cancer. Not too long ago there was a big advertisement for e-cigarettes also known as vaping. It was advertised to be a healthier alternative and comparable to a nicotine patch to help you quit smoking. Many people began to question this new form of smoking and if it was really a safer alternative. Even though vaping is a safer alternative than smoking, vaping is not harmless because you are still getting nicotine, inhaling poison and risking a weaker immune system.
