Vaping and Tobacco Cigarettes

In the recent past, Electronic cigarettes gave become popular among all age groups. Primarily, e-cigarettes are battery-powered devices filled with liquid nicotine dissolved in water and propylene glycol. Most of them look like the conventional cigarette with a white cylindrical tube, brown filter and a red shining tip, but they do not contain tobaccoa vapor that is inhaled into the lungs. As such, this essay discusses my support for vaping as a substitute for the conventional cigarettes.

Aside from the risks associated with tobacco tar, kit and refills to use, the monthly average cost for vaping goes down. The cost goes down to about 30 dollars a month, which is a 150 dollars saving in a month, 1740 dollars a year or 17400 dollars over a ten year period.

Apart from the above reasons, conventional cigarette smoking is associated with other problems including bad breath and bad smell on smokers’ clothes. In addition, it leads to decreased ability to play sports, or physical activities because of breathing problems resulting from the tar lining left in the lungs after continuous use of tobacco cigarettes. Furthermore, tobacco smoking is also associated with increased risk of bone fractures and men develop problems having an erection, as well as sore throat and stained teeth all of which result from by tobacco cigarette smoking.

In rebuttal, claims have been made that there are e-cigarettes contain chemicals that are harmful to the human body. While this is true, nearly all of the millions of products we use daily contain toxic chemicals. For example, even the now very popular cell phone we use daily has been found to be harmful to the human body. Critics of e-cigarettes go fur

However, despite the strong support for e-cigarettes, I am against the e-cigarettes adverts and marketing strategies. E-cigarette companies have embarked on a media campaign where they are targeting adults as well as children claiming to help smokers quit while promoting lollipop flavored liquids that are attractive to children. These unwarranted adverts are targeting children air on television and radio with many of the adverts featuring celebrity adverts. While adults can make informed decisions on the use of the e-cigarette, children should not be exposed to them. It is, therefore, wrong for the e-cigarette manufacturers to expose children to the cigarettes through the adverts.

In conclusion, it is clear from the essay that the use of e-cigarettes or vaping is safer and healthier than the conventional cigarettes. Fundamentally, this is because they do not contain the all-harmful tobacco making them safe even for second-hand smokers. In addition, the e-cigarettes are much cheaper to use as compared to the conventional cigarettes. Finally, vaping provides users with the option of choosing from a wide range of flavors, which makes them more enjoyable to use. It is the above factors that make me support the use of the e-cigarette.
