Traditional cigarettes contain between 4,000 and 7,000 harmful chemicals, many of which are produced by the tobacco and smoke. Since e-cigarettes use vapor technology, they expose users to fewer carcinogens. Some studies show e-cigarettes can be effective in smoking cessation. In multiple studies and surveys, e-cigarettes have been shown to potentially help smokers to reduce their habit or to quit altogether. One New Zealand study showed e-cigarettes to be as effective as nicotine patches. The second-hand effects are far less harmful than traditional cigarettes. Though second-hand vapor exists, the levels of smoke and secondhand effects of “vaping” are magnitudes lower than traditional smoking. They are more socially acceptable and do not smell. E-cigarettes provide the same experience and sensation for smokers – particularly those with nicotine habits – but can be used in far more places. They do not leave a sticky, unpleasant odor and do not stain teeth or fingernails.…

According to many medical sources, electronic cigarettes and vaping contain some form of nicotine and cancer-causing toxins, but it does not have as much as tobacco does. The only reason that they are becoming popular is because of the different flavors that can be used such as cotton candy, watermelon, and many others. Several advertisements especially…

Cigarettes are a mixture of the most dangerous substances for humans to consume and yet they are legal and mass produced so that everyone can smoke them. Marijuana on the other hand is nowhere nearly as harmful as cigarettes but is illegal and looked at as if it were far worse than cigarettes.

I just turned 18 recently and the two places I haven’t been that I am now able to are 1) the hookah bar or 2) the strip club. I didn’t think going to the strip club would be an appropriate topic for this paper. Therefore, I was left with option number one.…
