Smoking is clearly bad for you, whether it is electronic cigarette or not. But, it is said that these are better for you because they don't release smoke, instead it gives of a vapor type gas. They can contain nicotine, carcinogens, and other harmful substances. "The increased use of e-cigarettes by teens is deeply troubling," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a statement. Smoking is responsible for 440,000 deaths per year, and though not all of these could be caused by the new product, the e-cigarettes, a decent amount was. They are also targeting the younger market of kids, making flavors like chocolate and bubble gum, which could be easily tied to kids. It may also be easier for kids to keep them a secret as they may not give off a strong smell like regular cigarettes, and also the parents could think it is a pen or something, as it doesn't really look like a cigarette. This could cause kids to try them at a younger age and get kids hooked them at a younger age which would cause more deaths in the future. in the article it said that 1.8% of 6-8 graders and 2.8% of grades 9-12 are using e-cigarettes, and this number is rising as we speak as more flavors and changes come out which will lead to more addictions and deaths. In conclusion, no cigarette should be smoked, and no e-cigarettes should be smoked as well, seeing how they both are causing harm to both young and old people, and both have cancer causing agents.
