Summary: A Study conducted by researchers at KU Leven showed that people who smoke E-Cigarettes after smoking regular tobacco cigarettes are less interested to Tobacco. In the study, researchers had 3 groups of 16 people, with one group smoking only Tobacco cigarettes and the other two smoking both. After, the group only smoking Tobacco were given E-Cigarettes, where they discovered that 21% stopped smoking Tobacco, while 23% cut that number in half. Overall, the E-Cigarettes help cut 60% of Tobacco cigarettes smoked. However, E-Cigarettes still have Nicotine, which is common in Cigarettes that makes you addicted
Connection: This Relates to Health Class because we were talking about the dangers of Smoking and Addiction. We were learning how addiction forms and what smoking/drugs do to your body and how it affects your health.

E-Cigreattes are safer but i would not recommend using E-Cigarettes because they still contain nicotine, and if i have to chose one i would chose E-cigarettes because i have to and they contain less nicotine then an actual cigarette.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose I would choose E-cigarettes because they're way safer than normal cigarettes but I still wouldn't trust E-cigarettes that much because they still have nicotine in it and can get you addicted.
ReplyDeleteI think if i were to use cigarettes i would use E-cigarettes because they are a lot safer for your body then normal cigarettes. I still would not trust E-cigarettes because with todays world and business they would rather make money and make you addicted then put safe materials in their product. I believe that the only way to have a safe cigarette with no hidden features is to make your own cigarettes.
ReplyDeleteIf I used cigarettes I would do E-cigarettes because they are better for your body. They still can get people addicted. I agree with Dante the only way to make a safe cigarette is to make it your self because you know what is in it. When people make them you have no clue what is going into them.Bisnuess are all about making money.
ReplyDeleteI think that E-Cigarettes are probably better than cigarettes, but honestly I really wouldn't choose either because both are putting so many chemicals into both your body and the air.
ReplyDeleteE-cigarettes may not contain tobacco, but overall have the same mental effect as the normal cigarettes. What the aforementioned percentages mean is that people who where addicted to the tobacco cigarettes can now move on to a "healthier" alternative. The E-cigs are the modernized version of the generic cigarette and although it may be healthier, it is still addictive.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I find E-cigarettes are as bad as a regular cigarette, that neither are safe or good for your health. And If I were made to choose, I would choose the E-cigarette because its more commercialized and is now in a popular demand with this society's adolescents.
ReplyDeleteWhile E-Cigarettes are healthier than regular cigarettes I wouldn't choose either because they both contain harsh and dangerous chemicals.
ReplyDeleteI personally would never want to even try a cigarette no matter what kind it is. If I had too I would probably choose E-Cigarettes because according to this study they are more healthy towards the body. Also they may be little bit safer. But like I there is no way to prevent nicotine addiction other than not smoking. Even though E-cigarettes may be better for our bodies that normal ones, I will still never smoke.
ReplyDeleteEven though there is improvement in some people doesn't mean its healthier. It can still cause addiction because of the nicotine. E Cigarettes may be slightly safer but until its healthier and the the percentage of people who stopped using tobacco cigarettes have grown, then they both still shouldn't be used. I wouldn't choose either because if they have the same effects then there is no point in using them.
ReplyDeleteI think that the E cigarette is a little safer than regular cigarettes because its healthier and a lot more people are switching over from cigarettes.If I had to choose to smoke one it would be the E cigarette just because its a little safer than the regular cigarette.
ReplyDeleteEither option is bad and both have very high risks, but we know more about Cigarettes than E Cigs. The E Cig liquid is very suspicious and none of the authorities have checked if it is safe to ingest yet. There are also too many different companies that make e cigs in different ways and that is another problem. There have been cases of E Cig batteries exploding which is dangerous. Tabacco may have other risks like the glass and smoke but on the otherhand E Cigs have many chemicals. I would choose to smoke normal cigarretes because I am familiar with what it contains.
ReplyDeleteI think the E-cigarettes still contain tobacco and are still harmful. They are a mildly recent invention so they're harms are still unknown. I would not choose either method of smoking because it is a waste of time, energy, and good health.
ReplyDeleteYes I think E-cigarettes are safer than regular tobacco cigarettes. If I had to choose I would pick the E-cigarette because nicotine isn't that bad for you.
ReplyDeleteYes i think E-cigs are safer because they don't have the same amount of nicotine that cigarettes have. If i had to choose between regular cigarettes and E-cigs i would choose E-cigs because they are safer and the amount of nicotine is much less then the actual cigarette.
ReplyDeleteE-cigarettes are much safer than tobacco cigarettes because they contain less nicotine, in contradiction with the following I would not recommend them because they still have nicotine no matter what. However I would choose e-cigarettes because the amount of nicotine is smaller
