My name is A. I am attending a university that is about to prohibit the use of cigarettes and other tobacco products within the campus’ premises, either owned or leased.

The hyped television advertisements on electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are all passing across one message that e-cigarettes will save the users and bystanders from the tobacco smoke, simply because the ‘vapor’ byproduct is a lesser evil than tobacco smoke. The implication of this hype, which unfortunately is even being passed to children, is that e-cigarettes are okay to use everywhere. Just like the counterpart tobacco companies, the e-cigarette marketers are endorsing a deadly product without disclosing the side effects to the unsuspecting users. With millions of people dying every year due to harmful effects of tobacco cigarettes, the e-cigarettes seems Continue reading...

The article recounted a story of a girl in Colorado who had seizures since she was a newborn. Since she started using medicinal marijuana, her seizure count has dropped and she now only has two to three a month as opposed to having around 300 a week (Gupta). If more cases are found like this and more individuals can find treatment in marijuana, I think we should look into more states Continue reading...

Introduction

Many individuals seeking to overcome cigarette addiction have turned to electronic cigarettes commonly known as e-cigarettes.

However, research proves that although one may overcome tobacco addiction by using the e-cigarette, they bring equally dangerous health risks Continue reading...

On one hand, more regulations are coming in to curb cigarette and alcohol advertising (Quinn, Mujtaba, and Cavico, 2011). On the other hand, some states like Colorado are Continue reading...
