Answer to Question 1
(answers may vary)
E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that deliver aerosolized nicotine and additives flavored with chocolate, mint, candy, and other sweetness. They are marketed as a relatively benign alternative
to cigarettes, without tar, carbon monoxide, and other harmful ingredients. Cigarette smokers report being attracted to e-cigarettes for several reasons, including lower cost, perceived lesser danger, freedom to use them in some places where cigarettes are banned, and enjoyment of the smoking experience..
Researchers have found that puffing on e-cigarettes produces airway constriction and inflammation, which might lead to serious lung diseases such as emphysema. Other potential risks include headache, cough, dizziness, sore throat, nose bleeds, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems, and allergic reactions such as itchiness and swelling of the lips.
E-cigarettes also might have harmful effects on the developing brain as well as on the respiratory system and overall health of young users. According to a recent review, e-cigarettes may provide a less harmful source of nicotine than traditional cigarettes, but evidence of decreased harm with long-term use is not available.
