1. The title of the article is E-Cigarettes Potentially as Harmful as Tobacco Cigarettes, Study Show. The title sounds more sophisticated and it involves a study. 2. Scientists from the University of Connecticut wrote the study about E-Cigarettes. 3. The article is about two pages long. The article has more technical language, because there is an actual study involved. There are no exaggerations at all, it is purely about the study that the University of Connecticut did. 4. The claim in the article is that E-Cigarettes harm DNA, even though people believe that E-Cigarettes do not do any harm. This article uses a primary source, a study by the University of Connecticut, it mentions their procedures they used, but not in tremendous detail.
It suffers from the lack of logics and didn’t provide enough examples to support Hurley’s claim. The tone of the article wasn’t forceful, but yet, ironic to how the authors presented it and was too informal and lenient. The word choices Hurley uses isn’t efficient enough to support his reasoning to why people should try it and wasn’t clear to where people would have a hard time understanding. Hurley’s article has countless grammar errors in few of the passages and needs to provide more information about the exact procedures of the experiment and the negative side effects of conducting the
2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.
Did you summarize the article in your own words including the finding of the study? Yes
While e-cigarettes contain fewer toxic chemicals, findings suggest that potential potential increase in harmful cigarette use may follow.
The abstract provides a nice summary of the article including the purpose, method, results and conclusion of the study. There is no real sense of urgency portrayed in the abstract because the authors fail to explain what the problem is that the study is aimed at researching. The authors do include the applicability of their
This article was poorly structured and it wasn’t organized well. It didn’t look like any research went into. Similarly, there was no introduction
Recent discoveries from a research team based in Athens unveiled that the health effects of smoking an e-cigarette for 30 minutes is approximately equivalent to smoking a regular cigarette for 5 minutes. Additionally, the e-cigarettes were found to cause heart stiffening; which can potentially result in cardiovascular diseases. Though one may argue that the damage is still minimal for e-cigarettes as opposed to traditional tobacco products, at the end of the day, long term usage will result in similar chronic diseases. When often overlooked to be risk free, e-cigarettes still underlie multiple detrimental health effects. Perhaps the most concerning part of the situation would still be the teens. The problem
The second writter is not convincing,no studies show that e-cigs are beneficial,maybe not as bad.
E-cigarette’s long term effects have not been documented in humans yet, however, the short term negative effects have been suggested by several studies [PMID: 27477296, PMID: 24821826, PMCID: PMC4410224, PMID: 22194587]. These studies focused mainly on the cytotoxic profile of e-cigarettes and their effects on the respiratory tract, central nervous system, immune system and a few others (Table 1). The most reported health effects were centered on the pulmonary tract, as it is the primary system being exposed to vapors from e-cigarettes. For example, recent clinical and animal studies have shown that e-cigarettes may cause irritation of both upper and lower respiratory tract, in addition to inducing bronchospasm and cough, which may negatively
The decision between the use of e-cigarettes and real cigarettes is an answer that can affect your life and your body during its progression. During the experiments done scientists tested how e-cigarettes affect the body and how well it is seen by the general population of physicians. The first experiment done on smokers using 14-37 packs a year, switching to e-cigarettes, showed that these people began decreasing the amount of packs they smoked by 22% in week 12 of the study and about 13% in one year. The next experiment measured the amount of people in a set group who have ever used an e-cigarette. The results showed about 9% of people said they have used an e-cigarette and about 1% said they have used and stopped using e-cigarette. The next experiment showed cytotoxicity of e-cigarettes and if mice developed any lung issues at various intensities. The use of intense e-cigarettes showed that the mice had much more CRV than the control group of mice, leading to the verdict that e-cigarettes could have a harmful affect on humans too. These results show how e-cigarettes are used between the population and who is more likely to come in contact with the product. Also, the results show that the e-cigarettes affect the human body just like regular cigarettes do.
Next, e-cigs have health claims that haven’t been proven. 95% of websites have stated health claims about e-cigs but they have yet to be proven.
The article I chose is about kids buying E-Cigarettes and them being dangerous for our health. It states that its most used tobacco product along with hookahs, snuff, etc. People get addicted to them and they have harmful chemicals in them that can also affect your health. People using vapes used to be rare a few years ago but now it’s one of the most popular things.
It is known the fact that habit is quite a strong phenomenon in human life. There are many habits that are quite easy to get, it can be done even accidentally. However, it can be difficult to break a habit. As far as breaking the habit can be quite difficult, it is common practice to try not to destroy the habit at all but change it in some more positive way. Nowadays people see such positive way in e-cigarettes as alternatives to the traditional tobacco cigarettes. A popularity of e-cigarettes and their widespread image as a harmless alternative to the traditional tobacco cigarettes could be the reason why there is quite a high number of studies which consider the harmfulness of the e-cigarettes. However, even though the studies showed that
The researchers conclude that using the electronic cigarettes and tabacco cigarettes are very harmful especially in the case of human health. The researchers also conclude that smoking E-cigarettes or also called "Vape" is not safe at all. E-cigarette contains Nicotine which is addictive as the same in cigarette which is not good for people with heart problems and it can also damage unborn babies that is why Women that is pregnant should not use anything with nicotine it also contains formaldehyde which is used in building material and another ingredient for antifreeze that can cause cancer. In cigarette smoking the researchers conclude that it can harm every organ of the body it can also cause many disease which can reduces the health of smokers.
