Body Paragraph 2: 2nd Reason
Some people may think vaping is good for adults who
want to quit smoking cigarettes, but vaping is actually a
bad epidemic for teens.
Nicotine is bad for teens because their bodies are being
exposed to chemicals.
Vaping can cause teen anxiety levels to rise: "Levy said
she's seen vape-addicted kids in her program showing
what appear to be psychiatric symptoms rarely seen with
traditional cigarettes or among adults. Some have anxiety
and cannot focus, for example" (CNN 2019).
Kids are becoming so addicted to vapes that it affects
their brain so much that they can't do anything without
thinking about their next hit.
So many kids are doing it and don’t realize what they are
putting in their body. Teens should become more
educated about what they are putting inside their bodies.
Also, the vapor contains toxins: "Lead study author Dr.
Mark L. Rubinstein and his team have found that
teenagers who "vape" may be exposing themselves to
dangerous chemicals that have been linked to cancer"
(medicalnewstoday.com 2019).
The chemicals in vapes can lead to cancer. Most teens
don’t realize that vaping can potentially lead to cancer.
If teens knew that chemicals in the vapes lead to cancer,
it may change their perspective on whether or not to
vape.

Teen vaping has become an epidemic in the United
States.
The Surgeon General, the head of the United States
Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, issued a a
health advisory on e-cigarettes: "On December 18,
Surgeon General Jerome Adams issued a rare advisory
the fourth in 10 years from his office. "I am officially
declaring e-cigarette use [vaping] among youth an
epidemic in the United States," Dr. Adams said"
(Yalemedicine.org 2019).
This shows that this is a huge health advisory that is not
being taken seriously.
This is a huge health scare and is a huge problem.
A survey was conducted nationally that showed just how
many teens were involved in this epidemic: "Eleven
percent of high school seniors, 8 percent of 10th-graders,
and 3.5 percent of eighth-graders reported vaping with
nicotine in a one month period, according to a national
survey released from the University of Michigan late last
year" (yalemedicine.org 2019).
The future generations are all trying this and the
percentages have never been higher.
This is a huge number of students and it’s only becoming
a bigger problem.
Vaping does not reliably help you stop quitting cigarettes.
Vapes were originally created to help people quit smoking
cigarettes, but they don’t: “Though smokers may reduce
the number of cigarettes they smoke, many end up using
both products at the same time, and never actually quit
altogether" (tobaccofreeca.com 2019)
Vapes are just as addicting as cigarettes and aren't
proved to positively put a stop to smoking.
E-Cigarette were invented to use as an alternative and
eventually help people stop smoking cigarettes, but they

actually make smoking more interesting to teens and non
smokers.
Scientists have not concluded that this is a safe
alternative: "There is no conclusive scientific evidence
showing that e-cigarettes are a safe and effective method
to reduce traditional cigarette use at the population level."
(tobaccofreeca.com 2019)
Scientists are unable to conclude reliable evidence that e-
cigarettes are as safe as some may think they are.
We don't really know what we are putting into our bodys.
Some people say that E-Cigarettes have made tobacco
usage go down.
According to a study conducted on quitting smoking with
the help of vaping, "An analysis found that in the most
likely of several simulations, nearly 3.3 million life-years
could be saved by the year 2070" (futuruity.org 2019).
While this may be true for people quitting smoking, the
use of vapes is going up in numbers with teen usage
where they have never smoked before.
Vapes are not only being distributed to tobacco smokers
but to people who were not smokers before which
increases health risks for people who did not smoke
before vaping.
People may think that it is better than cigarettes but:"The
researchers developed sensitivity analysis scenarios to
assess whether more conservative assumptions might
alter the study's main finding, but they found no change.
Though the results of the study show likely net benefits
from e-cigarettes, "those benefits represent a small
fraction of the enormous harm caused by combustible
tobacco," (futurity.org 2019)
While vapes could be lowering the harmful tobacco usage
it also is creating more usage of other harmful chemicals.
We do not have enough history with these new
chemicals to even study the future harm they can do to
 us.

Counter Argument 2 (What does the other side say)

Explain counterargument 2 Some people claim that vaping is healthy because it has
less nicotine than cigarettes.

Quote that shows the opposite E-Cigarettes may not have tobacco but they have harmful
side chemicals: "Vaping gives you full control over your
nicotine dosage. E-juice" (vaping360.com 2019)

Analysis: How is your side better? You may know the nicotine dose that's going into your
How are they incorrect? body but you dont know all the other ingredients that are
in the vapor.

Analysis: (This is important People think that just because they know the nicotine
because…) dosage that it says on the bottle doesnt mean thats the
only thing.

Give 2nd piece of evidence Vaping may not smell as bad but that doesnt mean its
better for your health. "That means better oral hygiene,
skin health, circulation, lung capacity and an improved
sense of smell and taste." (vaping360.com 2019)

Analysis: How is my side better? This may be improved but you are still getting unknown
How are they incorrect? chemicals in your body that can't be proved to be safe.

Analysis: (This is important People think they know what their putting in their bodies
because…) but they really dont.
