possible and state in brackets the number of words you have written.
Electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes are electronic devices that heat a liquid and produce
an aerosol that is inhaled. They come in many shapes and sizes. Some e-cigarettes look like
regular cigarettes, cigars or pipes, while some others look like USB flash drives, pens and other
everyday items. Using an e-cigarette is called ‘vaping’.
The use of e-cigarette has been found to be dangerous and unsafe for children, teenagers
and young adults because they contain a lot of harmful substances. Most of them contain
nicotine which is highly addictive and can harm brain development. E-cigarettes also contain
other harmful substances besides nicotine. They include ultrafine particles, volatile organic
compounds, cancer-causing chemicals and heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead. These
products damage the lungs and poison the body, leading to other serious health complications.
E-cigarettes come in many flavours to attract consumers. These flavourings may be safe
to eat but not to inhale because they contain chemicals that have been linked to serious lung
diseases. Young people who use e-cigarettes are also more likely to smoke cigarettes and other
drugs in the future. This is because smoking devices can he used to smoke marijuana and other
drugs.
The e-cigarette labels are sometimes deceiving as they do not disclose the actual
contents. For example, those labelled nicotine-free have been found to contain it. Children and
adults have been poisoned by swallowing, breathing or absorbing e-cigarette liquid through
their skin or eyes. Defective batteries in e-cigarettes have been known to explode and cause
fires. They have also caused serious injuries. In the meantime, more awareness programmes
and strict checks help to control this bad and dangerous habit.
