There’s no way America will ever make the use of tobacco products illegal; they mean too much money in government coffers, so to speak. Limiting access to cigarettes, snuff and chewing tobacco so minors can’t buy or shoplift the stuff is fine by me. Publishing companies and other industries didn’t ban smoking inside their facilities because of local ordinances; they did it for savings in insurance costs and a decrease in the number of smoke-fouled computers and smoke-sickened workers. Business owners with any acumen at all have instituted bans with or without the law telling them that they must do so. It’s the economical and prudent thing to
Freak accidents can happen, and this particular brand has been taken off the market. This particular incident has not seemed to discourage anyone from buying the E Cig, although it is an extremely scary situation. Because of both health and safety concerns, electronic cigatettes have been banned in several countries including Canada and Brazil. Still I think it questionable whether e-cigarettes are really meant to be a device meant to stop smoking or one that is designed to hook new smokers and keep old one’s addicted to nicotine. The use of candy flavors suggests that e-cigarettes are designed to be marketed to children, to be a gateway to smoking cigarettes.
In fact, it is ADDED to anti-freeze to reduce it's toxicity if ingested. Nicotine Causes Cancer Nicotine has the same effect on your body as caffeine. The toxins and and carcinogens are created when tobacco leaves are burned, changing their chemical makeup. Holding tobacco leaves/concentrations against soft tissue for extended periods of time is of great concern as well. Vaping Is As Bad As Smoking Liquid nicotine does not contain the over 4,000 chemicals created when burning tobacco cigarettes.
Current and potential E-cig users believe the manufacturer’s claims to be the truth because the users are searching for a healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes. The companies who sell and make these devices are telling the public that it is a way to quit smoking tobacco products, but do not blatantly claim it to be a cessation device. These companies also advertise that there are no secondhand smoke effects, just water vapor. Studies have shown these claims to be seriously questionable. E-cigarette users believe that the vapors from these devices are a healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes.
Even people who smoke do not like to walk past a cloud of smoke (Berg). Over the past two decades, medical research has shown that non-smokers suffer many of the diseases of active smoking when they breathe secondhand smoke. (“Secondhand Smoking Facts”). Secondhand smoke is obviously worse than even smoking and students and staff should not have to be exposed to such harmful chemicals while at school. Smoking should not be allowed on school properties or campuses.

Firstly, there would be no longer any constant worry of second hand smoke, which would reduce the probability of innocent deaths. Secondly, businesses’ that involve any social interaction would no longer have people smoking during breaks and returning reeking of smoke and disgusting their customers. Thirdly, no single person would start smoking because they would not want to be sent to the island. Fourthly, the government would make a higher profit based on the distribution of cigarettes that they would sell to the island by setting extremely high taxes on them. Fifthly, the air and the environment would be much cleaner and society would have one less thing to worry about.
Also, depending on the industry, in order to give consumers the low prices that they hold as the Holy Grail manufacturers often have to give up the quality of the product. I have worked in retail for over ten years and I see this on a daily basis. People get upset when their $12 flip flops blow out, but when you show them the $50 flip flops that come with a 5 year warranty, most of the time they want nothing to do with it. Fashion of course is an industry that doesn’t make items obsolete, but things simply go out of style. But once again, the fashion retail industry doesn’t force people to go out and buy the latest trends.
The new laws where established to protect consumers against health insurers, so no one would be denied coverage because of an illness such as: Cancer, Aids and other chronic diseases. Author Jed Graham’s article, “Obama Care’s impact on Job loss” (2013), emphasizes how the new health care reform law is causing job loss. According to Graham some law firms, school districts and hospitals throughout the United States are facing tough choices with rising insurance cost under Obama Care. Graham shows the scope of this problem by showing that, according to politicians and economist Affordable Care Acts give businesses and incentive to cut worker’s hours below the 30 hour per-week
Studies have shown a decrease over the years that these needle exchange programs are reducing the risk and/or possibility of spreading deadly diseases amongst those who would share needles. These programs reduce healthcare coverage for both the insured and uninsured. Needle exchange programs reduce the chances of a bystander getting stuck by a needle that was just disposed of anywhere. As for the program being ethically acceptable I am not the judge. Even though there are laws stating you may not purchase or sell drugs some people are going to sell and use drugs anyway.
