Teen Vaping vs. Smoking Effects

This research paper compares the physiological and health effects of cigarette smoking and vaping among teenagers aged 16 to 18 in Tondo, Manila. It provides background on the history of vaping and electronic cigarettes, tracing it back to the early 1960s. It discusses how early attempts to create smokeless alternatives to cigarettes failed to gain traction. The modern e-cigarette was developed in the 2000s in China as a potentially safer alternative to help smokers reduce nicotine intake. The statement of the problem indicates that teenagers are attracted to vaping because it replicates the sensation of smoking cigarettes. The scope is limited to comparing the impacts of cigarette smoking versus vaping on the health and physiology of young people in Tondo.

I. Background of Study

Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are being marketed as the “safe” new alternative

to conventional cigarettes. But are e-cigarettes safe? What does the FDA think about

them? Are e-cigarettes going to reverse the decline in smoking—giving new life to an

old habit—or can they help people quit smoking? Here is what you need to know

before picking up an e-cigarette.

The concept of the vape as an alternative to tobacco is not a new one, in fact, this revelation

is the genius of a certain individual whose idea goes back a number of years.

Not quite from the land of the dinosaurs, but long enough ago to ensure its ultimate burial,

until someone got wise.

Brought to us with the sole intention of reducing the amount of tobacco consumed, and

with the hopes of the distribution by an alternative delivery system, and the concept of the

original vape was born.

Like many things that are bound to resurface the vape and vaping had quite humble

beginnings at the hands of Herbert Gilbert in the early 1960’s. It would appear this

founding architect of what was to be the early cigarette replacement, had the patent to the

first “smokeless non-tobacco cigarette” removed from its probable future by sheer

indifference.

Alas, his idea and true intent was fated to disappear into the never-never and did not make

it to a commercial realization. The patent would eventually expire.

A blog from across the pond did a Q & A with the man himself, which is quite

insightful.

Some would put this early failure to launch down to bad timing, but was it possible that in

1963 the world just wasn’t ready for this type of evolution?

Or was it that the tobacco companies weren’t too comfortable releasing their grip, even in

the smallest degree, to something that may well have threatened what was the very

lucrative and popular cigarette smoking period the world was to ever see.

Fast forward to the year 2000 and another gentleman with a similar vision, Hon Lik, and

his company were soon to be credited with the E-Cig as we have come to recognize it

today.

This device, through a piezoelectric method, was to emit a vapor designed to be used with a

diluted tobacco liquid, for the sole purposes of reducing nicotine intake. For those serious

about removing regular cigarettes and their inherent dangers from their life, this was seen

to be a Godsend, and production went mainstream in the late 2000’s.

II.Theoretical/ Conceptual Framework

III.Statement of the Problem

Teenagers really find the contentment of using vape to replicate the hit or the

sensation that they have experienced in using cigarettes.
