E-Cigarattes ; How High is the Risk of Chronic Lung Disease

E-cigarette is an electronic device used for inhaling nicotine. It is often called vaping. Unlike
traditional cigarettes, it does not contain tobacco. This article, about the risks of the e-cigarette that I
quoted from the page medicalnewstoday.com. In the article, explain the risk of e-cigarette users for
the health of their lungs. I think, this article provides sufficient explanation that aids me in learning
about the risk of e-cigarettes.

First of all, I think that this article has a good organization. The content of this article is also
well described, it is explained why and how e-cigarette can be at risk for human body especially for
lung. I think this article is long enough because the discussion is also very interesting. In the first
paragraph it starts with the definition of e-cigarette and some risks incurred by it. This article also
explains related studies conducted to prove that e-cigarettes are at risk for the lung health of its users.
Meanwhile, it is also explained that the risk received by double smokers is 2.6 times greater than
smokers who use only e-cigarettes.

Secondly, I believe that this article is significantly useful to remind us of the dangers of e-
cigarettes for lung. Most people, still unconsciously related to the dangers that will be caused from the
use of e-cigarette, so there are still many people who use it. Although the risk of use of e-cigarettes is
smaller than the use of traditional cigarettes with tobacco. But nowadays, most people use the e-
cigarette together with the use of traditional cigarettes so that the risk is greater than e-cigarette users
only.

Thirdly, I strongly agree with being said by Prof Glantz as the author of the article and
concurrently as a researcher that "The user's dual-pattern usage is most common among people using
e-cigarettes – gaining risk Combined e-cigarettes and cigarettes are conventional, so they are really
worse than tobacco smokers ". Because basically smoking using e-cigarette alone is at risk especially
when combined both will definitely be riskier. Therefore, a double smoker has a risk of 3 times
greater when compared to a traditional smoker.

From this article, I got a lot of very useful information related to the e-cigarette. Because,
before I read this article, I think that if using an e-cigarette is not harmful to the health of the body
especially for the lungs. However, after I read this article I realized that the use of e-cigarettes is also
harmful to the lung health of smokers and those around him. It is evident from the research done and
presented in this article. So, after I know that e-cigarette is harmful, I will try to remind those closest
to me not to use the e-cigarette and try to avoid the smoke of the e-cigarette itself although it does not
contain tobacco.

 In conclusion, this article has a good organization. The contents of this article are also well
explained, this explains why and how e-cigarettes can be risky for the human body especially for the
lungs. It also describes a greater risk to double smokers. From the data contained in it can also be
trusted because it is proven by the research done. I highly recommend this article to people who are
still lacking in consciousness over the dangers of smoking both e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes.
