Demitrius Hilerio Class 707 Upfront magazine "Smoke Signals" Article By Alessandra Potenza

   In my opinion e-cigarettes are as bad as regular cigarettes. I think this because young men and women may think that just because they don't have tobacco doesn't mean that it won't be addictive still for smokers. Acording to the article "Harvey isn't alone. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the share of young people using e-cigarettes doubled in 2012 from the previous year. That worries U.S. health officials, who for decades have been making progress in helping people quit smoking-19 percent of adults smoke cigarettes today, versus 42 percent in 1965-or preventing them from starting in the first place."
   Another reason I think e-cigarettes are as bad as regular cigarettes because people stil get addicted to smoking and plus these companies put flavors in the e-cigarettes so yhey can give smokers more pleasure from smoking which influences people to continue smoking e-cigarettes.
