The article illustrates the disadvantages of e-cigarette.

The authors tone is serious

and he urges to ban the usage of e-cigarette in Malaysia.
Firstly, e-cigarette should be banned because it attracts interest among students. The
increments are worrying because more and more students are smoking. In fact, 50
teenagers below the age of 18 years old start smoking everyday. They are attracted to the
new devices and want to try them out like e-cigarette devices which are flavored and more
attractive looking. Furthermore, the users vape in public places and tend to continuously
smoking till the last drop of liquid. This cause major nuisance. It contains less social stigma
so women tend to smoke the e-cigarette.
Moreover, other developed and developing countries have banned it, so should
Malaysia. E-cigarette has 3.6% of nicotine content and other dangerous chemicals which
cause lung cancer. According to University of Athens, nicotine is a toxic poison that is similar
to pesticides. It is sold as nicotine replacement but it contains many dangerous chemicals so
that explained why the World Health Organization said that e-cigarette is not proven yet to
be a replacement for nicotine addiction. E-cigarette are widely available online and offline
and there is no age limit when buying it.
We strongly agree with the author that e-cigarette has many bad effects
among us and we should ban the usage of e-cigarette because according to Wired, new
research correlates smoking from vapes to a plethora of health issues, including asthma,
lung inflammation, MRSA infection risks and exposure to harmful chemicals. Dr
Konstantinos Farsalinos from the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre tested the presence of
diacetyl and acetyl propionyl in e-liquid samples and they have been associated with the
development of respiratory dysfunction when inhaled. As we mentioned above, women are
more attracted to e-cigarette. Two million British people use e-cigarette because they are
seen as safe. Pregnant women who use e-cigarette may be harming their unborn babies,
new research shows. US tests suggest vaping damages the foetus nervous system, making

it as harmful as smoking tobacco. It may also reduce a new-borns sperm count and damage
sperm DNA. Furthermore, users are vulnerable to the high risk of battery explosions due to
unconfirmed sources of e-cigarette. One such report was on CBS News where a man was
injured when his e-cigarette battery exploded.
In summary, we reaffirm our stand that e-cigarette should be banned in this country
for the sake of the next generations future.
