According to the World Health Organization, 3,000,000 people die early each year because of tobacco use, including 890, 000 deaths from second-hand smoke exposure. E-cigarettes, an alternative替代品to smoking, have become popular. Also known as vaporizers汽化器, they are electric devices that heat liquid nicotine into a vapor that can be taken in. This vapor is less harmful to inhale than smoke. For example, it does not produce tar焦油, which can build up in a smokers lungs. Inhaling vapor-called vaping-is not without its own risks, however. Exposure to nicotine during youth can lead to addiction and cause long-term harm to brain development. The vapor may also contain harmful things. The Center for Disease Control has linked vaping to more than 805 cases of lung disease and 12 deaths so far in the US. Vaping has greatly increased in popularity in the US, especially among teenagers. About 37 of US high school seniors were reported vaping in 2018, up from 28 the year before, Harvard Health Publishing reported. Michael Blaha, a researcher the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, listed 3 reasons that contributed to vapings popularity among young people. First, many teens believe that vaping is less harmful than smoking. Second, e-cigarettes have a lower per-use cost than traditional cigarettes. Finally, e-cigarettes come in a wide range of sweet flavors, like apple pie and watermelon. Blaha is most concerned that more teenagers are taking up vaping as a habit. Its one thing if you change from cigarette smoking to vaping. Its quite another thing to start up nicotine use with vaping. And, it often leads to using traditional tobacco products down the road, he said. Governments around the world are divided about vaping. 39 countries and regions have banned the sale of e-cigarettes, according to the Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2018. Last September, US President Donald Trump said the use of e-cigarettes might be negatively affecting young people and that it should be kept off the market until proved harmless. 32.
