Question

*Please help*
I am doing a compare & contrast essay for school and I chose to do E-cigs vs. Cigarettes
I need about 3-4 things that they have in conman for my essay
So far I have

1. Both has nicotine
2. Both have harmful chemicals
3. Both can damage your lungs

Are these good? And does anyone else have any better ideas?

Answer 1

it depends on what kind of ecig ... you can just get ones with vapor, that dont do any damage to your lungs, and serve as a replacement for those who are trying to quit, or you can get them with a certain percentage of nicotine in them, So i would go with the fact that they both are addictive and/ or contain nicotine- :)

Answer 2

Not really trying to target one brand just the overall aspects on them

Answer 3

that is an overall aspect of them ... if youre targeting ecigs onky with nicotine, thats a different story, but in the contrast section of your essay, you can state that ecigs that dont contain nicotine are actually helpful, ya know? like when it comes to quitting and stuff

Answer 4

Wouldn't the lack of nicotine make smokers want to smoke cigarettes again?
But anyway I thought that all of them were the same and had nicotine

Answer 5

Researching:
The electronic cigarette is virtually odorless and does not stain your fingers or teeth through normal use, whereas a traditional cigarette does both as a result of extended use. Additionally, the electronic cigarette does not include any carcinogens or produce unhealthy second hand inhalation effects in those around you, says E-Power Cigarette. The resulting scent from an electronic cigarette originates from the flavor additive, and this scent is very slight.
Traditional cigarettes use combustion as a converter, turning tobacco into inhalable smoke. Electronic cigarettes use a lithium ion battery, connected to a vapor atomizer, to convert the chemicals into inhalable, sweet water vapor. The electronic system eliminates the need to carry combustible lighters and does not require ash trays for discarded residue. The lithium ion batteries are rechargeable within a few hours of being plugged in to a power source.

@leozap1 The lack of nicotine I believe is to slow you down from the addiction over a period of time . People that generally try and quit have eCigs also.

Like if a were a cigarette smoker and was trying to cut back.
