Usage of Electronic Cigarettes and Vaping and Their Effect On the Lungs and Lung Function

Conference Room B

This paper analyzes and compiles ten separate, published articles or scholarly journals that report results from research conducted in a scientific laboratory, interviews and censuses gathered from subjects, and statistics about the usage of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarette) and vaping. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the separate articles in order to form a cohesive and cumulative report on the effects of e-cigarettes on the pulmonary system, in particular, the lungs themselves, especially on adolescent development. The articles vary on the degree to which e-cigarettes are harmful as well as the standing of current E-cigarette users and their level of dependence on nicotine usage; however, all articles present some form of caution in which e-cigarettes should be used. In order to fully understand how e-cigarettes and vaping affect lung function, every aspect of said process should be studied including production and manufacturing, the procedure of a working e-cigarette, and the outcome.
