The Argument:

To Vape or not to Vape? Is Vaping a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes?

Choose to be Pro or Con

Proponents (pro) believe– Vaping is a safer alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. They do not contain the many known carcinogenic ingredients that cause chronic disease and death. They also allow people a method of smoking cessation that will help them quit the use of nicotine altogether.

Opponents believe (Con)- E-cigarettes are potentially explosive devices that addict teens and young adults to nicotine and most likely cause unknown serious health problems.
