An electronic cigarette is a battery-operated product that heats liquid filled with nicotine and other chemicals, and then turns nicotine into vapor inhaled by the user (Goodale; Khan A.10). The regular users become known as “vapers” (Siegel A.13). In addition, electronic cigarettes may sometimes be referred to as e-pens, e-pipes, e-hookahs, and e-cigars, but are also know as electronic nicotine delivery systems, otherwise called ENDS (“E-Cigarettes and Lung”). The original shape looked like a regular cigarette, but in recent years, transformed to resemble pipes or pens (Yoneyama). Furthermore, the e-liquid found inside of the device comes from tobacco mixed with flavor, coloring, and chemicals (“E-Cigarette and Lung”). However, electronic cigarettes puff the nicotine without actually burning the tobacco, unlike a traditional cigarette (Friedman). Sometimes they act as a new alternative because they contain no tobacco, but they still deliver nicotine to the body, giving them similar addictive assets as traditional cigarettes. Sometimes this aspect may fool consumers because they think this product appear as automatically healthier than traditional
