There should be a strict government regulation of the Vaping industry
Introduction
According to Borodovsky, et. al. (2016), the enhanced amount of smoking recently has
started a new trend of electronic cigarettes. These have been quite a contemporary trend
globally and can also be referred to as e-cigarette. As opined by Dawkins, Turner, Roberts
and Soar (2013), the E-cigarettes are electronic device which simulates smoking of tobacco.
They use incombustible tobacco products and are operated with the help of batteries which
helps in heating up of liquid and delivering aerosolized product to the individual. As stated by
Walley, Wilson, Winickoff and Groner (2019), e-cigarette or in general term known as
vaping has been facing a lot of challenges as they have been posing harm for the public. The
main aim of the paper is to justify the reason for the government posing strict regulation in
the vaping industry. The topic was chosen in the context on my husband choosing vaping as
an option with an intent to quit smoking. Instead, of helping him to quit and live a smoke-free
life, it became a more frequent alternative of smoking. Therefore, the audience that are
selected for the research are my contemporaries and the source used for the research was
MPTC library. The paper primarily focuses on the growth of the vaping industry in recent
times and the support it receives from the government. The paper will also be highlighting the
influence of e-cigarettes on the youngsters and measures that needs to be taken by the
government for reducing its prevalence in the lives of the people.

produce smoke that is the source of cancer. Thereby by analysing the good effects of vaping
it has been advertised as a benign substitute to a tobacco-based cigarette, and act as a
provisional medium to assist individuals quit smoking completely.
As opined by Jackler and Ramamurthi (2019), since the advent of twentieth century, several
numbers of destructive public guidelines have facilitated smoking reduction in US. Amongst
various other rules and regulations, federation has banned the marketing and advertisements
of tobacco mediums such as radio and television. The government also had demanded the
tobacco industry to comprise severe cautions on its product labels that will make people
aware about the ill-effects it has on health.
Gentzke, et. al. (2019), argued that the concept of vaping is relatively new and after debuting
in the US in 2007, e-cigarettes have substantially gained popularity globally especially
amongst the young generation. It is quite evident from various investigation and researches
that vaping has become widespread in middle and high school pupils. As opined by Cullen,
et. al. (2018), with the rise in consumption of e-cigarette in recent years, the sales structure
and usage of the traditional cigarette has continued to show decline in all age groups. The
