Ad Analysis
Why use E-cigarettes? E-cigarettes or vapes were made for the purpose of adults
replacing normal cigarettes filled with carcinogens and switching to vapes. Vapes are safer than
cigarettes but were meant for people to get off of something worse. Vapes today have bright
colors, cool designs, and interesting flavors for people (adults) to try. This attracted middle
school, highschool, and college students immensely. What they don’t know is vapes can be just
as addictive and have life-threatening effects. Vapes can cause things like chronic lung disease,
and asthma. Would you risk your perfect health to hit a vape?
According to USA Today news, e-cigarettes have been the most popular thing to use.
With nearly 12 percent of high school students using them, and 3 percent of middle school
students getting their hands on them. These students are open and willing to try something that
can harm their health. Most don’t know the harm that can happen and are either peer pressured,
or influenced by friends and/or family. Example, a girl named Hailey Boyce experienced serious
injuries when her e-cigarette exploded as she was vaping it. Hailey was only 17 years old , when
she was hanging out with her friends on mothers day. She decided to take a hit from her
e-cigarette when it exploded and set her on fire leaving her in a burn center for 3 weeks.
Why vape? Kids these days are led to believe that vaping is less harmful than normal
cigarettes. They want to fit in, reduce their stress, and appear cool in social outings amongst their
friends and family. The ad that I presented however shows a different story. It shows the truth
