I came home on my home visit for christmas,when i saw my little brother with my step sisters e-cig. Keep in mind he's 12, and my step sister has never smoked in her life. By her smoking it around him is showing him that it is cool and okay to do. My topic is why non-smokers using e-cigs should stop in 2013.
One reason they shouldn't do this is because, kids and adults are doing it to look "cool".
It's one thing if you actually have a problem with smoking, and you are trying to find a less harmful alternative. Smoking an e-cig when you don't have a problem with it is a waste of money, and makes you look stupid.
Another reason is, I personally feel like it puts out bad influences on younger kids.
Younger kids see their older brother or sister doing it makes them
think it is cool and that it is the right thing to do. In all reality if you feel like you have a smoking problem, go ahead and smoke an e-cig. But if you don't, don't start up a bad habit for no reason.
I know that some people might think it makes you look cool, but those people that think a 12 year old kid is cool for having an e-cig aren't the people to be hanging around with.
Find other things to do and new friends that are more positive role models on you and other people.
If you don't smoke find other things to do to occupy your time. Do sports watch t.v. anything is better then watching a little kid smoke an e-cig because society says its "cool".

I agree that people just smoke e-cig because they are trying to fit in. Or maybe even trying to look cool around there friends. When in reality it is just harming your body all because you are trying to fit in.
I totally agree with you. Two reasons are my sister had one that clearly said no nicotine on it and I asked why she smoked it and she said it tastes good. Reason two is because it's wasting your money and their time to get them.
You are totally correct,if people are just using them to use them then they are dumb. That is not what they are used for. They need to learn that it dose not make them look cool.
Tahj Tahj Tahj, this assignment was very well written, I am glad you related this to your real life. I get that kids smoke just to be cool that isn't right. Also I understand that if people have a habit they should covert to the e-cig, it's more healthy then all the harmful chemicals normal cigarettes have. But I am not saying that it is neccicarily the right thing either. Most older sibling should be a positive role model so those younger can know not to make the wrong decisions.
Tahj you are so right about that. People who have a smoking problem and smokes e-cigs aren't cool but if there controlling a smoking problem then that's ok. I like this essay because you have a very good point with everything.
I agree with you greatly! I see kids that don't even smoke with ecigs just because they think it makes them look cool! It doesn't make you look cool it makes you look like a dumb kid trying to hard to fit in. Find a new trend.
