(------------ANCHOR---------------)ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS ‘E-CIGS’, ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR AMONG INDIVIDUALS FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT THEY MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY SAFE. ROBERT E. LEE HAS MORE ON THE INCREASING POPULARITY. (-------------TKE PKG--------------)“Nat sound of electronic cigarette being smoked.” E-VAPOR WAS THE FIRST ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE STORE TO OPEN UP IN MORGANTOWN, NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO. SINCE OPENING, THEY HAVE SOLD ABOUT TWELVE E-CIGS A DAY. BUT, WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY STUDENT, MICHAEL OLSON, SAYS IT’S THE FLAVORS THAT KEEP HIM COMING BACK FOR MORE. “I like the fact that there’s a lot of flavors out there you know, so, if I really get bored of one or tired of one, I can switch it up every day or so.”

“An E-Cig is a battery operated device that uses E-Juice to produce vapors. E-cigs come in all different colors and sizes too. To use an E-Cig, all you have to do is hold down the middle button and simply inhale.” ALTHOUGH, GRADUATE ASSISTANT, NICK FELICIONE, SAYS THAT USERS SHOULD STILL BE CAUTIOUS WHEN USING AN E-CIG. “The nicotine in electronic cigarettes is still derived from tobacco, so it does still have some of the impurities and carcinogens that are specific to tobacco.” E-CIGS IS PRIMARILY USED BY INDIVIDUALS TO TRY AND QUIT THEIR TOBACCO HABIT. ALTHOUGH, NOT ENOUGH TIME HAS PASSED TO DETERMINE IF ANY LONG TERM EFFECTS EXIST. IT IS STILL CLEAR TO SAY, THAT MUCH LIKE THE VAPORS THEY EMIT, THE POPULARITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO USE AN E-CIG IS ON THE RISE. FOR JOURNALISM 386, IN MORGANTOWN, I’M ROBERT E.
