Soal No.17 Literasi Bahasa Inggris
A doctor in pediatric respiratory medicine reported that with the rising popularity of vaping, the hospitals are treating many life-threatening cases. The doctor is concerned that e-cigarettes are advertised in the UK, given the severe reaction they can cause in children and a lack of scientific studies on their safety.
E-cigarettes are promoted in the UK as a way to quit smoking because they let people inhale nicotine in vapor rather than breathing in smoke. The Director of Public Health England said vaping is 95% safer than smoking but is not without risks. he asserted that smoking kills half of lifelong smokers and accounts for almost 220 death in England every day. While it is not completely risk’ free, UK regulated e-cigarettes carry a fraction of the risk of smoked tobacco.
This is supported by Dr. Hopkinson, the Medical Director or the British Lunig Foundation. He stated that if people switch completely from smoking to vaping, they will substantially reduce their health tisk as e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco and any harmful components are present at a much lower level. He advises people who switch to vaping to try to quit vaping in the long tern too but not at the expense or relapsing to smoking.
But there are arguments about how safe vaping teally is. The World Health Organization says e-cigarettes are undoubtedly harmful and should therefore be subject to regulation. It also raises concems about vaping being aggressively marketed at young people, It is also concerned about the possibility of e-smoking leading to the re-normalizing of smoking.
A researcher studying the effects of vaping said the findings show that vaping is not safe, especially for the lungs or young people. He believes that itis dangerous fo announce that e-cigaettes are much safer than tobacco. In conclusion, the best advice that can be given is: “if you smoke, switch to vaping: if you don't smoke, don’t vape.”
