The Electronic cigarette (also known as e-cigs) was originally developed with the goal of replacing cigarettes, and to eventually have people quit smoking altogether. However, e-cigs seem not to be as ideal as it is made out to be. This study identifies the level of addictions between e-cigs and cigarettes and their respective effects on embryonic development of chicks and physiological change of mice. The study is made up of four different experiments; toxicity test (skin irritation test and oral toxicity test), effect on chick embryonic development, addiction of e-cigs (cigar preference test) and physiological change (body weight and blood test). Test results from the UV spectrophotometer showed that fish exposed with e-cigarette vapor have 7.67-11.8% more absorbance (OD) than the control group. Chick embryonic development were also found to be more negatively affected by exposure to e-cigarettes than cigarettes. On top of that, the cigar preference test shows the extraordinary nicotine addictiveness of e-cigs by mice ingesting Congress, one of the e-cigs, as a substitute to water amounting up to 50% of their daily intake. Therefore, this study implies that e-cigs is not at all an ideal replacement or alternative to normal cigarettes.
