    ACADEMIC TEXT: Read the text and answer the following questions. Encircle the letter of your answer.

    Vaping means inhaling and exhaling the vapor produced by electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes have become
    known in recent years, especially among young people. However, there are concerns about the health effects of vaping and the
    possibility that it could lead to smoking traditional cigarettes.
    Some people say that vaping is safer than smoking regular cigarettes because e-cigarettes do not have tobacco, tar, or
    carbon monoxide, which are considered harmful. Also, they say that e-cigarettes can help people stop smoking. E-cigarettes provide
    nicotine without the harmful chemicals found in tobacco cigarettes. In addition, some people use e-cigarettes as a tool for harm
    reduction when they cannot quit smoking.
    On the other hand, other people say that the effect of vaping on one's health is still unknown in the long run. E-cigarettes
    may still have harmful chemicals. Some studies have shown that electronic cigarettes can damage the lungs. People have also said
    that the flavors used in e-cigarettes interest young people and could cause them to become addicted to nicotine.
    Even though there are problems with the effects of vaping on health, some studies have shown that it is less dangerous
    than smoking regular cigarettes. But it is clear that vaping is not completely safe and should not be thought of as a risk-free alternative
    to smoking.
    There is a rule in the Philippines that says how e-cigarettes can be sold and used. E-cigarettes can only be used by people
    who are 18 or older, according to the law. Also, you can't smoke e-cigarettes in public places. The government thinks that these rules
    will keep teens from getting hooked on e-cigarettes. It also stops people from using e-cigarettes more and more.
    In conclusion, vaping might be better than smoking regular cigarettes, but there are still worries about how it might affect
    your health. Even though some people use e-cigarettes to stop smoking, they are not risk-free and can be dangerous. The
    government has put rules in place to keep young people from getting hooked on e-cigarettes, but it's still important for everyone to
    know the risks of vaping and make a sound decision.
