Jankowski, M., Brożek, G., Lawson, J., Skoczyński, S., & Zejda, J. (2017). E-smoking: Emerging public health problem? International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health. doi: 10.13075/ijomeh.1896.01046
Mateusz Jankowski et al. in the academic journal, E-smoking: Emerging Public Health Problem, 2017 claims the use of electronic cigarettes leads to acute lung responses and induce oxidative stress. Jankowski supports his claims by collecting evidence from 108 studies done between 2010-2016 exploring the chemicals inside electronic cigarettes, the results of experimental studies from usage of electronic cigarettes, and the health risks of smoking electronic cigarettes. Jankowski’s purpose behind this article is to inform the general public so that they will have an understanding of the harmful risks that come with smoking electronic cigarettes. Jankowski writes in a formal tone for the public. Farrell, J. R., & Hamby, A. M. (2019). Vaping Viewpoints: A Multi‐Segment Understanding of E‐Cigarette Risk Perceptions. Journal of Consumer Affairs, 53(2), 545–571. https://doi-org.libproxy.plymouth.edu/10.1111/joca.12203 Farrell, et al. in the academic journal, ‘Vaping Viewpoints: A Multi-Segment Understanding of E-cigarette Risk Perception’ (2019), suggests that vapers are more likely to have a lowered perception of the risks of vaping, but are more likely to respond to on-ad warnings about the risks. Farrell supports his arguments by illustrating two studies, one of which evaluates consumers (vapers, smokers, dual users and nonusers) by their levels of risk perception, and the second study which looks at how the consumers’ (vapers, smokers, dual users, and nonusers) risk perception are influenced by on-ad warnings. Farrell's purpose is to show how different consumers perceive the risks of vaping in order to bring awareness to vapers who are also the consumers with the lowest perception of risk. Farrell writes in a serious tone for consumers. Rangeela, M., & Geetha, R. V. (2019). Awareness and knowledge about usage of e-cigarettes and risk of cardiovascular disease among smokers.

Rangeela supports her assertions by providing 100 teenaged vapers a survey of 15 questions to find out how many were aware of health risks, and percentage of vapers who have CVD as a result of vaping. Rangeela’s purpose is to point out how uninformed teenagers are about risks of vaping. Rangeela writes in a formal tone for teenage vapers. Burstyn, I. (2014).

BMC Public Health, 14(1), 1–27. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-14-18 Igor Burstyn in the academic journal, ‘Peering Through The Mist: Systematic Review of What the Chemistry of Contaminants in Electronic Cigarettes Tells Us About Health Risks’ (2014), argues the different chemicals and contaminants in liquids and aerosols from electronic cigarettes do not pose a health risk under occupational standards. Burstyn supports his assertion by synthesizing evidence of contaminants found in liquid and aerosols from electronic cigarettes as well as defining potential exposures and comparing that to the occupational exposure standards. Burstyn’s purpose is to inform consumers about what is inside of electronic cigarettes liquid and aerosols and how these contaminants may affect their health. Burstyn writes in a formal tone for consumers. Paynich, V. (2019). The Youth VAPING Epidemic: How park and recreation agencies are helping to fight e-cigarette use among America’s teens.

Paynich supports her claims by illustrating the statistics and facts about teenage vaping and explores the different parks across America in which have banned vaping. Paynich’s purpose is to inform in order to draw attention to the growing number of teenage vapers and encourage other agencies to take a stance against vaping. Paynich writes in a serious tone to teenage vapers and their parents.

Nice job with the précis. One tiny thing: In describing the genre of the pieces, you call them academic journals, but they're academic journal articles. The journals are the bigger things, such as the <i>Journal of Current Affairs</i>.
