Hypothesis- 

With the ever-growing debate over the ethical and moral views of smoking cigarettes, more and more people have been looking to break the habit.  Whether one should be allowed to smoke in public, around their children at home or in their car, or even being able to smoke at all has created controversy nationally.  But now, there is a new product that will put an end to all the discussions regarding the rights of smokers in relation to those who do not smoke.  The e-cigarette allows one all the pleasures of smoking, without the harmful risks.
