         <description><![CDATA[<p>The youth nowadays think that if they start vaping, they are not getting the harmful consequences from smoking cigarettes. While it is true that vaping is much better than vaping, 3 in 10 people tend to start smoking because vaping is not enough to satisfy their cravings. In addition, there has been many death cases and lung injuries associated by vaping. It is pertinent to note that most of the consumers of vape are unfortunately the youth; exposure to nicotine among youth is particularly dangerous since it affects key brain receptors, making young people more susceptible to nicotine addiction. </p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Rhetorical Appeal:</strong> Logos.</p><p><strong>Writer:</strong> Researcher shedding light on nicotine exposure on the youth.</p><p><strong>Audience:</strong> The youth and their parents (middle schoolers and high schoolers).</p><p><strong>Context:</strong> 3.5% of middle school students and 7.8% of high school students reported current e-cigarette use.</p><p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Persuade the youth to stop vaping for the sake of their health.</p>]]></description>
