   Have you ever felt in so much pain that you feel ending your life would be better? This could be possible with euthanasia. Euthanasia is the killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. This is only legal in the following four states: Washington, Oregon, California, and Vermont.
   I believe that euthanasia should be legal in all the states for people who are going through so much pain. When a person who is suffering from all the pain and has a disease with only a short amount of time left to live, they should be able to decide if they want it to end sooner. In some cases patients are told that they have another two or three months to live, but take it in as bad news because that's another two or three months of pain and suffer.
   Euthanasia helps them end the pain without them have to kill themselves. We have no idea the kind of pain they are feeling, and maybe if we were in their shoes and felt what they were going through we would want the same thing. It may seem wrong to many people, but a person shouldn't have to suffer so they can live another month feeling like their life was already taken away from them. As humans we can only handle so much pain. Euthanasia can end what those sick patients are feeling.

    I believe that Michael is correct in his blog, Insight on U.S. Government. Vapes were created as alternatives for smokers to to help them quit. They are healthier for the body than actual cigarettes, and lower the chances of getting lung cancer or any other decease caused by smoking. Studies encourages any smoker to switch from cigarettes to vapes because they are 95% safer and don't contain dangerous levels of aldehydes. Taking this alternative away will cause those who use vapes to go back to cigarettes because well all know it's not easy to go back from an addiction. The American Heart Association states that e-cigarettes either do not contain or have lower levels of several tobacco-derived harmful and potentially harmful constituents compared with cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
    There's only a few ways to look at the problem. Would the people feel more comfortable being around smokers or others who don't contain and cigarette smoke because the smoke e-cigarettes? They're odorless, much less harmless, and studies have shown how they really do help people quit smoking.
