Electronic cigarettes and public view
Škaryd, Jan ; Zmrzlá, Petra (referee) ; Mihai, Hana (advisor)
This work is focused on both smokers of electronic and conventional cigarettes. The purpose of this work is to introduce and describe an electronic cigarette, its parts and compare its harmfulness with conventional cigarettes, especially in the current situation when smoking is not so fashionable in public. Based on the findings, it is noticeable that electronic cigarettes are trying to consolidate their position on the market on the one hand for a relatively short time, but on the other, successfully.

Effect of Nicotine Products´ Usage on Human Health.
DLOUHÝ, Aleš
This bachelor thesis deals with products that contain nicotine with a focus on electronic cigarettes. The aim of the work was to find out whether there are changes in the behavior and level of their use during the transition of users from classic tobacco products to electronic cigarettes. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part deals with the general history of tobacco. Furthermore, individual types of tobacco products are characterized here, especially products heating tobacco. This chapter is followed by a section on the treatment of nicotine addiction, including nicotine replacement therapy and pharmacological treatment. Much of the work is devoted to electronic cigarettes, their development, the principle of operation, division and fill into them. The end of the theoretical part focuses additive components, addiction its division and withdrawal symptoms. The last chapter deals with nicotine. It characterizes its chemical-physical properties and describes its effect on the human body. The aim of the second practical part of the work was based on a questionnaire, which contained 21 questions, the collection of answers and their evaluation. The questionnaire was completed by users of electronic cigarettes who had experience with tobacco products. A total of 435 respondents took part in the questionnaire survey. The results of the questionnaire survey were evaluated using the implemented tools of the Survio questionnaire platform, while important results were displayed graphically. The results of the research show that the behavior of electronic cigarettes is changing behavior and increasing the frequency of use compared to conventional cigarettes. This in turn causes a deepening of nicotine addiction. The practical benefit of this work should primarily consist in a comprehensive overview of all aspects that play a role in the transition of users to electronic cigarettes. Furthermore, it could be used as a basis for designing solutions that would facilitate the transition to electronic cigarettes and reduce the risk of increased nicotine dependence.

Spectral analysis of thermal decomposition of drugs and cigarette smoke
Vodenková, Eva ; Ferus, Martin (advisor) ; Nejdl, Lukáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the spectral analysis of combustion and thermolytic products of selected addictive substances. Spectral analyzes of smoke of various tobacco products (cigarette, electronic cigarettes, hookah) were performed in order to qualitatively determine the composition of smoke and compare the harmfulness of individual types. The main objective was to determine whether the electronic cigarettes are less harmful to health in terms of the composition of the main products detectable by high-resolution spectroscopy occurring in gas-phase smoke. Furthermore, the work deals with a more detailed analysis of drug thermolysis in a wider temperature range and repeatability of measurements over a longer period of time. New spectral single crystal radiation sources from Crytur were also used to measure absorption spectra and their applicability in the field of overton spectra was tested. All these measurements were performed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For tobacco products, less compounds were detected in electronic cigarettes and hookahs than in conventional cigarettes. In the case of drugs, we were able to confirm the repeatability of measurements and determine the percentage of individual substances at different temperatures. Furthermore, the applicability...

Designing the operation of a Vape Bar
Sultanzade, Teymur ; Martínez, Felipe (advisor) ; Jirsák, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to propose the design of the operation for a Vape Bar using operation management tools. Moreover, this BT provides first standards for operations of a Vape bar business in Prague. In the first chapter, Vape economy and its importance around the world is presented. This shows that its potentials are growing constantly and that the absence of such a business in Prague is an opportunity. The thesis then adheres the methodology of the process design framework, where it describes the importance and concepts of operation management tools. Finally, these methodologies are applied to design the operations in a Vape bar. First, the SIPOC tool is used to get a simple scope and the objectives of the operations before the work starts. Then, each point of the process design framework is designed and elaborated in detail in each following chapter. At the end, again the SIPOC tool is used to summarize the relevant information from previous chapters and to show the operation design proposal. As the results, the methodology is applied and the following findings yield to the conclusion that the first standardized projections of operation in a Vape bar constructed. This thesis is expected to be used as the general standards for operations in a Vape bar, thus making a small contribution to better controlling and management processes while running this business.
