Whales are dying because of whaling (hunting). We kill whales for things like oil, piano keys( made out of their teeth) for food and much much more. But since we killed off so many, and that whales take a long time to reproduce so the whales are dying more then they're being born.
Blue Whales are Carnivores. Its favorite food is "Krill". An Adult blue whale can kill upto 40 million krill per day. They can eat nearly 3500 kilograms of krill in a single day. They need nearly 1.5 million kilocalories of energy per day and so, they nearly eat nonstop. Small fish, crustaceans and squids too get caught when they trap krill in their mouth.
They scoop up large quantities of water into their mouth along with krill and other small aquatic creatures and then filters and push the water out. All remaining animals are swallowed.

Are blue whales close to be extinct?
Blue Whale populations have declined significantly due to extensive and uncontrolled hunting. Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission. But, by 1970 330,000 blue whales had been caught & killed in the Antarctic, 33,000 in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, 8,200 in the North Pacific, and 7,000 in the North Atlantic. The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count.
Now that the hunting of these giant animals is banned, their numbers has started to increase and I don't think they will go extinct.

2. it effects the food chain because all of the things that the blue whale eats , it cant eat anymore

What does whales with teeth eat?
Toothless whales, also called baleen whales, eat small marine organisms called zooplankton that occur in huge numbers in the ocean. When feeding, these whales open up their mouths and take in huge gulps of both zooplankton and water. The water is filtered through the baleen "plates" that act like colanders to let the water out and the zooplankton stays behind in the whales mouth. The zooplankton are then swallowed. They can eat from 5 to eight tons of zooplankton per day!
