Tobacco was initially used by pre-Columbian Native Americans, who smoked it in pipes and even used it for hallucinogenic purposes in shamanic rituals. Christopher Columbus was given tobacco by natives and introduced it Europe when he returned from North America. However, tobacco did not become widely used in Europe until the middle of the 16th century, when explorers and diplomats such as France’s Jean Nicot (for whom nicotine was named) popularized its use.Tobacco was introduced to France in 1556, Portugal in 1558, Spain in 1559, and England in 1565.Initially, tobacco was produced for pipe smoking, chewing and snuff. Cigarettes were made in a crude, hand-rolled form since the early 1600s, but did not become popular in America until after the civil war. Cigarette sales surged with introduction of the cigarette rolling machine by James Bonsack in 1883, in a contest sponsored by tobacco company Allen and Ginter, who promised $75,000 to the first person to invent a fast cigarette-rolling machine. This facilitated industrialized production and widespread distribution of cigarettes.Since then, Nicotine Addiction has become a public-health concern in virtually every nation on Earth.Warnings about the health risks of smoking were muted until the 1950′s and 1960′s, when a series of unsuccessful lawsuits forced the issue into the public eye. Not until the 1990′s would a lawsuit be won by the plaintiff. However, the American Surgeon General first demanded that warning labels be placed on cigarette packages started in 1966. Both the tar and nicotine in cigarettes are toxins, each its own way; and that’s without mentioning the poisonous substances such as arsenic used in the curing process. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin or cocaine, and has long-lasting effects on the brain’s dopamine systems. The “tar” which filters attempt to remove falls into four categories of substances: nitrosamines, widely held to be the most carcinogenic of all the agents in tobacco smoke; aldehydes, created by the burning of sugars and cellulose in tobacco; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which form in the cigarette behind the burning tip; and trace amounts of heavy metals from fertilizers used to grow the plant.Tobacco companies were loath to admit in public that they knew the dangers posed by their product; however, in a sideways concession to tobacco foes, they produced what were advertised as “safer” filtered cigarettes. In the 1958 a scientist working for Philip Morris went so far as to admit publicly that, “Evidence is builing up that heavy smoking contributes to lung Cancer.” He cleverly suggested that this admission could be turned into a “wealth of ammunition” to attack the competion by suggesting that Philip Morris, unlike its competitors, made cigarettes with filters to screen out the toxins. In 1986 the CEO of British American Tobacco, Patrick Sheehy, had a different opinion, and wrote that, “in attempting to develop a “Safe” cigarette you are, by implication, in danger of being interpreted as accepting the current product is unsafe, and this is not a position that I think we should take.” However much tobacco executives attempted to hide the dangers of their product from the public, increasing market demand eventually forced all cigarette companies to develop some filter systems for their cigarettes. Filtered cigarettes accounted for only 1 percent of cigarette purchases in 1950, but this had soared to 87 percent by 1975.However, the development of filtered cigarettes met two hurdles, one medical and the other a matter of personal taste. Because smokers are nicotine addicts, they will smoke until their craving for nicotine is satisfied. A filter which removes nicotine will simply prompt them to inhale more deeply or smoke more cigarettes. A filter which removes the tar components of tobacco will remove the taste and smoking sensation to which smokers have become accustomed, and consumers find such a product lacking in “flavor”. Due to compensatory behavior by smokers, the amount of toxins consumed is not significantly less than from an unfiltered cigarette, and there is no proof filtered cigarettes are less of health risk. Still, tobacco companies persist in their efforts to develop better filters. Often they are hampered not by lack of technical knowledge but by consumer behavior. In 1975, Brown and Williamson introduced a new cigarette called Fact, with a new filter designed to selectively remove toxic compounds such a cyanide. However the product did not please consumers, and was removed from the market two years later.An internet search for “cigarette filter patent” produces 425,000 results as manufacturers strive to outdo each over in the invention of filter materials and baffles to construct a cigarette which they claim is less toxic but still appealing to smokers. It is difficult to make a filter which removes tar but not nicotine, and tobacco companies have now focused their attention on growing tobacco plants with a higher nicotine content, in order to satisfy smokers’ Nicotine Addiction with proportionately less exposure to tar. Rumors that cigarette companies “spike”their products with extra nicotine have met with public uproar, since cigarettes are sold as a natural agricultural product. Scientists have also experiments with tobacco substitutes , with ingredients such as wood pulp, which would produce smoke flavor with less tar. Legal hurdles have stopped such projects, as they are no longer “natural” but rather an artificially-manufactured substance about which health claims are being made. Such products are treated as drugs, and subject to lengthy regulatory battles before they are allowed to be sold. For the tobacco companies, manipulating naturally-grown tobacco leaf is cheaper and more profitable in a competitive marketplace.Since a cigarette is basically a delivery system for an addictive drug, nicotine, it is theoretically possible to produce a product which has only nicotine, without the diversion of tar. In fact, such a product exists: the nicotine patch. At its most basic level, it has exactly the same function as a cigarette. However, it has less social cachet than the packaging, rituals and paraphenalia associated with smoking: it is for people who want to wean themselves off their addiction.http://www.youwillquit.comhttp://www.life-extension-now.com

The setback for the tobacco industry comes as Parliament’s health select committee is expected today to support a petition to ban tobacco and cigarette displays in shops.

Adrian Sparrow, the commission’s director of fair trading, said that “light” cigarettes tended to be inhaled more deeply or more often, nullifying the effect of reduced toxins.

Three cigarette brands British American Tobacco, Philip Morris and Imperial Tobacco have pledged to stop using the “light” and “mild” terms after investigations by the commission.

“If you smoke light or mild cigarettes believing these to be less harmful to your health, you are probably fooling yourself,” Sparrow added.

As scientists said there are no Safe cigarettes, all cigarettes only can harm people’s health but not protect it.

Brendan Baker, Ministry of Health senior analyst of tobacco control also said that terms such as “mild” or “light” on other consumer products were proven to imply a reduced risk.

But three smokers of “mild” cigarettes in Christchurch’s Cathedral Square said that they know that “mild” cigarettes are no safer, but they preferred the taste.

Stephen Rajasigamany, Philip Morris spokesman, said that the company would stop using the “light” and “mild” descriptions on its packets from October 17. The company wanted the Government to regulate the use of cigarette descriptions so they could be applied equally to all tobacco firms.

Scientists are sure that a ban on cigarette and tobacco displays would help people trying to quit smoking.

Later, some subtle spice creeps in (particularly when smoked through the nose), but it doesn’t overwhelm the Cabaiguan’s excellent balance. The finish is long and toasty.

Overall, this medium-bodied cigar has none of the chemical Flavors that sometimes plague Connecticut-wrapped smokes. And nothing in the construction of the cigar—with its even burn and easy draw—distracted from its complex flavor profile.

Electronic cigarettes are continually gaining popularity as tobacco replacements in a society that is anxious for discovering effective ways to quit smoking. Just this past March, an article published by BBC News in the UK revealed that in October of the past year, some retailers were reporting sales of around 1,000 starter packs a month, and Electronic cigarettes, which used to be sold completely online, are now finding their way into sales kiosks and supermarkets. The demand for Electronic cigarettes has escalated enough that it is now beginning to hit the main stream.

This growing popularity is a feasible alternative to tobacco and due largely to the fact that the electronic cigarette is seen as a Safe substitute to regular cigarettes. Your average tobacco product contains somewhere around 4000 harmful chemicals, 43 of which are known to cause Cancer in humans. These include, but are not limited to: Tar, carbon monoxide, benzene-a petrol additive, formaldehyde-an embalming fluid, ammonia-a toilet cleaner, and even arsenic-the rat poison.

Electronic cigarettes have none of these components. The only chemical it retains from its predecessor is nicotine, which allows smokers to still have the feel of smoking a cigarette, even if there is no smoke produced, and thus no second hand smoke that can be harmful to non-smokers. The nicotine is delivered through a Propylene Glycol solution, which is harmless and found to be extremely Safe by clinical tests.

Electronic cigarettes also look, feel and even taste like regular cigarettes, but are far superior because they are by and large safer than tobacco products. Smokers who are serious about going tobacco Free should seriously consider the electronic cigarette as a healthier and safer alternative.

Before Buying electronic cigarettes however, make sure you do your homework and research by comparing the Top smokeless cigarette brands (Smokestik).  Too many people get caught up at the smokeless bars buying the cheap chinese brands only to find out a week or two later the device either breaks down or just dosen’t produce enough inhale and vapor to satisfy.  Don’t let this happen to you and miss out on a chance to finally quit smoking for good.

Since 2006, the electronic cigarette has gained the attention of millions of individuals all over the world. It has been deemed “a Safe alternative” for smoking and in this article we are going to discuss whether or not that claim is valid. An undeniable fact is that cigarettes are deadly, causing Cancer, COPD, Emphysema and whole range of other Diseases. Then, add an extremely addicting drug known as nicotine and you have a recipe for disaster! Nicotine may be addicting, but that isn’t what has killed millions and millions of people around the globe. It is the by-products inside the cigarette that kill. Heat, tar, smoke and 4,000 chemicals are the well known by-products of a cigarette. Just a few of the deadly substances being inhaled when an individual takes drag off a cigarette are carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, arsenic, hydrocyanic acid, hydragyrum and acrolein. But does the electronic cigarette have any of these deadly attributes? The electronic cigarette requires a battery which activates an atomizer, when inhaled, that turns the nicotine in the Cartridge into tiny droplets which are inhaled into the body to curve the cravings of nicotine. The electronic cigarette does not require combustion and therefore doesn’t generate any combustion related smoke which leads to zero tar build up in the lungs and nearly eliminates all chemicals commonly found in ordinary cigarettes. However, the  Electronic Cigarette does emit a small amount of smoke to give the smoker an illusion he/she is smoking a real cigarette.   Smokeless Cigarettes have become accepted as a Safe alternative by the public as well as the Medical Association. Although not confirmed, electronic cigarettes may soon become an accepted tool for helping smokers quit. Since the Electronic Cigarette has the ability to be adjusted for different dosages of nicotine, an individual trying to quit can gradually lower the nicotine levels until she/he can stop smoking altogether without the fear of having withdrawls. The electronic Refill cartridges come at different fill levels such as full, half, and near empty. And this can be utilized to help an individual quit. Although electronic cigarettes have not been confirmed to be utilized in this regard the potential is very apparent.  More research may need to be conducted to understand the effects of this type of nicotine admistration. The Electronic Cigarette lacks many (if not all) of the deadly attributes that traditional cigarettes carry. It certainly has been the biggest breakthrough in reducing the hazardous effects of cigarettes. It is recommend you contact your doctor before using the Electronic Cigarette if you have any cardiac problems or cigarette related Diseases.

If you’re a smoker, you may have noticed that your cigarettes have started going out every couple of minutes and need to be relit.  You also may have noticed that your cigarettes now taste like copper.  These things are annoying to smokers, but the more serious side effects of fire Safe cigarettes should really be what we’re concerned about.

Every state in the US has now passed legislation making it mandatory for cigarettes to contain bands of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).  This makes cigarettes less of a fire hazard because if you’re not actively, and reportedly forcefully, inhaling the smoke as the fire reaches one of these bands, the cigarette will put itself out.  These cigarettes are called reduced ignition propensity (RIP) cigarettes, fire Safety cigarettes, or fire Safe cigarettes.

This legislation is expected to save anywhere from 700 to 1,000 lives a year.  Well, considering that cigarettes are already a tremendous risk to your health and a significant portion of deaths caused by cigarette fires each year are children, this legislation may not be such a bad thing.  However, if you are a smoker, then you should be aware of the additional health risks that are now added to the long laundry list of already established smoking health hazards.

When you research fire Safe cigarettes, you may notice that a lot of smokers are complaining of increased sickness.  Many have suddenly developed asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).  Smokers also complain of nausea, vomiting, and dizziness that they associate with smoking fire Safe cigarettes.  However, cigarette sales have not changed at all since all of this started.  That tells us that everyone is complaining about their health and blaming it on these cigarettes, but no one is going to give it up.  We’d rather suffer and complain than face this terrible addiction.

The Harvard School of Public Health and the American Legacy Foundation did their research and found that non-fire safe cigarettes had the same toxic compounds as fire safe cigarettes.  So, why are so many people suddenly getting sick?  The main reason that people are suddenly noticing that cigarettes are making them sick is that when they smoke fire safe cigarettes, they have to deeply and forcefully inhale to keep the cigarette lit.  This does more immediate damage to the lungs and puts you at a much higher risk for lung Diseases.

There is no such thing as a “safe” cigarette.  All natural cigarettes, cigars that you just puff, menthols, lights, and herbal cigarettes all have the same health risks.  Electronic cigarettes have actually been found to be 1,400 times safer than conventional cigarettes.  Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to quit, because you are mentally and physically dependant on nicotine and the thousands of other chemicals that you put into your body every day.

People are addicted.  There’s no question about it.  The only way to fight this addiction is to get these chemicals out of our bodies, change our habits, and start actually fighting back against the tobacco companies that offer these harmful products to the public.

In “Part 2″ of this article series, we will discuss how to detoxify your body, get rid of the chemicals and nicotine, and start to repair your health.  Vitamin C supplements, like vitamin C powder, can help you to reclaim your health.  A lot of vitamins and supplements can help you to repair your cells, fight the side effects of addiction withdrawal, and lower the stress of quitting.

Since 2006, the electronic cigarette has attracted millions of people around the world who have switched from traditional cigarettes to the e-cigarette, also referred to as the “Safe cigarette, the e-cigarette, and the smokeless cigarette”.
Electronic cigarettes share some aspects of there traditional counterparts, such as appearance, feel and taste of a normal cigarette. But the differences are substantial in that the “Safe cigarette” gets it’s name because it produces none of the negative aspects of traditional smoking like tar, ignition (heat), up to 4000 types of chemical additives that often lead to Respiratory and cardiac system Diseases, nor the carcinogenic effects of traditional cigarettes.
Ever since the Surgeon General determined that cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health, cigarette companies have searched for ways to reduce tar and nicotine levels, in efforts to create a more Safe smoking experience. Nothing, however, has ever come close to the electronic cigarette.
This revolutionary new smoking alternative, not only simulates cigarette smoke but also the temperature associated with dragging off a common cigarette (50-60 degrees Celsius), thus adding to the psychological habit without adding the hazardous substances which have proven to cause cancerous, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocyanic acid, acrolein, arsenic, lead and hydragyrum.
Smokeless Cigarettes were first viewed with trepidation but more and more have become embraced by the public as well as the Medical Association. E-Cigarettes are now manufactured by a number of different companies throughout the US and China and are readily available across the United States and Europe, even the some of the most ardent skeptics have become believers once they try the electronic cigarette.
Adding to the Safety benefits, the electronic cigarette has also been proven as a way for smokers to quit the habit, as the level of nicotine can be carefully monitored, thus giving the smoker the option of gradually lowering the level until he/she can quit without fear of withdrawals. Most electronic cigarette Refill cartridges are available in full, medium, light and none, and while electronic cigarettes are not yet approved as smoking cessation devices, the potential for the devices to be used as such is somewhat obvious.
It’s recommended that people who have demonstrated a sensitivity or allergy to nicotine, Pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have unstable heart conditions should discuss the use of an Electronic Cigarette device with a doctor before using one. Additionally, electronic cigarettes may not be used by anyone under the legal smoking age in your state.

Once looked upon as a fad product, the electronic cigarette has now gained major acceptance in the cigarette alternatives world. But is the electronic cigarette Safe? The question can only be answered by first reviewing the relevant facts.

What Makes Smoking So Dangerous
Smoking tobacco products is known to be a health hazard because of the chemicals in the smoke. Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide, tar, nicotine, and a number of known carcinogens. These things increase the risks of Cancer and cardiovascular Diseases. Moreover, the second hand smoke is even more deadly than the original smoke. This is because smoke particles better adhere to lung tissues when they are cooled down.

What is in the electronic cigarette vapor
Most electronic cigarettes generate a smoke-like vapor through an atomizer, which heats a solution into vapor and delivers it to the user. The solution, which is completely formulated by man, contains a number of substances. These substances include water, glycerin (food additive), nicotine, and Flavors. The number of substances in this nicotine solution is far fewer than the chemicals present in regular tobacco smoke, which has more than 3,000 distinct and harmful components. But is electronic cigarette Safe to use? Let’s have the nicotine talk first.

Nicotine – Health Hazards and Addictiveness
Nicotine is often associated with lung Cancer. However, there is no scientific evidence that nicotine is carcinogenic (Cancer-causing). In fact, it is the other chemicals in tobacco smoke that lead to lung Cancer. Nicotine, however, is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease.

Nicotine is only mildly addictive by itself. Nevertheless, smokers find cigarettes hard to quit because both the 3,000+ chemicals and the physical habit play a role in developing dependency. Electronic cigarettes, on the other hand, knock it down to only nicotine and the physical act of smoking itself. For this reason, it is possible that E-Cigarettes do not carry the same addictiveness as their counterparts.

Conclusion – Is electronic cigarette Safe?
I believe answer to this question should be a relative one. Because the Electronic Cigarette does not contain thousands of unwanted chemicals and carcinogens, it is absolutely safer than regular cigarettes. Users of this product are often chronic smokers who are looking for a healthier alternative to cigarettes. For them, this switch is frequently described as life-changing.

Some opponents may argue that electronic cigarettes only give people an excuse to continue smoking. They could be right, if the product steers smokers away from quitting to settling for the next best (worse) thing. However, given the fact that a majority of chronic smokers simply accept their fate and continue to use cigarettes, the Electronic Cigarette is a much, much safer and attractive alternative. The product mimics the appearance and the nicotine level of a real cigarette and gives the user the option of reducing health risks without actually quitting.

Some cigarette companies maintain that electronic cigarettes are unsafe. This is downright stupid because they are dismissing a much safer product in order to promote inhalation of their infamous and undisputed poison – tobacco smoke.

Quitting, however, will always remain the best thing to do. For this reason, ethical Electronic Cigarette makers do not market their products as smoke cessation tools. E-cigarette users are, after all, still smoking. Also, because electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, Pregnant women and people who do not already smoke should never go near one.
