E-Cigarettes are the new up and coming product.  What is so special about E-Cigarettes?  I was curious so I did some research and this is what I found out.  E-Cigarettes smoke like real cigarettes with none of the disgusting side effects.  E-Cigarettes are becoming the alternative to smoking real cigarettes.

Did you know that there are 599 additives in a tobacco cigarette, and that is not the worst part.  The burning of these additives changes their chemical compounds.  The burning of a cigarette while smoking produces over 4,000 chemical compounds, of which many are toxic and/or carcinogenic.  Not to mention the smoke that you inhale, which contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia, all of which are devastating to your health.  43 known carcinogens are in the smoke that you breathe and share with others around you.

The E-cigarette has no tobacco, smoke, or combustion involved in its operation; therefore, no burned chemicals. E-Cigarettes contain 20 ingredients, which are used in our food, health, and beauty products.  They have about the same amount of TSNAs (tobacco specific nitrosamines) as in FDA approved Nicotine Replacement Therapy products.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO):

Cancer is the second leading cause of death and was among the first Diseases causally linked to smoking.  Lung Cancer is obviously one of the major Diseases attributed to smoking.  But, did you know that smoking also causes Cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, bladder, stomach, and even the cervix, kidneys, and pancreas.  It’s true.

One of the big benefits of vaping (what they call smoking an E-cigarette) instead of smoking tobacco cigarettes is that the idea is to lower these statistics and lessen the devastating health effects of smoking tobacco.  Vaping an E-cigarette will not eliminate these statistics, but the hope is that the use of this product will lessen the damages caused because of fewer detrimental chemicals in the E-cigarette.

Vaping E-cigarettes does eliminate the need for nasty, stinky, tar sticky, ashtrays lying around.  They do not cause bad cigarette breath.  No cigarette smelling clothes.  No smoky smelling cars.  No cigarette butts to dispose of “properly”.

And, obviously, one of the biggest benefits is no second-hand smoke, so no more being ostracized from the public.  This product is not as offensive as cigarettes and may become an acceptable alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes in public.  And, of course my biggest hope is that by using this product, smokers will be able to wean themselves off cigarettes completely and reap all of the benefits of quitting.

After the public smoking ban in many parts of the world, pubs and bars have gone out of their way to cater for smokers, going to great lengths to provide “outdoor” smoking areas for those still craving thier cigarettes. After all, imagine the potential business that would be lost if these facilities were not provided.

As helpful as these facilities may be, there is still no denying that most smokers would relish a return to the bar to light up and avoid the bitter cold weather and pouring rain during the winter months especially. Whilst the non smoker rejoices in a smoke Free environment, the smoker curses his/her luck and wishes there was a better solution.

Could the electronic cigarette be once such solution? The e cig as its often referred to emits no smoke, only a vapour, which in most places is excluded from the smoking ban. In effect this means the smoker of an electronic cigarette is relatively Free to smoke in public places. There are even some airlines that permit the use of them on their Flights.

Non smoking friends and colleagues cannot gripe about breathing in second hand smoke or about their clothes smelling of stale cigarettes because it simply doesnt occur with the e cigarette. It appears that the electronic cigarette strikes the first blow in the battle of the cigarettes. Being able to smoke in public places gives it the first home run of the series.

Look out for more in this series soon. In the meantime, its electronic cigarette one – regular tobacco cigarette zero!
