How electronic cigarettes can help smokers
Electronic Cigarette (e-cigarette)
Smoking is a real nasty habit, and that’s putting it mildly. The truth is, smoking is nearly as deadly as a battlefield, claiming millions of lives each year as a result of damaged tissues and cancer-ridden cells caused by toxic chemicals ingested from tobacco smoke.
Smoking tobacco products damages almost every part of the human body and seriously undermines people’s overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, even people who do not smoke unfairly suffer from the side effects of second-hand smoke. Second-hand smoke is nearly as damaging as the tobacco smoke directly ingested by the smoker.
It’s a good thing that a product as promising as electronic cigarettes is introduced to smokers who are trapped between nicotine addiction and the intention to change their lifestyles. Electronic cigarette is the viable middle ground between completely quitting the habit and radically modifying it such that the habit is retained but with no harmful side effects. Electronic cigarettes are able to achieve this by using e-liquid instead of tobacco and by using heating, not burning as the main process for delivering the rush, flavor, and overall experience.
E-liquid does not contain the 250 or so toxic chemicals found in tobacco smoke. While being clean, e-liquid closely resembles tobacco smoke when it vaporizes, appealing to smokers who rather incur the health damage than quit smoking altogether. E-liquid also comes in a broad range of flavors including cappuccino, almond, spearmint, and cola. This makes e-liquid a lot more attractive and exciting than tobacco.
Besides safeguarding the health of smokers as well as the people around them, electronic cigarettes are perfect gadgets for the digital age. It is a device that is at home with smart phones, portable game consoles, mp3 players, and other personal electronic gadgets. Like most of these products, the electronic cigarette is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. There is even a battery charger that comes with the starter kit, along with a bottle or two of e-liquid flavors and spare mouthpieces. Today’s high-tech generations will be quite at home with the electronic cigarette. In addition, the popularity of electronic cigarettes and e-liquid flavors are gaining traction worldwide, due in large part to the ongoing campaigns against smoking.
But a substantial part of the reason why the electronic cigarette is becoming popular lies in its own remarkable merits. As mentioned, electronic cigarettes do harm users and the people near them. Electronic cigarettes also allow for the exploration and enjoyment of different e-liquid flavors that could be in the hundreds by now. Electronic cigarettes are also great digital gadgets that allow for extreme personalization and customization, given the influx of accessories, component upgrades, and different makes and models.
How Electronic Cigarettes Can Help Smokers STAY ADDICTED AND KEEP SMOKING
Many scary questions have arisen about e-cigs:
Just how much nicotine gets in your brain when you vape one cartridge? The amount of nicotine that you take in from e-cigs will depend on how many cartridges you suck on, how deeply you inhale, how often you partake, and to some extent, how much money you have to buy replacement cartridges. Manufacturers may make claims about the actual dose received but without pharmacological and physiological testing, the answers don’t have meaning.
Are e-cigs more addictive than tobacco cigarettes? Again, no one knows yet. The product is too new, and too few people have used it to date. A full blown epidemiology study is required.
Can e-cigs make you sick? Electronic cigarettes use nicotine extracted with petroleum-based chemicals from tobacco leaves and, as such, are artificially flavored. Nicotine is deadly When it’s inhaled, it inhibits blood flow to the skin which is one reason why smokers don’t heal well after surgery or from wounds and why smokers develop loads of wrinkles. Also when nicotine is inhaled, it is converted to amino ketones which can cause kidney damage.
It’s sad that ecig manufacturers and casaa (consumer addictts should avocate addiction)say where pretty sure ecigs are safe?????? Pretty sure? Is “pretty sure” that a product is safe good enough for you, or for your family? If it’s a product that you inhale or ingest, “pretty sure” just does not cut it.
The most frightening aspect of electronic cigarettes is that consumers who do not seek out data and who do not think critically might be convinced by the old hackneyed ad line: “This is Safe!” This same line was shouted by physicians in the 1950′s about tobacco cigarettes before the data was in and the truth was known–decades and millions of deaths and inpatients later. We just don’t know yet, but if you want to be one of the first poor guinea pigs who reveals the dangers and illnesses associated with e-cigs feel free.
E-cigarettes serve as a “bridge product” that smokers use in places
where traditional tobacco smoking is prohibited, thus perpetuating their
addiction and use of real cigarettes. Additionally, they may be used as a
‘starter’ product for young people considering smoking, especially since the
cartridges can be purchased over the Internet with tempting flavoring like
grape and chocolate.
