Top 10 things you need to know about E-Cigarettes
-
E-Cigs Do Not Produce Smoke - It is not uncommon for news reports and editorials to state that electronic cigarettes emit smoke. They do not. By definition, they cannot emit smoke because they do not utilise the combustion process.
-
E-Cigs are not Marketed to Children - One of the fears of electronic cigarette opponents is that e-cig distributors are targeting children. Nothing could be further from the truth. A visit to any number of manufacturer and distributor websites reveals clearly stated warnings and descriptions of whom the products are intended for.
-
E-Cig Are a Tobacco Alternative - Electric cigarettes are designed to be tobacco alternatives and nothing more. While it is true many e-cig users have employed the devices to quit smoking, results vary among individuals.
-
Vaping is Less Expensive - As the price of tobacco continues to increase, electronic cigarettes are proving significantly less expensive. Some users save as much a 70% per year depending on the brand and model they have chosen.
-
Vaping is not Included in Smoking Bans - In most countries, electronic cigarettes are not included in smoking bans because they do not produce any smoke.
-
E-Cigs Increase Productivity at Work - During the latter part of 2011 there were several London- based companies that decided to provide free electronic cigarettes to smoking employees to see if productivity increased. Not surprisingly, it did. Smokers stayed at their workstations throughout the day rather than having to go outside every few hours for smoke.
-
E-Cigs Provide a Realistic Smoking Simulation - One of the reasons for e-cigs eclipsing nicotine replacement therapies in terms of sales is the fact that they provide a very realistic simulation of smoking. This simulation does what no other tobacco alternative product can do: it answers all the cravings of the smoking habit without the smoke.
-
Vapers Are Not on the Fringe - Some media reports would have you believe that vapers are on the fringe of society and unable to cope because they are addicted to tobacco. That is not true. Vapers are normal people who go to work, contribute to their communities, and love their families.
-
E-Cig Vaper Does Not Contain Formaldehyde - A recent air-quality study done in Germany, at Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research WKI in Braunschweig, has put the formaldehyde myth to rest once and for all.
-
E-Cig Liquid Does Not Contain Harmful Levels of Carcinogens - The U.S. FDA study that started the whole carcinogens scare states, in the fine print, that any harmful substances found in e-cigarette liquid are in amounts too small to pose a danger to human health.
