With the number of ‘vapers’ increasing, it seems the electronic cigarette phenomenon isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The market is growing and with e cig conventions happening all over the country, it seems electronic cigarette supporters won’t be giving up their hobby in the near future. The revolutionary way of smoking, e cigs offer users the smoking sensation minus some of the dangerous chemicals associated with tobacco.
With the huge array of electronic cigarettes available, there is always a new product to try out and the annual Vapefest is the perfect opportunity to exchange opinions on the latest creations. Those who have decided to quit smoking seem to have found solace in the e cig market and with the huge range of flavours and nicotine hits available, it seems the device is an upgrade rather than a consolation prize.
An independent study has found that e cigarette smokers are in fact saving themselves from exposure to the huge amount of harmful chemicals that accompany the traditional cigarette. As tobacco isn’t present in e cigs, there is no tar by product, which is one of the biggest causes of lung disease and cancer for smokers. The fact that tar has been taken out of the equation means it is automatically a lot less harmful than tobacco smoking.
Vapers, or electronic cigarette enthusiasts, are starting to reap the benefits are making the switch to electronic cigarettes; including the amount of money that can be saved. Buying an e cig is considerably cheaper than buying tobacco cigarettes and for those regular users it could even be seen as an investment. Electronic cigarettes can last for a long time and over the course of a year, great savings can be made on them and their products as opposed to the traditional cigarette.
Nicotine, the addictive substance in tobacco cigarettes is still present in e cigs, meaning the compulsion is still met. As many people understand, giving up smoking can be an extremely difficult task and many people have come forward and stated just how helpful electronic cigarettes have been when it came to quitting. Although doctors have specified that it is too early to treat e cigs as a harm reduction method, they went on to add that the potential is there. “It is the only available product that deals with both the chemical and psychological addiction.’
A recent report has found that the “levels of selected toxic compounds found in the smoke from a conventional cigarette were 9-450-fold higher than levels in the vapour of an e-cigarette” a positive result for e cig users who can now be sure they are no longer inhaling all the toxic chemicals that are associated with tobacco smoking.
Really nice post. Len is right – many lives can be saved with the advantages of electronic cigarettes. These cigarettes can help reducing or preventing the risk of cancers like lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, etc. as the tar is not present in these cigarettes. The prognosis for such diseases like mesothelioma prognosis are often not favorable as the survival period is just a year or two. The e cigs can definitely help avoiding such conditions.
I have never smoked and can not understand how anyone could willingly inhale toxic smoke. So obviously I don’t appreciate what challenges a nicotine addict faces. My mother smoked and died of lung cancer, but did try to kick the habit many times. I can’t help but wonder if she would have lived past 60 had there been eCigs or other brands of electronic cigarettes available sooner.
