E Cigarette Or Tobacco Cigarette – Which Is Better?

without comments

Tobacco cigarettes were accepted by people and society just a few decades ago, but after medical research was conducted it was found that they do more harm than good. Similarly, the electronic cigarette gained much fame and controversy from the day they were made available to the market. But the question remains: which one is better, the electronic cigarette or the tobacco cigarette?

Traditional cigarettes consist of two parts: paper and a tobacco concoction. The dried tobacco leaves are rolled up with thin paper, and then it can be smoked by someone. The electronic cigarette consists of three parts: the battery, the atomizer, and the mouthpiece. The battery makes the e cigarette functional, the atomizer is the small device used to heat up the liquid solution, and the mouthpiece contains the cartridge that holds the liquid solution.

Tobacco in a cigarette by itself probably would not be so bad, but the fact that other ingredients are combined with it is bad. A single cigarette can contain over 4,000 chemicals, 43 of which are cancer-causing agents, and include tar, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and a huge list of other chemicals that you would otherwise not ingest. On the other hand, the liquid solution used in an e cigarette contains about 10 to 20 ingredients. The majority of the solution is comprised of propylene glycol, and the other ingredients can include vinegar, natural and artificial flavoring, and a couple of other ingredients. The only ingredient you should be weary about is nicotine, which can be lethal if ingested in huge doses, but that could also be found in tobacco cigarettes.

Due to the harmful side effects of secondhand smoke, smoking a tobacco cigarette in all public buildings has been banned. Smoking outside of a building? Probably not allowed either, depending on state laws. The e cigarette, as of this time, can be smoked anywhere because there is no dangerous secondhand smoke emitted from the device when you exhale. The smoke-like mist you see coming from the end of the e cigarette is just an odorless vapor that doesn’t contain nicotine or any of the chemicals the “smoker” just inhaled.

The clear winner here is the e cigarette, and as beneficial as these devices are, it seems that certain interest groups and even the own FDA have been cautioning against them a little too much. Because it is contains nicotine, it is being classified as a drug delivery system and additional research will have to be conducted to see the dangers posed by these e cigarettes, if any. Perhaps it is not in the interest of individuals that the FDA is concerned with but the interest of those who help to line their pockets. Just speculation.

Some Real Facts About The Electronic Cigarette

without comments

You might have already heard about some of the news and rumors that are going around about the electronic cigarette device if you are a smoker. You are probably still on the fence about what you think about the device and may need to know a few more facts before you make up your mind about whether or not this is the product for you or someone you know who smokes.

The first thing you need to know is that the electronic cigarette is not, as of yet, approved by the Food and Drug Administration due to a fear that if a smoker were to misuse the device, they may receive nicotine poisoning. So there is a legitimate call for caution before deciding if this is what you need. However, there are also many health officials who believe the device to be a much much healthier alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes.

The electronic cigarette is considered healthier because it does not use many of the chemicals that the big tobacco corporations put into conventional cigarettes. It also does not use tobacco, fire, or smoke. Instead, what takes the place of the smoke is a liquid solution that is composed of water, alcohol, nicotine, and various other liquids.

Since you have heard about the electronic cigarette, you have heard many people say that it is cancer free. This comes from the fact that many of the chemicals that are known to cause lung cancer are completely left out, but research is still being conducted to determine how much safer this device can be as far as cancer or other side affects are concerned. There is no guarantee as of yet that the product is completely harmless, but what is known is that is more than likely better than burning tobacco.

Another aspect of the electronic cigarette that is receiving attention is that it is very cost efficient. Just one of the cartridges that contains the e-liquid is the equivalent of one whole pack of cigarettes. This makes the electronic cigarette a more economy friendly cigarette. A feature the electronic cigarette has that your friends and family may like is that it has no odor. And the smoke that is emitted is actually a liquid vapor that does not stain your teeth or make your furniture smelly. It is important that you do some of your own research before you make the decision of whether or not the electronic cigarette is the product for you. You should ask people who have used it before and see if they were satisfied with the product and got the results they were looking for.

Why Is Smoking Such A Bad Thing For You

without comments

Cigarettes were first accepted as a sociable act, but research has uncovered that it is very unhealthy. If you smoke, you are hurting yourself and others near you. Smoking is bad because it causes cancer and breathing problems for you, too. It is a bad habit that you don’t need. You think you do, but you don’t. It is all in your head. Your mind knows it is not good for you, but your body thinks that it needs the cigarette to get through the day. Cigarettes have a lot of chemicals in it and toxins. When it is smoked, it is dispersed into the air, and it will affect anyone who is there.

As a young kid, you think that smoking is a cool thing to do because all of your friends are doing it. Well, pictures of x-rays will tell you differently. It damages your insides and the outside of your body as well. Lung cancer is not a pretty thing to see or have because it can kill you. It will take years off of your life and make you look old. Smoking will turn your teeth yellow and give you mouth cancer, too. Your teeth can even rot, and they can fall out due to the damage of the cigarettes. Smoking can also cause birth defects, and it can hurt a baby’s ears and lungs. Cigarettes have thousands of toxins in just one cigarette. All it takes is just one cigarette to make you addicted to it, and then you’re hooked on them.

You need to stop smoking because your health will get better, if it isn’t already bad. You will save hundreds of dollars per year by not smoking, and you can save your life and someone else’s life for that matter. Smoking causes wrinkles, and it ages the skin. It can also make your hair get thinner, and it can fall out if it gets really bad.

When you run, you can feel it because you will have less air in your lungs to breathe in. It can make you tired and dizzy, too, especially if you have been smoking for years and years. It can take that time or it can get you right away. It can make your nails brittle and your finger turn yellow. It makes your house smoky and smell like a cigarette ash tray. So try to stop smoking for your own safety and your family’s well-being.
