Stop Smoking

The electronic cigarette is a revolutionary device that is becoming ever more popular and is creating some serious buzz throughout the world. Not all the parties taking part in elevating this buzz are adequately informed because there simply is not a lot of information out there regarding this product, given its relative newness. Even the United States Food and Drug administration, the body responsible for the regulation of ” you guessed it ” food and drugs, are not entirely sure whether to ban or accept this product, nor do they even know if they have jurisdiction over it.

There is widespread separation in views as regards whether it is a device designed to help persons quit smoking or just another smoking alternative. In fact, from my research, I have found evidence to suggest that electronic cigarettes can function as both of the above; as they have features that can help quitters and some that can help others to substitute them for regular cigarettes.

So can the limited information available tell us whether the electronic cigarette is a less harmful alternative for smoking a regular cigarette? The answer lies in its features. The regular cigarette is famous for its tobacco, tobacco smoke and nicotine content, which when combined are very potent and can cause a host of harmful diseases (such as throat and lung cancer) which can, and often do, lead to death.

The electronic cigarette does not contain tobacco, so it obviously eliminates the risk of tobacco related illness and death. Since it has no tobacco, it obviously emits no tobacco smoke, so the dangers of this smoke are also averted.

In turn, the fact that it has no tobacco smoke also wards off the hazards of second-hand smoke. Several persons are of the opinion that second-hand smoke is more hazardous to those open to its elements than first-hand smoke. This is because the particles in second-hand smoke are minor when compared to those of first-hand smoke so they can reach further into the lungs and cause more harm.

Instead of smoke, the electronic cigarette emits a vapour which does not affect breath or clothes in terms of smell, does not affect teeth and is not proven to be harmful. The no harm part has not been confirmed though, as some educated persons think that studies might show long-run damage potential in the vapour. The electronic cigarette does contain nicotine though. Even so, it allows the user the liberty of being able to choose the level of nicotine he or she wishes to consume. It is in this way that electronic cigarette is said to help smokers to quit.

By and large, it appears as though the electronic cigarette might be a first-rate product. There is no undeniable substantiation over many of its producers assertions but the accessible evidence suggests that it might arguably be a good buy.
