The Realistic Option Of E-Cigarettes Is Newly Recognized By The Smoking Public

By: Mary Kay Rivers

The FDA issued vague warnings about the benefit of electronic cigarettes as it bowed to pressure of highly paid tobacco lobbyists. Such misinformation has led consumers to question the benefit of e-cigarettes but that cloud of suspicion is gone once buyers learn the truth. Many myths about electronic smoking products are spread by big tobacco and big pharma in an attempt to damage or ban what they now know is a competing product in the U.S. market.

Consumers see through the paltry attempts to dismiss electronic cigarettes and the benefits they offer to smokers. The groups who speak out against e-smoking stop short of recommending tobacco as a better alternative to e-cigarettes. Considering the 4000+ chemicals released with the smoke from burning tobacco, such a claim would be foolhardy. As they learn the truth, smokers are increasingly turning to e-cigarettes as a logical and safer tobacco alternative.

Electronic cigarettes contains only about 20 ingredients and use propylene glycol to create the vapor that delivers nicotine and flavor to the e-smoker. Though opponents of e-cigarettes have insinuated PG is antifreeze that is simply not the truth. The main ingredient used in antifreeze is ethylene glycol which is a different chemical compound.

Scientific research using mice, monkeys and other lab animals found no ill effects associated with propylene glycol in inhalable form. It does not cause irritation to the mouth or throat and some evidence exists that PG may have beneficial effects in preventing some respiratory diseases.

The lack of harm to the environment is another benefit of the e-cigarette. People around an e-smoker are not subjected to second hand smoke as the vapor mist dissipates quickly like steam does when water is boiled.

Once again smokers can relax in their favorite chair while they enjoy an e-cigarette. The stale odor we associate with smokers is nonexistent and with no risk to family and friends, e-smokers can indulge their habit anywhere they want. No longer must you stand outside in bad weather just to grab a hit of nicotine.

With no fire involved, the risk of children finding matches or lighters is removed and you will no longer find burn holes in your favorite slacks or on the seat of your car. There is no smoldering ash to drop unexpectedly and an e-smoker who dozes off on the couch will not be risking a fire.

The popularity and sales of e-smokes have risen rapidly as the price of tobacco has increased. A bad economy and need for cash has led to increases in tobacco taxes at the federal level and in many states. It is common for a smoker to pay $5-10 for one pack of standard cigarettes. Even the best e-cigarette will cost the equivalent of $2 per pack. The cost advantage is clear and is reflected in the rapid increase in sales of e-cigarettes and supplies.

The benefit to be found in smoke an e-cigarette is not only the health concern but also the ease of use, acceptability, and the cost when compared to expensive tobacco. It is this combined of benefits that is driving the popularity of the the best e-cigarettes.
