E-Cigs- What a few Doctors have to say about E-Cigs

The uses of electronic cigarettes have recently grabbed the attention of countless tobacco users worldwide. Are they really a healthier and cheaper alternative to traditional cigarettes? Creators and product users claim you can enjoy a cheaper, healthier cigarette without the bad smells, second-hand smoke, or cancer causing chemicals. With these huge claims, we decided to investigate the electronic cigarette for our readers.

A few of the benefits claimed from using the electronic cigarette:

•             No tar, tobacco, carbon monoxide, or ash.

•             Get the same amount of nicotine as a regular cigarette.

•             Each cartridge costs less than $1.50 and is equivalent to an entire pack of cigarettes.

•             The average consumer can expect to save over $3,000 each year

•             You won’t “smell” like a smoker any longer.

•             Different flavors are available.

•             No more second-hand smoke.

We first researched exactly what expert medical doctors and product users had to say about electronic cigarettes, and the results were surprising. In fact, a study by researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health in 2010 concluded that electronic cigarettes were safer than real cigarettes and may aid in breaking the habit of smoking. "Electronic cigarettes were found to be "much safer" than traditional tobacco ones, and had a level of toxicity similar to existing nicotine replacements". In the report, the level of carcinogens in electronic cigarettes was found to be up to 1,000 times lower than regular cigarettes. It also said early evidence shows that electronic cigarettes may help people to stop smoking by simulating a tobacco cigarette

Doctors have even suggested that while utilizing the electronic cigarette, there is virtually no risk of getting cancer. These conclusions come from studies which show that nicotine is about as equally harmful to your health as caffeine. These studies also show that the real harm in traditional cigarettes comes from the tobacco smoke and the hundreds of additional added chemicals.

Four very well-known doctors, from the popular TV show “The Doctors”, have also studied the electronic cigarette and was featured as one of their top 10 key health trends for 2010. “The Electronic Cigarette gives you nicotine, but it doesn't give you any of the other 4,000 chemicals from a cigarette that can cause cancer, among other problems.”- Dr. Travis Stork from “The Doctors”

We also learned that the electronic cigarettes is not encompassed by most smoking bans and regulations. With the lack of second-hand smoke, smokers are excited to find that many businesses, bars, and even air planes allow them to smoke e-cigarettes indoors. Many electronic cigarette users have also received special permission from their employers to smoke e-cigarettes in the work place.

In the United States alone, over 700,000 smokers have already switched to electronic cigarettes.

 Beverly, a smoker of 15 years was interviewed, one of the many whose life has dramatically changed thanks to the electronic cigarette. She concluded that she smoked almost two packs a day for 15 years, and she thought that she would never quit. To her surprise though, when she tried electronic cigarettes she was able to become cigarette free two days later. “As a smoker, I would recommend this product to anyone who plans on becoming cigarette free. It’s a great alternative, and it still gives you the action of smoking. You inhale and blow out, unlike an awkward nicotine patch or chewing gum.” – Beverly

E-Cigarettes, an Innovation that is Changing Lives

     Since e-cigs first came on the market, they held a promise to change peoples lives in a profound way. For the first time there was an alternative to smoking cigarettes that satisfied the cravings and need to have the act of "smoking" replicated. Some one can have their nicotine craving matched without all the other 3,000+ carcinogens that traditional cigarettes contain.

     E-cigs have been all the rage over the past few years and are finally reaching national popularity. There are many different styles of e-cigs and it is suggested that each individual does their research to find the best possible option for them. To be successful in the switch to e-cigs from regular cigarettes it is vital that each person finds the unit and e-juice flavors that best match their needs.

     With any new technology there is a lot of products out there and it can be confusing to the novice e-cig user.  E-cigs start at about the size of a regular cigarette and grow to large hand held mods. The vast differences in sizes determines the over-all output of vapor and many people find it necessary to move up in size as time goes by. A larger e-cig is going to have a much longer lasting battery and can most likely last all day or a great portion of the day. e-Go C Twist batteries and Vision spinner batteries are a few that have a variable voltage function that allows you to turn the temperature up in order to receive a greater vapor production.

     This is important for people who smoke at least a half a pack of cigarettes or more a day. The variable voltage ensures that you will enjoy the satisfaction of a larger draw that successfully mimics that of a cigarette. There are many things to take into consideration when purchasing an e-cig and its important that you find the right person to walk you through each step in the process.
