E Cigarettes Continue To Gain Support

From the time people became aware of the electronic cigarette, or e cigarette, there were two responses. One response was mostly negative and had people concerned about the safety of the device and what effects it could have on long-term usage. The other side, however, was praising and heralding the e cigarette as a device that could potentially save the lives of millions of smokers.
A laboratory study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration revealed that the liquid solution used in the e cigarette contained various levels of nitrosamines and a chemical called diethylene glycol. Instantly, an uproar was heard from the opposition and the naysayers. The skepticism they carried about the e cigarette from the get-go was finally confirmed because it showed that the e cigarette was not safe.
But there is a point that was missed. The e cigarette, from the beginning, was marketed as a smoking alternative. It was marketed as a safer and healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes. It was never marketed as a cessation device nor was it ever designed to suck in non-smokers and children into sucking on the device, as some of the opposition claim.
Despite the negative opinions and disposition of some consumers, some organizations, some health professionals, and the FDA, most of the public still support the e cigarette fully. Most are aware that the diethylene glycol found in the liquid solution was only found in 1 of the 18 samples that were tested. They also know that it is as the suppliers and vendors said it was from the beginning: a safer and healthier alternative.
Smokers might enjoy their habit, but they certainly don’t enjoy knowing that they are inhaling on over 4,000 chemicals every time they light up. Everyone is fully aware of the consequences of smoking tobacco products, and that’s why over 35 million Americans attempt to quit every year but fail because they are so addicted to the nicotine. When you compare the e cigarette’s two chemicals to the tobacco cigarettes 4,800+ chemicals, it’s easy to see why people choose the former. Plus, the chemicals found in the liquid solution are also found in a real cigarette and at higher concentrations. The public think that it is quite hypocritical.
With the e cigarette, it gives smokers the chance to enjoy their habit but without all of the negative side effects. While the liquid solution may contain various levels of nicotine and minuscule traces of a couple of chemicals, it is still undoubtedly the best alternative to smoking. Nowhere in the market can you find a product that combats both the physical and psychological addiction that smokers have to cigarettes.
That is why many consumers, both smokers and non-smokers, continue to support the e cigarette. Despite the negative publicity and warnings about its safety, many people still see it as the product that could very well revolutionize the industry, save millions of lives every year, and cut down on medical expenses.
