Electronic Cigarette – The Health Factor

In a world gone health crazy during recent years, it probably somewhat unsurprising that there has been a lot of attention focussed on the health issues surrounding the popular (and becoming more so all the time) electronic cigarette. Perhaps there is something yet to be revealed about their safety, but surely the very fact that they don’t have any tobacco in them makes then safer (at the very least) than regular cigarettes, doesn’t it? Or am I missing something?
It is obvious that the only 100 per cent sure fire way to be a safe smoker is not to smoke at all, but quitting something altogether in one go, is really very tough. Just ask anyone who has tried to quit any addiction, including chocoholics! The craving for just one more square of chocolate can be tantalising.
So, while we should praise and encourage all those brave enough to try quitting completely and instantly, we must also acknowledge that many others are going to try a different route. Cutting down gradually, weaning themselves off their addiction slowly (and some experts would say safely) and even trying alternative methods or products. For smokers, enter the electronic cigarette.
What is the big selling factor for the distributors and manufacturers of the e cigarette (as it’s often known)? Well, an e cig contains no tobacco at all! That’s right, not a jot of tobacco in these babies! It perhaps makes you wonder then what, if anything is the appeal to smokers?
Apparently it’s the nicotine. The nicotine is really what smokers (or most of them) are addicted to and an electronic cigarette is kitted out with a removable cartridge system that contains various amounts of nicotine. So, a smoker could start off trying a nicotine cartridge that is similar to the strength he or she is smoking in their regular cigarettes, but to reiterate, NO Tobacco! Eventually if the smokers’ aim is to quit smoking altogether, they can reduce the strength of the nicotine contained in the renewable cartridge.
Many distributors offer at least four strength levels in their electronic cigarette cartridges, mainly being, normal, medium, low and the perhaps the Holy Grail for many, zero nicotine! A brief look at the ingredients of one of these cartridges indeed confirms that absence of any tobacco, with “water, propylene glycol, nicotine (unless you have the nicotine free version), tobacco flavouring and added membrane to suspend ingredients”.
Whilst nobody is going to claim these things are good for you, the theory at least, is that if you are a smoker, this might be a real opportunity to avoid all those harmful toxins found in tobacco and begin the long hard road of quitting smoking forever!
