Electronic cigarettes or ecig: What are they and are they safe?

Electronic cigarettes, or ecigare an electrical device that produce water vapor when inhaled and they simulate the act of smoking traditional cigarettes without the odor, and the 4000+ chemicals found in traditional tobacco cigarettes. The ecig device uses heat to vaporize a ‘liquid based solution’ known as the eliquid into mist. Most electronic cigarettes are portable, self-contained cylindrical devices and though they vary in size which is manly due to the size of their batteries. Some electronic cigarettes are designed to resemble actual cigarettes and other ecig devices are designed for aesthetics and building a larger battery for prolonged usage. Most ecigs are also reusable, with replaceable and refillable parts, but some models are disposable.

Health Benifits Of Electronic Cigarettes / ecig?

Electronic cigarettes do not contain tar, produce bad smells or contain any of the 4,800 chemicals you could find in an average lit cigarette. You can also smoke them in bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants, as the cartridges do not contain tobacco and the ecig only produces a vapour, not smoke, making them compliant with the no smoking ban.

As of April 2010, The American Association of Public Health Physicians (AAPHP) supports electronic cigarettes sales to adults, “because the possibility exists to save the lives of four million of the eight million current adult American smokers who will otherwise die of a tobacco-related illness over the next twenty years.” The World Health Organization stated in September 2008 that, “they do not discount the possibility that the electronic cigarettes could be useful as a smoking cessation aid.”However, they also went on to state that no rigorous, peer-reviewed studies have been conducted.

In 2008, Dr. Murray Laugesen, of Health New Zealand, published a report on the safety of Ruyan electronic cigarette cartridges funded by e-cigarette manufacturer, Ruyan; Laugesen and the WHO claim that the research is independent.The results also indicated that the level of nicotine in the electronic cigarette cartridges was not different from the concentration of nicotine found in nicotine patches. John Britton, a lung specialist at the University of Nottingham, UK and chair of the Royal College of Physicians Tobacco Advisory Group said “if the levels are as low as in nicotine replacement therapy, I don’t think there will be much of a problem.” The study concluded: “Based on the manufacturer’s information, the composition of the cartridge liquid is not hazardous to health, if used as intended.”

According to Cancer Research UK, “For a smoker, the health hazards of continuing to smoke greatly outweigh any potential risks of using nicotine replacement therapy”.

A report from a UK Government advisory unit favoured to adopt “smokeless nicotine cigarettes” instead of the traditional “quit or die” approach believing this would save more lives
