Quit Smoking…e-Cigarettes Take A Hit
An announcement today in Australia places electronic cigarettes in the same class as tobacco cigarettes as far as the ability to use them in public places is concerned.
This comes as no real surprise, given that electronic cigarettes are just analogues for the real thing, even if many smokers don’t agree. The public perception however see’s little difference, except perhaps that they don’t produce an offensive smell and the buts and packets aren’t discarded on the ground.
e-cigs come in two types. Those sold over the counter in Australia which contain flavoured chemicals, such as apple, which are absorbed into your blood stream when you inhale.
The second type is imported, often from China and contain nicotine. There is a belief in the smoking world, that electronic cigarettes or vaping as it is referred to is much safer than smoking.
However there is mounting evidence that his so called safer habit is just as harmful as smoking tobacco.
Researchers believe this to be the case however we need a few decades of data to see the long term effects, such as cancer etc to surface.
What we do know for sure right now is that inhaling these chemicals is at least as harmful as breathing in heavily polluted air.
The interesting thing about smoking electronic cigarettes with flavoured chemicals is that many smokers are quite satisfied with them in place of tobacco. This throws the nicotine addiction question right out of the window.
My question to you as a smoker is that if you can manage without nicotine then why not let go of the habit all together instead of continuing to risk your health with the effects of unknown chemicals being drawn into your lungs and therefore your blood stream.
In my experience as a quit smoking specialist is that all of the clients who have come for treatment who smoked e-cigs in the past, found there way back to tobacco, mostly because the two habits where so closely connected.
It may sound harsh but smoking electronic cigarettes is just a form of denial, self-delusion or just burying your head in the sand. I encourage you to do some research of your own, on proper research sites not on forums which support vaping, as they simply like to confirm their own biases.
My interest however is simply to help you to lead a healthier life. I have no vested interested in smokes or the electronic versions
