We all know that smoking tobacco is bad for our health. There are more than 40 million Americans who are smoking tobacco. It is well known that it attacks every organ of your body and smoking is among those things that kill a person every five deaths. Reports say that more than 70% of people want to quit smoking. The government tried to raise the prices for cigarettes, but that didn’t stop Americans from smoking. Many people soon tried the electronic cigarettes in their journey to quit smoking.
China was the one who firstly introduced us to E-Cig Brands, and they appeared on the American market in 2007. What you need to know is that they’re a tobacco-free invention – they’re actually vaporizers, so they’re heating up a liquid, not burning tobacco. That liquid is transforming into a vapor which you inhale.
We’ve prepared some facts that you may want to take into consideration before choosing your e-cig.
Nothing Actually Burns
Don’t worry about burning
If you’re a smoker, then you know the feeling when you’re misplacing the lighter or you lose the matches. However, if you get an e-cig, you don’t have anything to light, as they run on a lithium battery.
When you puff (as you’d do with a normal cigarette), the battery will power the device in order to head that liquid and to vaporize it. Some of them have a red LED light. And because you don’t burn anything, there cannot possibly be smoke, only a vapor.
They have liquid nicotine
As said earlier, they don’t have any smoke or any tobacco, however, what they do have is nicotine. That liquid you’re vaping included nicotine, some kind of flavor, different additives and propylene glycol, which is a solvent.
It really depends when it comes to the amount of the nicotine on the kind of cartridge is installed in the gadget. Some of them have so much nicotine that is like you’re smoking a cigarette, while others just have enough to get an ultralight cigarette.
Some of them include some cartridges that come together with some flavored liquid that is nicotine-free and it’s meant for those users who want the feeling that they’re smoking a cigarette, except they’re not harming themselves.
They are toxic
It’s a very well known thing that the cigarette smoke has about 7000 chemicals, and 69 of those are carcinogens. E-cigs have their problems, too, with liquid nicotine. It comes from tobacco and it can be lethal. If it’s inhaled, it may cause harm, just as it does when it’s absorbed through the skin or ingested. It only takes one small dose (which is less than one tablespoon) to kill an adult.
There are some studies that show that not only nicotine is the problem. Apparently, some gadgets release metals while they’re used, such as tin.
