are e cigarette safe

Harm reduction was the primary goal of Chinese pharmacist/inventor, Hon Lik, who developed the e-cigarette after his father died of lung cancer. Like devised a battery operated device that resembles a cigarette. It allows a user to inhale nicotine-infused vapor instead of harmful smoke from burning tobacco. E-cigarette users call it vaping. Sales have exploded since they were introduced, but distributors have had to struggle to retain the right to market their product.



The Food and Drug Administration has warned vapers against using e-cigarettes because they haven’t been properly tested; but Michael Siegel, a researcher at the Boston University School of Public Health came to a different conclusion: “The FDA and major anti-smoking groups keep saying that we don’t know anything about what is in electronic cigarettes. …The truth is, we know a lot more about what is in electronic cigarettes than regular cigarettes.” 




A traditional cigarette burns on tobacco that releases around 4000 harmful elements and among those 60 are identified as major cancer causing agents and many are suspected for the same. Since electronic cigarette does not burn on tobacco which is responsible for such health hazards and hence its harmless. According to a recent study of Boston University, smoking an ecig (Electronic Cigarette) can not only be harmless but can also help a smoker to quit smoking permanently.



Proponents of electronic cigarettes often claim that electronic cigarettes deliver the experience of smoking and greatly minimize the smells and health risks associated with tobacco smoke.The base liquids including propylene glycol(PG), vegetable glycerin(VG), and polyethylene glycol 400(PEG400) have been widely used as food additive, as a base solution for personal care products such as toothpaste, and in medical devices such as asthma inhalers. However, the health effects of inhaling nicotine vapor into lungs have been a subject of uncertainty and no standard GMP procedures have been applied to the production of e-juice.



So,after recent study of Boston University we can easily say that e cigarettes are safe,harmless and can also be viewed as a way to quit a tobacco smoke!!!
