The Pros And Cons Of Using Electronic Cigarettes

One of the newer additions to products that smokers can use to quit the habit is the e-cigarette. This innovative tool is also named as a smokeless cigarette. This product gives the same physical sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette by generating odorless and colorless vapor which does not contain the toxic chemicals and byproducts present in the latter. In this regard, it is perceived by many as a healthier alternative to smoking actual cigarettes.The appearance and tactile sensation of e-cigarettes is also similar to traditional cigarettes and thus fulfill the physical component of the habit.

It is also not uncommon to find them integrated into other designs like pens so their users can smoke without being conspicuous. Smokeless cigarettes are battery operated and use a heating element to transform the liquid solution containing varying amounts of nicotine into vapor, in the same manner that a nebulizer produces mist. They can be bought from web-based vendors and from local distributors with physical storefronts and they usually sell for about fifty to a hundred dollars apiece.

The WHO does not totally dismiss the potential of such products being helpful to smokers as they transition to life without tobacco. Still, they cannot recommend the product because there are no thorough and peer-reviewed studies done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these electronic cigarettes. One criticism about e-cigarettes is that manufacturing standards are not the same for all countries, and in a lab study performed by the US Food and Drug Administration it was found out that diethylene glycol is present in some of the samples. The said substance is an ingredient of antifreeze formulation for cars and HVAC systems and is poisonous and can cause cancer in humans.

Also, authorities and medical professionals are worried that because of the affordability and availability of such products, non-smoking cohorts, like children, may be encouraged to try them putting them at risk of nicotine dependence and health issues related to such. Also, a lab analysis revealed that a number of these Smokeless cigarette sold as non-nicotine variants actually have high levels of the said substance.

Using a smokeless cigarette still carries the likelihood of you getting poisoned or dependent to nicotine. High levels of nicotine in the system can cause your heart to pump faster, raise your blood pressure, and block the release of the hormone insulin, and thus may contribute to hyperglycemia. Over time, nicotine may also increase the level of bad cholesterol in your system.
