A report published in the October Inhalation Toxicology Journal shows that exposure to vapour from E-cigarettes poses no risk to adults or children. The experts at e-cigarettesuk.co.uk hope the study will encourage more smokers to give up tobacco based cigarettes. London, UK (PRWEB) November 06, 2012 While the number of people using e-cigarettes has increased significantly in the last few years there are concerns over how safe they are for the people using them and those around them. The manufacture of e-cigarettes is still largely unregulated and few scientific studies have been conducted into the impact their use has on air quality. One of the first studies to look into the effects of e-cigarette use was published in the October issue of the Inhalation Toxicology Journal. It found that e-cigarette vapour posed no significant risk of harm to human health. The study was conducted by CHANGE at the Clarkson University in New York. It compared the vapour produced by 4 different high-nicotine e-liquids with the smoke produced by conventional tobacco cigarettes. Some of the pollutants that were tested for included VOCs, nicotine, carbonyls, and TSNAs. As expected the smoke from tobacco cigarettes was found to pose a significant risk to human health. What may be more surprising for some was that the vapour produced by vaporising the e-liquid for both non-cancer and cancer risk analysis showed no risk to health for adults or children. There has been a growing controversy over the use of e-cigarettes with their use being banned in many countries where there is a smoking ban in place. This study should go some way to easy people’s fears about the use of electronic cigarettes. The rapidly rising cost of tobacco based cigarettes is another reason why many smokers in the UK are turning to e-cigs. With the price of 20 cigarettes close to £8, a 20 a day smoker is spending nearly £3,000 every year on their nicotine habit. The cost of vaping is around £1 per day and can be even cheaper with DIY E-liquid kits. There are hundreds of different flavours for e-cigs ranging from regular tobacco and menthol to bubble-gum, rum and even tiramisu flavours. They are legal to smoke indoors and produce none of the smells or smoke of regular cigarettes. The experts at e-cigarettesuk.co.uk say that vaping will only become more popular as more people in the UK come to realise the health and financial benefits of e-cigs. Whether they are used as a means of giving up tobacco or for the pleasure of vaping e-cigarettes are definitely here to stay.

More information about electronic cigarettes is available from the website. 30/10/2012 source: forbes.com According to Dr. Klaus Lessnau, a pulmonary and critical care specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, “tobacco cigarettes are the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the US”. He went on to state that although “electronic cigarettes cannot be recommended to improve lung health, there is certainly some degree of harm reduction compared to regular cigarette use.” Dr. Lessnau explained that there are no major studies to date, but he believed that the impact on lung cancer will be substantial. He explained that “regular tobacco products produce more than 1,000 toxic substances, many of them tar related–whereas, electronic cigarettes do not”. He believes that cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction (heart attack) and stroke may not see any major impact, since there is a connection with nicotine. Although there are no major studies to date, Dr. Lessnau said that “it is very conceivable that lung cancer will be decreased”.

After smoking full-time for 50 years, I have previously tried Champix, sprays, gum and patches to give up smoking but nothing seemed to work, then I discovered Suncig (vaporizer) E-cigarettes and quit smoking the first week that I had it. I no longer hear myself wheezing when I go to bed; I don't wake up in the middle of the night coughing and no more smoker's cough in the morning, I don't smell like an ashtray and neither do my clothes or home. To be honest the main thing is the feeling of the vapour going down into of your throat and seeing the smoke, that's something that can't be replicated with patches, sprays or gum. And the money I save each week allows me to do so many things that I just couldn’t afford before. I also think the DELUXE pack is the best value. Thom (Gold Coast, Australia)
