Vaping IS better than smoking - and 'one of the best ways in 50 years of improving the world's health'

in #health7 years ago

Hello i just started this blog and this story is for all smokers out there.

Tobacco still kills six million people around the world every year.

Despite huge public health efforts to help people quit and prevent young people starting, smoking remains the single greatest cause of ill health and premature death.

And even with restrictions on tobacco advertising and smoking in public places, many young people continue to take up smoking.

The situation is even worse in poorer countries, where support to stop smoking is limited, and tobacco control policies weaker.

So in light of this, how should we view the increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes?

(The vastly reduced number of chemicals present in e-cigarette vapour compared to tobacco smoke means we can be confident that vaping will be much less harmful than smoking)

The gadgets deliver a nicotine hit by heating a nicotine-containing propylene glycol (e-liquid) to create an aerosol (usually called 'vapour'), which is inhaled.

Put simply, they deliver nicotine almost as effectively as a conventional cigarette, but without the vast majority of other chemicals present in tobacco smoke (either from the tobacco itself, or as a result of the burning process).

Sort:  

A couple of my mates in London use the e-cigarettes. They said to me after the first 4 weeks since stopped smoking tobacco all the rubbish just flew out from them as they coughed the last of the tobacco out of their systems. I have gone cold turkey from smoking since last Friday. Eight days in, sometimes I get that back of the burning throat thing tingling away now and again. Once I get to 6 weeks without a smoke I think I can kick that filthy worthless habit. How can a person really love themselves when all they do is poison themselves with alcohol, drugs and tobacco. Have a fantastic weekend too!
