Electronic Cigarettes - Popular For The Wrong Reason? Article Written By: Violet's Vapes Ever since their entering the market, electronic cigarettes have not only enjoyed massive popularity but also a considerable amount of critics. One of the experts’ concerns is that people have this misconception that electronic cigarettes are healthier alternatives to tobacco cigarettes which is not exactly true. Specialists in health and care state there is no evidence that e-cigarettes are entirely safe to use. People usually assume that the device contains little to no nicotine but overlook often times the other constituents. There are products on the market that have been tested for their effectiveness and play an active part in Nicotine replacement therapies, namely the nicotine patch and nicotine gum. Unlike them, e-cigarettes have no studies conducted on their potential role in this type of therapy. The compounds found in electronic cigarettes are similar in toxicity to other nicotine based products. Even so, due to their physical components and the way they interact with each other, people have fewer reasons to consider them harmless.
The use of e-cigarettes - a risk to our health Electronic cigarette companies sell their products in retail stores as well as online. Before buying such products from an ecig store online, take into account the following: the majority of electronic cigarettes use lithium batteries that are linked to the occurrence of accidents due to their relatively low quality standards. Various people have suffered major injuries because the batteries exploded and the device caught fire. E-cigarette explosions are not rare. Many of
them resulted in facial injuries, lost teeth, eye problems and skin burns as the battery acid made contact with it. Later generation devices seem to use better quality batteries as the new cigarette models contain liquids richer in nicotine than the first generation e-cigarettes. Stronger batteries are needed as to heat the solution. Ever since the Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik first invented the ecigarette in 2003, the device has enjoyed increasing popularity. Today, the majority of ecigarettes are produced by Chinese manufacturers. There were about 2.5 million users in the United Kingdom only as of 2015, with the main consumers being young people and adults who try to quit smoking.
