Smokestiks - A way of quit smoking?

SmokeStik, a very much talked about brand of e-cigarette, is deemed by HELLO magazine as the A-list way to quit smoking. It must be true. Since stars such as Katherine Heigl, Paris Hilton, Leonardo Dicaprio, Rhys Ifans and Sarah Harding have all been spotted sucking on its addictive water vapours, the product has been hailed THE only way of giving up the habit.

Smokstiks offer a nicotine hit minus all of the tar, tobacco and carcinogens found in regular cigarettes. One can indulge in bars, clubs, restaurants and even aeroplanes so more nail biting overnight journeys across the international waters.

Finally we have created a product that can help us quit smoking and in style, is this what we have become? A nation of celebrity wannabes and fashionable self-medicating sheep? For those of us who do not want to be caught using our tongues to flick through the latest pages of Vogue or roll them out to carpet the coat tails of Ms. Heigl, here are some facts.

The World Health organization (WHO) in its technical report regarding Electronic Nicotine delivery Systems (ENDS) stated that the safety of the amount of nicotine in the product has not been established. The lungs may experience a greater level of toxicity as we are unsure of the amount of nicotine contained in these tubes. The SmokeStiks may therefore have a greater effect on physiological and addictive responses. ENDS have been described as a device that may in fact perpetuate smoking, rather than aid cessation.

Nicotene is listed as a Group C Poison within the Poisons Act 1952 (Act 366). All products containing poisons must be registered with the MOH Drug Control Authority before they can be sold. Smokestik still does not have the satisfaction of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and until they do, I would not take the advice of an untrained celebrity before I let the experts give the green light on the oh so sexy e-cigs.

Until then the safest option is to quit cold turkey or stick to the popular prescription aids such as Champix which maintains a 60 % success rate among its users.
