subject: A Non-smokers View On Electronic Cigarettes [print this page] You may have seen one of my many articles and blog posts on the subject of electronic cigarettes. If so, you know that I am not a smoker yet I LOVE electronic cigarettes.
The biggest reason I like them? Because my friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors can smoke around me, and get as much nicotine as their little hearts desire, yet I dont have ANY second hand smoke to deal with. I dont have to deal with smoke odor of any kind, my eyes dont sting from being in or near a cloud of burning tar and chemicals all day, and no one (including the smoker) is dying any faster because of their habit.
Ive been researching it, and so far everything seems to tell the same story nicotine by itself has not been proven to have any long-term negative effects on the body. Its the burning tar, acetone, arsenic, and other unbelievable ingredients in a tobacco cigarette that do all the killing.
Since electronic cigarettes deliver nicotine through a steam like vapor, without any burning smoke being ingested, it can be surmised that electronic cigarettes truly are the future of smoking. We all dream of a vaccine for this disease, or that condition. Well guess what, electronic cigarettes just became the vaccine for smokers. Now they get what their body wants or needs (nicotine is still addictive after all), but they can begin to let their body heal. Ive learned that a smokers blackened lung begins to heal itself the instant someone stops smoking. It may take a while but isnt that great news for every smoker?
Now, I also happen to enjoy certain social scenes. One of them is to hang out at the bar with my buddies watching football, drinking beer, andoops, this is where we get pulled apart. As they head out to the outdoor smoking area, I am left to hold the table and watch everybodys stuff.
As everyone comes pouring back into the bar laughing at the latest joke my pal Jake told, Im left there bummed that, once again, I missed out. Not any more. Each of my friends dove on the electronic cigarette as soon as I showed them, Now, we dont even leave the table or the bar. We sit right there, watching the game, drinking a beer, and yessmoking; right there in the bar. One of the many electronic cigarette benefits; since its not smoke, and doesnt pose the second-hand smoke health risks like regular cigarettes, you can go ahead and smoke em if you got em, wherever you want!
I even bought an electronic cigarette myself. Again, the social thing. Hey, what can I say I like to be part of the party. But heres the cool thing my electronic cigarette is exactly the same and smokes in the exact same way, but I got myself the no-nicotine (0mg) cartridge. So, Im not picking up a new addiction, but I do get to join in the party like all my buddies.
I love the new electronic cigarette, and I think you will too.
