That's It, I've Gave Up....

One of the main worries about electronic cigarettes is whether they are safe to use and whether electronic cigarettes can really be regarded as healthy. The question therefore must start with the E-Liquid itself and the ingredients in them. So, what is in an e-cig?

The great thing about the electronic cigarettes and e-liquids stocked at Vaporized is the LACK of ingredients. Compared with the tobacco cigarettes that have tar, ammonia, carbon dioxide, not to mention the other thousands of ingredients found in tobacco, the e-liquid has only a few main components that Vaporized are happy to explain:

• Propylene Glycol – an organic compound used to help produce the vapor in e-cigs. This chemical is found in a plethora of things common consumed by humans most notably used in food and drinks to carry flavours, used in vaccines, asthma inhalers and cough relief syrups and in many cosmetic products. When ingested, the chemical is metabolized into pyruvic acid, a compound directed derived from glucose. Put simply, since this chemical is not only a natural, necessary compound for the human body plus being used in foodstuffs, we can conclude that propylene glycol is a safe substance.

• Vegetable Glycerin – again this is an organic, natural compound extracted from plants in the form of oil. Broadly speaking, glycerin is used as a sweetener. Rather than using sugar which elevates blood sugar levels and contributes to bacterial tooth decay. If fact vegetable glycerin is used in the treatment of gum disease as well as many other treatments for bacterial infection. Again, an amazingly safe ingredient.

• Nicotine – this is probably the most referred to ‘unhealthy’ component that makes up the E- Liquid. But to what extent and at which point does this apply? Nicotine is a stimulant. However at high doses it can be lethal and as many of the opponents of electric cigarettes reiterate in their arguments. It is true to say that doses of 50mg and higher can cause health problems and slightly smaller amounts may cause a little dizziness and nausea and on some occasions lowered blood pressure but what they fail to state is that these things happen at dosages that are extremely high. For example, one cigarette contains approximately 3mg! That’s 1.5% of the amount that causes any sort of unhealthy effect. At these low amounts, you experience a feeling of well-being and alertness created by an increase in the flow of dopamine which is a neurotransmitter.

In addition, switching from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes reduces your nicotine intake further. Concluding that in the dosages of nicotine present in Vaporized’s E- liquids should not cause any harmful effects if used within the guidelines and recommended amounts.

I therefore conclude that the active, main ingredients present in most E-liquids are on extreme contrast to the tobacco cigarettes that you are trying to replace. As aforementioned, the LACK of ingredients is a positive comparative and when enjoyed in moderation, can offer a healthier alternative to tobacco smoking.

Sounds strange and I know I've only started on this thing 5 hours ago lol but I honestly feel better already

Likely healthier, the body starts repairing the damage of cigarettes very quickly, you might get a cough as your lungs start to produce cells that have cilia, no not Cilia Black, these will begin removing all those years of crap, moving it upwards an out. Smokers tend to have just flat cells without cilia lining their longs so the crap tends to sit until its bad enough to cause the good old smokers cough. I'm unsure what effect the nicotine will have but one would expect less than a real fag.

 

For the smokers theres a sentence near the end in bold.

"Damage to the respiratory system from cigarette smoking is slow, progressive, and deadly. A healthy respiratory system is continuously cleansed. The mucus produced by the respiratory tubules traps dirt and disease-causing organisms, which cilia sweep toward the mouth, where it can be eliminated. Smoking greatly impairs this housekeeping. With the very first inhalation of smoke, the beating of the cilia slows. With time, the cilia become paralyzed and, eventually, disappear altogether. The loss of cilia leads to the development of smoker's cough. The cilia no longer effectively remove mucus, so the individual must cough it up. Coughing is usually worse in the morning because mucus has accumulated during sleep.

To make matters worse, excess mucus is produced and accumulates, clogging the air passageways. Pathogenic organisms that are normally removed now have easier access to the respiratory surfaces and the resulting lung congestion favors their growth. This is why smokers are sick more often than nonsmokers. In addition, a lethal chain reaction begins. Smokerís cough leads to chronic bronchitis, caused by destroyed respiratory cilia. Mucus production increases and the lining of the bronchioles thickens, making breathing difficult. The bronchioles lose elasticity and are no longer able to absorb the pressure within the alveoli (microscopic air sacs) enough to rupture the delicate alveolar walls; this condition is the hallmark of smoking-induced emphysema. The burst alveoli cause worsening of the cough, fatigue, wheezing, and impaired breathing. Emphysema is fifteen times more common among individuals who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day than among nonsmokers.

Simultaneous with the structural changes progressing to emphysema may be cellular changes leading to lung cancer. First, cells in the outer border of the bronchial lining begin to divide more rapidly than usual. Eventually, these displace the ciliated cells. Their nuclei begin to resemble those of cancerous cells--large and distorted with abnormal numbers of chromosomes. Up to this point, the damage can be repaired if smoking ceases. However, if smoking continues, these cells may eventually break through the basement membrane and begin dividing within the lung tissue, forming a tumor with the potential of spreading throughout lung tissue. Eighty percent of lung cancer cases are due to cigarette smoking. Only 13% of lung cancer patients live as long as 5 years after the initial diagnosis."
