Stop Smoking and Start Vaping: E- Cigarettes 101

If you are new to e-cigarettes and vaping, we are here to help you out. This article is for those who want to quit smoking and venture into something healthier.

So what are e-cigarettes? Basically, they look like the traditional cigarettes and that they also light up when one inhales from it. However, vaping does not involve burning as it only heats the e-liquid or the e-juice so it is much safer, according to M. Brad Drummond, MD., an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

You can easily purchase e-cigarettes online. If you live in US there are tons of stores that offers vaporizers at a great price. There's v2, migvapor, halo, slickvapes, vaporbeast and much more.

E-cigarettes use batteries to make it function. Sometimes, it comes with a charger so you could use the battery over and over again while others are disposable. It contains a cartridge that holds the nicotine and the flavored e-liquid.

Are E-cigarettes safe? As of now, e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes but doctors are saying that this is as dangerous as the real thing for people who suffer from heart problems. The dangerous chemicals used by e-cigarettes are only 25% as compared to the real cigarettes.

When you stop using e-cigarettes, you will also get the same symptoms that you can when you try and withdraw from traditional cigarettes. Basically, you will feel irritable, depressed, anxious and restless.

Drummond said in a statement, "E-cigarettes may be less harmful than cigarettes. But we still don't know enough about their long-term risks or the effects of secondhand exposure."

There are also different pros and cons regarding the usage of e-cigarettes.

Pros:

E-cigarettes have fewer carcinogens as traditional cigarettes contain over 7.00 harmful chemicals.

E-cigarettes are proven to potentially help smokers to reduce or eventually kick the habit.

E-cigarette smokers no longer suffer from the bad odor they get from smoking.

For those trying to quit smoking, here’s a healthy and helpful article for you

Tobacco smoking is one of the main causes of deaths all over the world and there have been numerous studies proving that this statement is true.

Smoking is the act of burning tobacco and inhaling and tasting the resulting smoke that is absorbed by the bloodstream. Smoking was traditionally a practice that substituted recreational drug use.

Cigarettes can either be industrially manufactured or hand-rolled with the use of loose tobacco leaves and rolling paper. Other accessories related to smoking are pipes, cigars, hookahs, and bongs.

As I have said earlier, smoking-related diseases have been shown to kill approximately half of long term smokers when compared to average mortality rates faced by non-smokers. It was reported that back in 2007, about 4.9 million people worldwide die as a result of smoking.

In line with this, a new research suggested that e-cigarettes are a great alternative for smokers. The research said that those who want to stop smoking and finally kick the habit should start using vaporizer or dr dabber boost.

The research added that there should be refillable tanks used by vapers because a higher dosage of nicotine would be better. These e-cigarettes were found out to be 95% less harmful than smoking.

The study was led by Professor Ann McNeill of King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, 

Psychology and Neuroscience and said that smokers who are struggling to stop are at a disadvantage because they limit their nicotine intake. She added, “If you are using an e-cigarette, use it more frequently and stop smoking cigarettes as fast as you can. If cigalikes don’t work, try something else.”

The research was reportedly based on 1,500 sample population last December 2012 and it was found out that 65% of the population who used vaporizers or vape pens on a daily basis were able to quit much faster than the remaining percentage who did not use e-cigarettes.

Another author of the study, Dr. Leonie Brose, said in a statement: “This study did not test how helpful they are as quitting aids because we looked at smokers who were using them for any reason, including just to cut down on their smoking or in situations when they cannot smoke.”

Brose added to dwell on the positivity brought about by e-cigarettes saying, “But it is encouraging to see that even then, regular e-cigarette use was linked to reduced numbers of lethal cigarettes smoked and increased attempts to quit smoking in the following year.”
