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.”
