The buzz on the electronic cigarettes, lies and truth.

Electronic cigarettes have been picking up lately, more and more people including celebrities are using them more than actual cigarettes. 

But what is the real truth about them?

Are they really unsafe like some of the medical studies say?

Think about the cigarette you are smoking right now, you are currently smoking 4000 chemicals and 69 are cancer causing chemical compounds. (According to tricountycessastion.org) 

Electronic cigarettes all depending what kind of e-liquid you buy or cartridges you purchase have only a few. I personally have purchased an electronic cigarette to quit smoking, the chemicals in the e-liquid I use have propylene glycol, vegetable glycol, and nicotine. 

The glycol in the e-liquid produces the vapor smoke you exhale. Yes they are chemicals, and yes there are still health risks but I can safely say that it is way healthier than smoking cigarettes.

What I will warn people about though is when you are purchasing e-liquid, KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR PRODUCT! Keep a lookout for ethylene glycol which is something that they put in antifreeze. 

But anyone saying that they are worse than cigarettes is sitting in the back pocket of tobacco companies. When you think about it and all the money tobacco companies make, well when it comes to greedy people almost anything has a price. 

There have been a lot of people quitting cigarettes and smoking only e-cigs, I fully believe that the tobacco companies are worried about seeing a massive decline in their accounts. Now not only are they bashing the electronic cigarette idea but they now are trying to start making their own electronic cigarettes.

I am sure this whole world benefits from us smoking and ruining our bodies. 

In Washington state where a pack is on average eight dollars a pack, and you smoke a pack a day. That would equal to $56 a week, $224 a month, $2,688 a year. Now add on .08% interest for taxes $2,903.08. Now that is hopefully if it is only a pack a day, without giving any away dropping any, breaking any etc. 

Now take your cost times that by just one million which isn't even all the smokers in America. That equals out to $2,903,080,000. Pretty large number what can tobacco companies buy with two billion dollars? Hmm...a lot of backup that is what. 

Then think of all your medical bills and how much of your illnesses are tobacco related. Don't lie to yourself because your making yourself sick, I know because I smoked almost ten years. Now that I have switched to e-cigs I breathe easier, I can smell things again, I actually smell like my expensive amazing laundry soap, and on top of it I can exercise again and I haven't been hacking, gagging, and getting headaches. 

If you do decide to make the switch, remember that even if you don't feel like you are having a "nic fit" you ARE withdrawing from cigarette chemicals, don't mistake it for the electronic cigarette. You will be tired, nauseous, and have headaches when you first quit tobacco. If the nicotine in your e-liquid is too strong, buy 0mg and mix it and it will be a lot easier, because that first drag is harsh.

I hope this blog post can give people some idea of why it is better to switch and that some of your questions may be answered, or thoughts validated. 

Quit supporting the tobacco companies now, and for good!
