The Search for a Healthier Option to Smoking

Lung cancer kills millions of people each and every year around the globe. There are 3 leading causes of lung cancer; smoking being the leading cause, followed by radon and then second hand smoke being the third. In U.S. alone, there are at least 160,000 reported cases of deaths from lung cancer caused by cigarette smoking. The amount of deaths from lung cancer caused by cigarette smoking is staggering and it must be minimized if it’s not possible to stop. Since smoking became the leading cause of lung cancer, people started the 20th century by trying to find ways to have a healthier option to smoke. Smokers can’t just quit smoking and so the search for a healthier option for smoking started.

Perhaps even before the year 2000, many people have thought of improving our traditional tobacco smoking. Perhaps they just don’t know how to improve it until in 2004, Ruyan Group Holdings Limited; a company based in Hongkong invented the so called E-cigarette (also known as E-cigs or E-cigars). The company claims that E-cigarette is a healthier option to smoke compared to the traditional tobacco smoking. They say that smoking E-cigs do not give off smokes from tobacco and do not have tobacco at all and so are the harmful substances in it. This has been a very controversial issue because people thought there is no way this could be possible. The company also claims that this can be used to help you quit smoking because the nicotine addict ion could be removed.

E-cigarette is an electrical device which is operated by battery that perfectly imitates the process smoking of tobacco. E-cigars produce an inhaled mist with the same appearance, the same physical sensation and often even the same flavor as tobacco smoking. This makes E-cigars act like the traditional tobacco cigars except that, E-cigars use heat or in most cases it uses ultrasonic to vaporize glycerin-based solution or propylene glycol (very much similar with the way a nebulizer vaporizes a solution for inhalation). E-cigs give you the same hit given by nicotine because it releases a mixture of nicotine and a tobacco scent. The big difference is that E-cigs do not have other harmful substances that are found in tobacco smoking and other forms of smoking. 

Since E-cigarettes do not have harmful substances that our found in tobacco, the big question still remains; does this makes E-cigs a healthier option to smoke cigarettes? The answer is probably yes, E-cigs is a healthier option. Although both types of cigars give us unwanted smoke in your lungs, E-cigs do not have other harmful substances that are found in tobacco smoking. E-cigs is in fact a healthier choice. In addition to that, E-cigs have different levels of nicotine. You can choose to opt for lower nicotine content, higher nicotine content or no nicotine content at all. With E-cigs, you simply have more option for nicotine intake. This is another advantage or reason why E-cigs is a better choice. 

E-cigs do not contain tobacco at all. This means that the risk from 2nd hand smoke is removed. In fact, E-cigs do not produce smoke at all. What it actually produce is vapor that looks like a real smoke from tobacco, taste like a real smoke from tobacco and smells like real smoke from tobacco. This makes E-cigarettes unaffected by places with smoking bans and of course. This also makes E-cigs a better option to smoke not just for your health but also for other’s health.

Anyone who wants to consider a healthier way to smoke cigars should consider electronic cigarettes. E-cigs simply do not contain tobacco and the harmful substances found in tobacco itself that makes cigarette smoking dangerous. For those people who simply want to quit smoking, E-cigs is a good option too because E-cigs provide less addiction compared to the regular smoking process. This makes it easier for smokers to quit smoking. E-cigs give the same feel and undeniably almost the same taste as tobacco smoking. Smokers wouldn’t miss what they can find in the regular tobacco smoking. All of these advantages make E-cig a better choice to smoke cigars. The search for a healthier option to smoke is finally over. There will come a time that the traditional tobacco smoking would not be recognized anymore. However, this would probably be a long time before this will be seen. E-cigs are still continuing to improve to become a healthier option. In the near future, maybe, just, maybe, smoking tobacco will totally be eliminated.
