GENERAL INFORMATION
An “Electronic Cigarette”, also known as a “Smokeless Cigarette”,“E-cigarette”, “E-cig”, “Electronic Cig” or a “Vaporizer”, is a Smokeless battery-powered device. They are non-combustible and do not require flame. They provides inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. It is a Clean alternative to smoking tobacco products, such as cigarettes or cigars.
In addition to purported nicotine delivery, the vapor also provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke, while no tobacco, smoke, or combustion is actually involved in its operation. Electronic Cigarettes for Sale are a safer alternative to traditional smoking methods. Giving the appearance of traditional cigarettes and cigars, electronic products come with refillable parts and are charged using AC, DC or USB adapters.
Yes, it is perfectly legal to smoke electronic products in areas with a non smoking sign.
Yes! Here at the eCig Shop, all products are sold with a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Customers looking for cost effective yet quality Electronic Cigarettes will find our products pass numerous, rigorous quality assurance and safety inspections. The vapor devices and battery are manufactured to extremely high standards and are each individually tested prior to final assembly. However, both are consumable devices that will ultimately need replacing after a length of time depending on usage and treatment. It is therefore impossible for us to guarantee this part beyond its initial use
ECigs are usually cheaper to operate.
The Electronic Cigarette, E-cigarette, E-cig, E Cig, Ecigs, Smokeless Cigarette is composed of a microprocessor, a vaporizer or “atomizer”, an internal sensor that begins the vaporizing process and a “juice” or dissolved nicotine solution cartridge that contains the liquid being vaporized. The juice or e-juice is simply a mixture of nicotine, water and propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin.
Propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin is used for several reasons. First, it allows nicotine to be dissolved within it and is bactericidal. Secondly and perhaps most importantly, when vaporized, it creates a visible, white smoke-like vapor that provides the user a feeling of actually smoking a tobacco cigarette product.
However, there are important differences. First, the electronic cigarette’s vaporization process produces a liquid vapor – not smoke. In other words, vapor is composed of tiny liquid (water and propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin molecules) that behave like smoke but are not actual smoke.
By contrast, tobacco cigarettes are burned and the smoke tobacco cigarettes produce is composed of both a very hot, dangerous gas (carbon monoxide, also found in automobile exhaust) as well as solid materials (e.g. ash and tar). The “ash” from tobacco cigarette smoke is caused by the incomplete combustion or burning of the cigarette paper (a highly-chemically treated wood product) and the tobacco leaf.
However, within the tobacco leaf, cigarette manufacturers also include 4,000 other chemicals that, for their stated reasons, are “necessary” to help regulate the burning process and the nicotine delivery process. These chemicals can include: arsenic, lead, benzene, Polonium, formaldehyde, Freon, fungicides, herbicides, pesticides and many, many others.
It is also worth noting that 400,000 cigarette smokers die each year due to tobacco-related consumption. While the research continues, many physicians and scientists point to the additives in tobacco as a major culprit to tobacco smokers’ death rates. Additionally, tobacco smoking is also associated with numerous other diseases such as heart disease and emphysema being just two.
Some critics of electronic cigarettes have argued that by adding flavors and aromas of candy that electronic cigarette will entice younger people to use the devices. Critics believe (although there is no definitive peer-reviewed longitudinal studies that create test/control groups to account for the effects of $13B in yearly tobacco marketing and influence in popular culture. Critics further argue that once young people – or anyone for that matter – try electronic cigarettes, they will find themselves invariably addicted to nicotine and that such addiction will lead to tobacco cigarette addiction.
These are devices that are only used by current tobacco smokers in conjunction with and or as an alternative to smoking tobacco. There has been no research or data to support that by being initially introduced to nicotine via electronic cigarettes that users will then be more likely to use tobacco products than the general population.
SAFETY
Most combustible tobacco products contain dangerous carbon monoxide and include over 4000+ harmful chemicals and carcinogens that tobacco smoke produces; many emitted by the reaction that takes place when tobacco and paper are burned.. Since eCigs contain no tobacco and are not ignited, this harmful reaction is eliminated. Because there is no combustion whatsoever there are no toxins or by-products produced by combustion. Thus a safer and cleaner product to use.
Research scientists and physicians who focus on public health policy concerning tobacco-deaths and tobacco-related injuries have argued that anything that reduces the harm inflicted on tobacco smokers would deliver a net-positive impact on public health. These scientists argue that offsetting the volume of cigarettes consumed in a day would have a benefit, even if the tobacco users remained tobacco users for the rest of their lives.
They argue that when taken as a whole, reduction of worldwide tobacco consumption would have a net reduction in death and disease, prolonging life and increasing quality of life for the entire population of both smokers and those exposed to second hand and third hand tobacco smoke contaminants. Therefore, many of researchers have advocated for electronic cigarettes because, quite simply, electronic cigarettes slow the consumption of tobacco cigarettes.
Nicotine is not believed to be a carcinogen. However, could it actually be a health promoter?
Many researchers state and the medical community appears to concur that nicotine alone is not a carcinogen. Scientists, however, point to other elements within tobacco cigarettes as the primary drivers in cancer and disease, the most popular culprits being of course, tar, ash and carbon monoxide.
Unbeknown to many, nicotine has health promoting properties. Researchers have found many positive uses for nicotine. Nicotine is currently being studied as an important agent in fight against many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. For example, researchers at University Hospital Cardiff Wales are exploring the use of nicotine as a healing agent in ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s Disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS.)
Therefore, arguments that Electronic Cigarettes, Electronic Cigs, E-Cigs, Ecigs,Smokeless Cigarettes are dangerous simply because they contain nicotine cannot on their face be true. For example, tobacco smokers do not seem to contract ulcerative colitis. Scientists posit that it is the nicotine that is actually preventing them from contracting the disease.
Of all controversial substances known to man, nicotine sure must be one of the most researched. While it has been established that nicotine is an addictive substance, the question for tobacco smokers now is balancing the relative harms of continued nicotine use against the relative benefits. In the past, the only argument was to smoke tobacco or to not smoke tobacco.
With the introduction of Electronic Cigarettes, Ecigs, E Cigarettes, E-Cigs, Smokeless Cigarettes there now is an alternative to tobacco-derived nicotine. Nicotine users, therefore, have and should continue to have the option as to how they consume this substance. As long as tobacco remains legal in the United States, and as long as states profit from its sale and use, smokers should retain the option as to how they receive that nicotine.
Arguably, the state has a duty to its taxpaying citizens to enact and enforce beneficial public health policies. It also has the responsibility to not knowingly promote and / or rely on addicting its citizenry to nicotine for the purposes of revenue generation. As long as tobacco is legal, that process of addiction will continue. Therefore, it is argued that as long as the state profits from that process, the addicted citizens deserve the right to access to information and alternatives which might prolong their lives and or increase their quality of life without the undue interference and manipulation of special interest groups.
The argument is not whether one should or should not smoke. Rather, the argument is whether current smokers should be allowed to continue their nicotine usage via a less noxious and potentially less lethal method.
