Because electronic cigarettes are still new to the market and not many extensive studies have been done for this product, the statistics of the risks and dangers of long term use of this device is still yet to be established.  Compared to not using an electronic cigarette and not smoking regular cigarettes, smoking electronic cigarettes may add health risks.  It’s not natural to inhale vapors all day, whether or not they are filled with cancer causing carcinogens or not.  This list below covers more of the health benefits that electronic cigarettes can provide when compared to smoking regular cigarettes.

The Smell Electronic Cigarette Versus Tobacco

Electronic cigarettes do not emit any odor that induces coughing like regular cigarettes.  The vapor released is a water based vapor and contains propylene glycol, a common food additive  which is odorless but adds flavor to the vapor when inhaled.  It doesn’t stink up your clothes like smoking regular tobacco cigarettes which is awesome.

The Carcinogen Factor

Like I mentioned above, there hasn’t been enough long term or short term effects of the vapor and nicotine juice on our health that is used in the electronic cigarettes.  In a recent report the FDA reported carcinogens in some of the electronic cigarettes tested (note: not all brands of electronic cigarettes were found with these particular carcinogens).  Some say that there are only trace amounts that are barely above detection.  In any case, this shows that further studies need to be done before declaring these e-cigs safe.  But despite the findings, electronic cigarettes are hardly comparable with regular cigarettes that contain thousands of carcinogens and toxins.  There is also no tar and tobacco in the electronic cigarettes.  In an interview with a doctor in this field, it was stated that electronic cigarettes are 2-3 orders of magnitudes (100-1000 times) less dangerous than regular cigarettes.

Save Money While Saving Your Life

While purchasing a starter kit may cost you a chunk of change initially, buying nicotine flavor cartridges run a lot cheaper than buying cartons of regular cigarettes.  If you decide to quit smoking and replace it with vaping electronic cigarettes, you will end up saving a good amount of money on a monthly basis.

Replication of Smoking Tobacco

I have personally tried many smoking cessation devices and while these devices do curb the craving of smoking cigarettes, the habit of smoking is not eliminated.  Ideally you can quit cold turkey and magically forget about all the years you’ve taken those smoke breaks, but that’s obviously difficult.  Electronic cigarettes replicate smoking to a tee.  The only major difference that I’ve noticed is the fact that they are so heavy when compared to regular cigarettes.  This is due to the battery and metal involved.  They light up, you inhale, you blow out, you get your nicotine fix, its great!

No Tobacco Smoke Stains

I had a friend who was an avid smoker and when he showed me the area on his fingers that he used to smoke, I was pretty shocked when there was a noticeably different color in that area, a bit yellowish.  Cigarette smoking had stained his skin.  It also stains clothes, curtains and anything that it is exposed to for a long time.  Electronic cigarettes will not.

Freedom to Smoke Anywhere You Want

With more restrictive laws every year for smoking cigarettes, it gets a bit annoying if have a smoke these days.  Although I do enjoy taking smoke breaks and bonding with other smokers at bars, parties or office buildings, sometimes it is just a hassle to walk to the lobby and take the elevator down 20 flights to have 1 cigarette.  Electronic cigarettes are allowed anywhere and anytime you want.

Polluting the Air is Not A Problem

Not only will you not pollute the air, you don’t risk causing a forest fire or burning the back of your car seat by throwing a partially lit cigarette bud away.  Electronic cigarettes are GREEN.
