  • Replace Tobacco With The Electronic Cigarette

    Posted on March 7th, 2010 admin No comments

    There is a lot of people that are saying that the electronic cigarette will help you to stop smoking, when in fact the electric cigarette was designed to be a replacement for smoking tobacco. You can give up smoking tobacco if you use your electric cigarette regularly and put the tobacco aside, but no one ever meant that this device would not make you want the nicotine that you are used to, it is simply a different way to get it. The e-cigarette does provide you with the nicotine you crave and it is a much cleaner way to get it.

    The e-cigarette does not produce any tar because it is never lit with fire. The nicotine solution is heated by a tiny little heater called an atomizer. The atomizer is powered by a rechargeable battery stick. When air is drawn through that atomizer and warmed it heats the nicotine liquid that the user inhales. It is not real carcinogenic smoke, but a water vapor mixed with the nicotine solution. The vapor evaporates very quickly when it is exhaled and does not produce deadly secondhand smoke for harm others around you.

    The purpose of the electric cigarette is to allow you to have your nicotine, mock the act of smoking tobacco, but without a lot of the annoyances that come with tobacco use. There are no ashes to deal with using the e-cigarette. There is no stinky odor to smell up you home or car. Since there is no sticky tar residue involved, it will not stain your skin, clothes, or other items in your home or car.

    The nicotine filters you use with the device are almost equivalent to one pack of tobacco cigarettes and on filter should last you all day if you are accustomed to smoking one pack per day. One fully charged battery stick should also last you all day if you use just one filter. You never have to worry about where you can put out your e-cigarette because there is no fire. This also means that there is no risk of burning anything and starting a fire even if you fell asleep with it in your hand. If you drop it in your car while you are driving down the road, there is absolutely no reason to panic like you would if it were a burning tobacco cigarette. You simply let it lie where it landed until you stop and retrieve it.

    You can continue to use tobacco cigarettes if you choose to, but it is better if you switch to the electric cigarette completely if you really want to reduce the risks of health damage that is caused by tobacco smoking. Using the electric cigarette does not mean you are giving up your nicotine, you are just changing the way you are getting it.

  • Parts Of The Body Cigarette Smoking Destroys

    Posted on March 7th, 2010 admin No comments

    Sometimes cigarette smokers are under the impression that it takes many years for the habit to do any real damage to their bodies, but that simply is not true. Cigarette smoking begins to have detrimental affects on your body as soon as you start doing it regularly. Granted, it might take a lot of years for you to get a serious smoking related disease, but that does not mean that damage is not being done long before that. If you are wondering specifically which parts of the body smoking can affect, that is simple to answer, almost everything.

    The damage from smoking cigarettes begins with the mouth, throat, larynx since that is where the smoke goes first. It can cause throat irritation and irritation to the gum. After you have smoked for a while, you might notice that your voice sounds raspier, this is because it is affecting your larynx. Next the smoke goes into the lungs. It can cause excess mucus and narrowing and swelling of the airways. It can cause the lungs to be less able to clear themselves of poisonous substances. You will cough more and after a while wheeze as well. It causes permanent lung damage.

    Smokers realize that smoking causes problems with their breathing because this is one of the smoking side effects that they notice the soonest. It does not mean that are things are not being affected as well that they can not feel. The blood can be stickier and carry less oxygen. The blood pressure and the heart rate will many times begin to be affected. This raises the risks for blockages which can lead to strokes and heart attacks. The linings of the arteries can be damaged causing atherosclerosis which is a build up of fatty deposits on the artery walls. This causes poor blood flow.

    These are the damages that most smokers might also know can happen to them. The things they might not know anything at all about is are the facts that it can reduce male sperm count and normalcy, reduce female fertility, cause skin wrinkles, early menopause in women, reduce male sex hormones, cause male impotence, contribute to cervix cancer in women, and osteoporosis. The list goes on and on and on. Smoking can affect the unborn baby in pregnant women, it can make it harder to get over colds or the flu. There is no end to the types of cancer you can have develop because of cigarette smoking.

    The sad thing is that there is no certain time gage when you will develop disease from smoking. For some people it might be thirty years, for others it could be twenty or even ten. The longer you smoke, the more at risk you become. The good news is the sooner you quit, the better chance there is that your body will heal itself. If you wait until disease has already set in before you quit, you might have already waited to late to reverse any damage.

  • smoking cessation benefits, Benefits Of Smoking Cessation

    Posted on March 7th, 2010 admin No comments

    I hate to be the one to tell you the truth on this matter since the whole world has been led to believe that the FDA approved smoking cessation products really work, and when people find out that they do not work, they state that the products do indeed work, but that is an open lie.
    The vast majority of the FDA approved smoking cessation products do not work any better than the everyday sugar pill. The national average success rate for FDA approved smoking cessation products range between 2% and 5% depending on what bullshit study they throw at you, but what I want to ask you is, do you know of any other field or industry that has a 2 to 5% success rate that stays in business long? I think not!
    So, what is going on in the cessation market that is approved by the FDA and supported strongly by the anti-smoking nazi groups like ASH? Before we get into it, let’s get some basic information straight. The smoking cessation market is a 2.3 billion a year industry for the pharmaceutical companies, that is not millions, but BILLIONS each year they make selling crap that does not work for 98% of smokers trying to kick the habit.
    So, how do these products get approved with such a low success rate? Follow the money and you will soon see the monopoly that these companies have created through buying laws to protect their markets.
    Once clinical trials are completed (which are corrupt by the way, see this link for more information), the FDA creates and advisory board to decide if the product or drug is going to be approved based on “evidence” from the clinical trials. But who sits on these advisory boards? Surely it would not be people who work for big pharmaceutical companies directly or indirectly, would it? Well, it is. So, in essence, we have the fox guarding the henhouse, and that can in no way be good for the hens, now can it?
    Next we have what is called NGO’s, or non-governmental organizations that do research and “studies” to support their activism for policy change(policy change is a fancy way to say, get some laws changed in their favor). These NGO’s are directly started and funded by both the federal government with tax money, and the pharmaceutical companies who benefits from these “policy changes” that they are funded to lobby for.
    One pharmaceutical company in particular has a money trail of 99 million from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to these special interest groups or NGO’s. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has an estimated 700 million worth of stock in Johnson and Johnson, whose products are probably found in your medicine cabinet at this very moment.

    The two main points of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundations were that “(1) the Foundation encouraged its grantees to be activists; (2) advocacy was emphasized to bring about policy change”, and in their own chilling words, they “provided financial support and, in particular, funds to help lobbying efforts which the Foundation could not support directly.”
    So, knowing that if the smoking cessation company itself was to lobby directly, there would be a public outcry, so they fund NGO’s that are run by their people, to create policy change(write new laws) to protect their 2.3 BILLION a year industry.
    If you checked the links, it is easy to see that they are just playing you and millions of other smokers for profit, and they do not want a product on the table that works, or they would not lobby for laws that keeps the competition out of the market.
    Now, I read a post on hubpages that makes the most sense in the world concerning why most smoking cessation products do not work and why this person thinks that there is a product that does work for most, but the information above is the basis for this product getting a lot of organized resistance from the same groups listed above in the links.
