  • Do You Know What Kind Of Chemicals Are In Tobacco

    Posted on August 18th, 2009 admin No comments

    If you are a smoker, do you know all of the nasty things that are in the cigarettes you smoke? The answer to this question is probably no because if you did you probably would have never started. Almost anyone, even people that do not smoke know of some of the things in a cigarette. You all know about the tobacco and the nicotine, but then here are some things you do not know about. That one little cigarette has thousands of chemicals and here are just a few. There is cyanide and this is connected with poisoning. Then you have benzene and this is tied to pesticides, napalm and explosives. There is even a chemical that is used in connection to embalming and this is called formaldehyde. Then you have methanol and acetylene and these are used in fuels. Then, one more ammonia.

    All of these chemicals are used on the tobacco before it is even put in this cigarette. Then you have the papers and all of the chemicals that have been put on them and then the glue used to put it in the form you smoke. It is no wonder these cigarettes are so bad for you. The smoking of these cigarettes is like playing blinds man bluff or even Russian roulette. None of you would play either of these games, but when you smoke you are taking your life in your hands just like those games. You will likely end up losing in the end.

    Your tobacco companies do not tell you all that they use to make those cigarettes because if they did you would not be buying them. Now that you know about all of the chemicals would it not be a good idea to get away from them. There is a thing on the market that might help. It is called a e-cigarette. It as no tobacco, tar or any of those other things we just mentioned. It is a small battery shaped like a cigarette but without all of those other chemicals. It is safer for the smoker and all of your friends that might be close to you. The reason is that with no tobacco you will not have any secondhand smoke to send to those that are close.

    These e-cigarettes are one way to get away from actually using a tobacco product. When you get one you will be so happy you did because you might like it so well that you do not have to buy the real ones. This alone is a really good reason to get one as the costs of those real ones keep going up. So to get away from the real cigarettes and all of the things that go with it try one you will be happy you did.

  • If The FDA Requires A Prescription For Electronic Cigarette, Should Tobacco Be The Same?

    Posted on August 1st, 2009 admin No comments

    marlboro-prescription2Things can just get ridiculously crazy when it comes to the tobacco industry. As it stands today, tobacco companies are still allowed to grow and sell tobacco even though everyone knows that the tar it produces and the chemicals that are put in it are deadly. Even though the FDA has recently been given jurisdiction, so to speak, over the industry and there could be a few minor changes in the way it is marketed as far as labeling goes, people will still be able to suck up as many deadly cancer sticks as they ever did and as legally as they always have.

    Now this is where it gets a little crazier still. The FDA is supposed to be in place to protect people from deadly or harmful products in our food and medications. Then why is tobacco still legal at all? Oh yeah, the tobacco industry makes billions of dollars and the tax revenue from smokers has grown astronomically of late. Now the electric cigarette is being sold and tobacco smokers are giving it a try. It is less harmful than the chemical laden tobacco and there is no tar. There is no secondhand smoke to deal with, it is practically odorless, yet a smoker can still get the nicotine just like in their tobacco.

    Now all of a sudden the FDA is very concerned about the nicotine that you can get from the electric cigarette and they want to consider it a drug. Well, they might have done that already in a way because the nicotine gum and nicotine patches that you get from over the counter can be purchased freely by smokers. So why would it be necessary for a smoker to have to obtain a prescription from a doctor to be able to use an electric cigarette? In the first place, no one in the e-cigarette business markets their product as a stop smoking device. It is for smokers who want to stop using tobacco.

    Why does it appear that the FDA has it in for the electric cigarette when it can get people to stop smoking the much deadlier tobacco products? Oh yeah, it might not be in the best interest for some companies that we will let remain nameless. If the FDA has the best interest of smokers at heart as they are supposed to, why would they want to prevent smokers from using a product that has nicotine, just like other products on the market, but that can help a person stop smoking tobacco, which is supposed to be their goal, getting people to stop smoking tobacco? If the electric cigarette is so much less harmful than tobacco, why is the FDA not encouraging people to try this product instead of smoking tobacco?

    That is a question that does not even sound complicated. Why do they not continue researching the electric cigarette for themselves and find a way to get rid of tobacco instead of hassling a product that can help people stop smoking it, which is supposed to be a goal for the FDA in the first place?

    Another point is this. If the FDA requires that a smoker must obtain a prescription in order to have an electric cigarette because they have declared nicotine a drug, will they also impose that same rule and make it apply to buying tobacco and other nicotine products as well? After all, both the electric cigarette nicotine solution and tobacco cigarettes contain nicotine, so why should we have to have a prescription to enjoy one and not the other which is even more deadly to use?

    And what about the nicotine gum and nicotine patches that are already sold over the counter without a prescription? They contain nicotine too, so does this mean they will pull these products back from over the counter and require a prescription for them once again as well? It would seem that would only be fair for all nicotine products including tobacco itself., that is providing the FDA wants to be fair and reasonable.

  • Why Are So Many Smokers Using The Electric Cigarette These Days

    Posted on July 16th, 2009 admin No comments

    starter2__96175Have you come across a site on your computer about the e-cigarette and thought why use one or why not give it a try? These electronic cigarettes have only been around for about four years now and most of smokers have not even heard of them. But most of the people that have tried them really seem to like them. These are one way to stop smoking tobacco cigarettes and some even think it is a good way to try and stop smoking. You can find someone that might be using one or ask your doctor how they might be of benefit to you.

    The e-cigarettes are a new solution to the old problem of smoking tobacco. You have all of the other things on the market that you can buy in almost any store to help you quit, but the results you get from them are not always what they claim. They all give you the nicotine you want, but you do not have the help with all of the other aspects in quitting. You still have the need to have something in your hands and mouth. You can not use the patches and the gum at the same time because they both hold the nicotine. You can only use one or the other. Some of you might even try hypnosis to try to quit, but those of you that have tried this find out rather quickly that this does not work for long if at all.

    If you do give this e-cigarette a try, you might find that you really like the whole idea of using this and stop spending all of that money on the tobacco cigarettes. These have a nicotine filter on the end of it that will equal 15 to 20 cigarettes making it so that you will not need to spend this five or six dollars for this one pack. Think of the money you will save in a week or a month. Just one e-cigarette battery will last for months and a starter kit always comes with two batteries. So if you happen to smoke less than a pack a day, you might be able to make it last longer than that.

    When you order an electric cigarette starter kit, you will get two batteries and an atomizer that heats the nicotine liquid inside the filter tip. Most smokers use the electronic cigarettes as a means to continue to smoke rather than trying to quit. The reason for this is that it is considered by most research studies to be much safer than smoking tobacco and there are other benefits such as no odor, no tar, no lighting, and no secondhand smoke.
