Electronic cigarettes are being marketed as a much safer alternative to smoking tobacco. However just how safe are e-cigarettes? Are there any health threats? Let's analyze electrical smoking cigarettes and compare it to "real" cigarette smoking so you can make an intelligent choice if this may be a smart cigarette smoking option for you.

The most harmful element of smoking cigarettes is the 4,000 hazardous chemicals that are inhaled when you burn tobacco. It's the actual smoke that is causing lung cancer and respiratory disease, not the nicotine. With electronic smoking none of these 4,000 poisonous chemicals are produced because there is no smoke ... nothing is in fact burning. No smoke means no tar, carbon monoxide, and so on

. However what about the nicotine? E-cigarettes still deliver nicotine. How dangerous is that? More independent research studies on the results of nicotine by itself have to be done. Today the health risks are still undetermined. Nonetheless, it's obvious that a technique of delivering nicotine that doesn't involve genuine smoke is going to be much more secure than burning tobacco.

The FDA just recently reported that traces of carcinogens where found in a sample of e cigarette nicotine liquid. However, these very same carcinogens are also found in nicotine delivery options like the spot and gum (which are both approved by the FDA). Also remember that lots of every day foods like peanut butter contain trace levels of carcinogens. This is not to say that we should not be concerned about it. Simply keep it in point of view. It's vital to bear in mind that the dosage of a particular carcinogen is a crucial consider it's toxicity. If carcinogens are present in e-cigarette vapor, it doesn't not seem in high dosages. Right now there is no proof that these carcinogens are are even equated into the real electronic cigarette vapor that is breathed in.

Are electric cigarettes absolutely safe? Up until more research studies are done it's most likely a smart idea to err on the side of care and presume that they are not 100 % safe. However when you compare it to "actual" smoking there really is no comparison. One thing we understand for sure is that tobacco smoking is exceptionally harmful, expensive and troublesome. E-cigarettes offer cigarette smokers an option that appears to be much more secure and will probably conserve numerous lives. Given a choice between the 2? I believe it's a no brainer ...
