Politicians and health officials in the United States want to ban products known as e-cigarettes, without submitting any proof that they are unsafe. While e-cigarette manufacturers have submitted their products for testing to laboratories who have released studies stating that the products are safe and healthier than tobacco cigarettes, health organizations blast the studies as biased due to who funded the studies.
E-cigarette studies released in the United Kingdom and in New Zealand state that e-cigarettes are safer than tobacco cigarettes by 100 times. Tobacco cigarettes emit over 4,800 chemicals (including arsenic, formaldehyde, and many others), according to the CDC, and e-cigarette mist contains none of that.
Further, studies have concluded that bystanders do not have to worry about being exposed to secondhand mist, due to the fact that the mist dissipates within seconds after it is exhaled. It does not hang in the air like smoke does because of its low temperature and weight. Heat rises and unless the mist is exhaled upwards, it does not stay at the person's breathing level; it sinks. In fact, e-cigarettes only emit 10% of the heat tobacco cigarettes do and when they are not being puffed on, they do not heat up at all.
Aside from e-cigarettes being better for the body than tobacco cigarettes, they also pose no fire hazard, since they do not combust tobacco and are not on fire. An e-smoker can put their e-cigarette down anywhere they want to without concern that it will burn the surface or themselves. Store it in a shirt or jacket pocket like a pen and take it out as wanted. It's ready to use, but not difficult to put down, unlike tobacco cigarettes that require ash trays and other proper places to dispose of them. Why smoke an entire tobacco cigarette when you can take a puff off an e-cigarette and put it away? Nicotine is absorbed into the body faster through e-cigarette mist, so the craving for the nicotine is killed much faster. No commitment to smoking an entire cigarette just because you don't want to waste it and odds are, you'll end up smoking LESS!
While many e-cigarette manufacturers have put their products to the test, the FDA and other organizations still have not performed their own studies on the products, despite the products' availability and having had ample time to research the products on their own. Smokers are waiting for them to step up to the plate.
