E-Cigs – Safe Or Scary?

Most of the health concerns regarding E-cigarettes have focused on the lack of nicotine, but there is still so much that is unknown about their effect on human health. In addition to the varying levels of nicotine, they also contain other well-known cancer causing substances such as formaldehyde and diacetyl. It’s interesting to note that many people are wary about putting vaccines in their bodies that contain formaldehyde, but they have no problem using E-cigarettes and inhaling it!
As more research on these cigarette alternatives becomes available, it becomes obvious that there are more dangers associated with these electronic devices. Although many people say that they prefer the dangers of E-cigarettes to regular tobacco products, however trading one thing that is bad for your health for another that is equally as bad, is not a good choice.
By the way, in case you are thinking that formaldehyde and diacetyl are the only two substances found in these devices, you should know that the German Cancer Research Center also found that E-cigs contain compounds such as metal particles, acetone (nail polish remover), acetaldehyde, silicate, and benzopyrene. Don’t those sound lovely?

We realize that many people turn to E-cigarettes in their efforts to quit smoking, and we want to applaud the effort, however, there are a great number of steps that one can take to quit tobacco and still not endanger your health.
Think twice before you take a drag on that E-cigarette. Is your health really worth it?

Strange,although they espouse the danger in 47 0f 50 brands they tested the names of these brands are mysteriously concealed. I only buy e-liquids that are laboratory made and independently tested to be free of any of these dangers. Why don’t they advise consumers to do their homework
instead. The truth is most of these non studies are supported by big pharma and tobacco companies for their own benifit. They want to keep the status quo and keep corporate profit rolling in FOREVER! I have been vaping for several years after 50years of tobacco addiction and I feel and am much,much healthier. Don’t believe it,just ask my Doctors!

I not only vape but I also manufacture e-liquid. There is nothing in these e-liquids that are not consumed in food every day. After smoking for 15 years, I feel better, have saved a fortune, and don’t smell like an ashtray. Not only are these articles backed by special interest resistance, but the government/mafia wants their cut. It’s all about money. They are losing tax dollars from people quitting cigarettes and going to vaping. I’m sure in the future the government and all the associated corporations that are losing money to vaping will get their way.
