Does E-Cigarettes Let Your Health Better?

If you haven't already heard, electronic cigarettes have grabbed the attention of countless tobacco users worldwide. Everyone from movie stars to your neighbors are using them. But are they really a healthier and cheaper alternative to traditional cigarettes? Can they really help you quit smoking? Creators and product users now say you can enjoy a cheaper, healthier cigarette without the bad smells, second-hand smoke, or cancer causing chemicals. With these huge claims, an investigation was launched to uncover the truth behind electronic cigarettes.

A few of the benefits claimed from using the electronic cigarette:
  • No tar, tobacco, carbon monoxide, or ash.
  • Get the same amount of nicotine as a regular cigarette.
  • Each cartridge costs less than $2 and is equivalent to an entire pack of cigarettes.
  • You can save over $1,000 each year.
  • You won't "smell" like a smoker any longer.
  • Different flavors are available.
  • No more second-hand smoke.
Because of these apparent benefits and the now exploded popularity of trying e-cigarettes, expert medical doctors and product users have had a number of surprising things to say. For example, Joel Niztkin, Chair of the Tobacco Control Task Force for the American Association of Public Health Physicians concluded that "...if we get all tobacco smokers to switch from regular cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, we would eventually reduce the US death toll from more than 400,000 a year to less than 4,000, maybe as low as 400." 
If you're one of the millions of people out there, you're addicted to smoking, there may finally be some hope for you..the electronic cigarette.
It gives you nicotine but it doesnt give you any of the other 4000 chemicals that can cause cancener among other problems."
 - Dr. Travis Stork from "The Doctors"
In the United States alone, over 700,000 smokers have already switched to electronic cigarettes. The Doctors also interviewed Beverly, one of the many whose life has dramatically changed thanks to the electronic cigarette. She said that she smoked for over 15 years, and she thought that she would never quit. To her surprise though, when she tried electronic cigarettes she was able to quit smoking regular cigarettes two days later. "I was suspicious at first...but I have to say I am convinced, it's very good. Its a great alternative. it still gives you the action of smoking. I would as a smoker, recommend it to smokers that are trying to give up (smoking)." - Beverly


A number of positive testimonials such as this one have been given and as more and more Americans are made aware of this new technology, more and more smokers are making the switch. These interviews and research have shown that the electronic cigarette has quickly become the #1 choice for smokers looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. With the high cost of smoking traditional cigarettes, and with the danger cigarettes bring to your health, a strong recommendation and "thumbs up" is given to anyone looking to give these devices a try.
