WHAT ARE E-CIGARETTES?

E-cigarettes are called a variety of names. They are referred to as e-cigs, e-hookahs, vapes, vape pens, tank systems or mods. They are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. While some options resemble a conventional cigarette, others look far different. There have been a lot of recent discussions and debates about e-cigarettes. Unfortunately, misinformation is as widely distributed as the truth. A lot of people support e-cigarettes as an effective and safe method to quit smoking. However, more research is needed to fully understand the health effects of e-cigarettes. 

The device is battery-powered and works by heating a liquid into an aerosol. The user inhales and exhales this aerosol. The e-cigarette liquid normally consists of nicotine, glycerin, propylene glycol, flavorings and other chemicals. As most people already know, nicotine is an addictive drug. It is found in conventional cigarettes and assorted tobacco products. Flavoring chemicals, metals and other cancer-causing chemicals have been found in certain e-cigarette aerosols. It’s a good idea to know exactly what substances are present in the cartridge before smoking.

The companies who manufacture or sell e-cigarettes must adhere to certain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. You must be over the age of 18 to purchase e-cigarettes. Current research is likely to lead to further regulations and should prove helpful in making the public aware of what’s in e-cigarettes and any possible health risks from using them. E-cigarettes have not been approved by the FDA as a quit smoking aid. It’s always recommended to consult with your doctor before starting any new strategy.
