E-cigarettes are much safer

Since you’re “burning” tobacco, not to mention using an open flame to light it, traditional cigarettes by default pose serious fire hazards. Cigarettes are in fact the #1 cause of fire-related death in the United States and 7 other countries. Worldwide, fires started by lit cigarettes constitute 10% of all fire-related deaths.

With e-cigarettes, you’re not burning an open flame and don’t have a hot cherry that can burn you, your clothes, your furniture, and so on.

There was an incident where an e-cigarette exploded in the user’s face in early 2012. It was determined though that the particular unit the person was using was a “mod,” which is a way vapers can alter their devices for more power that involves stacking the batteries. When used as intended, there have been no reports of an e-cigarette exploding.

 

Well said. Any product you buy on the market can be dangerous, if used not as intended.
Be safe out there, enjoy vaping and ditch those cigarettes.

 

This is true. One of the nice things that you never really think all that much about in the switch to e cigarettes is that they are not messy. I do not have ash on my clothes or on the floor of the car or anything, and there are no burn marks. I have probably ruined about ten really good shirts that I liked due to cigarette burns over the years, not to mention car seats and sofa cushions. They are the much safer option in a lot of ways.

 

E cigarettes are so much safer I think. Both my doctor and my dentist were thrilled when I switched. Since I was dealing with asthma and gum disease a result of smoking, it wasn't so much the fire hazard I was concerned with but the effects of smoke on my mouth and my throat. After 3 years as a vaper/ex-smoker I can happily say these issues are soooooo much better now!

 

Definitely much safer as they are not a fire hazard. I still smoke regular cigarettes, and you're so right about the ashes getting everywhere. it's so disgusting and I am so ashamed of myself. I use my vape pen, but I think it's just to heavy. The menthol juice does not taste or feel like I'm use to either.

 

When it comes to e-cigarettes, I think a lot of non-smokers are under the impression that your still inhaling something into your lungs, so they don't believe that they are the safer option.

People that do smoke though, or should I say used to, see vaping as the perfect substitute for cigarettes and I think over the course of time that will certainly end up being the case.

 

That's a good point about the fire hazard. Not to mention the countless times I've been burned by cigarette when I was a kid, not because I was smoking it then but because people accidentally hit me with their cigarettes. Well, I was really small back then so maybe that's why they don't see me in a busy sidewalk. I'd just feel something painful and when we get home, bam, it's a cigarette burn.

Aside from that, we all know that when nicotine is burned, that's when it wreaks havoc. With the e-cigarettes, you don't burn the nicotine. Burning the nicotine, that smoke, is the culprit of lung cancers and other respiratory and oral cancers.

 

I have switched to ecigarettes from cigarettes. I have to say, I love the feeling that it gives me, also the fact that I do not smell of cigarettes and breath wise.
I have not touched a cigarette for two months and I already feel the benefits health wise.
I am not needing to vape as much as I would normally smoke and I love the fact that it comes in different flavors.

 

As you rightly point out, there are a lot of benefits to e-cigarettes but even after 3 months (nearly) of vaping, every now and again I do still like a real cigarette.

I was smoking 20 a day and now, with vaping aswell I'll smoke maybe 5 a week, so even though I still haven't managed to quit altogether, I've certainly cut down a massive amount.

 

Totally agree with you. When smoking cigarettes not only there's a health concern, but a fire hazard. I didn't know that many fires were started because of cigarettes; that's pretty scary considering the amount of people who smoke cigs indoors nowadays. I'll bring this up when convincing people to switch to vaping :')

 

My grandparents smoke cigarettes and they are planning on switching to vaping as it saves them going outside haha

 

I have a friend who actually use ecigerettes to stop smoking. I have noticed since he has began to use them he doesn't cough and wheeze near like he used to. I also seems to feel healthier. I am afraid though that since they are a chemical product it may have a bad outcome in the long run. The ecigerettes do have to be a little healthier then lighting up cigerattes and taking it in your lungs.

 

It is definitely safer no argument there, I have a few friends I'm still trying to convince to switch over. It's definitely saving a lot of people, I'm so happy I stopped cigarettes.

 

The fire risk and cigarettes does often get overlooked, but if you look at statistics regarding accidental fires in the home, a lot are caused by cigarettes not being put out properly, or left burning and forgotten about.

 

The same thing happened with me, no more coughing, phlegms and wheezing. I can get a good night's sleep because I don't get interrupted by coughing anymore. My teeth were whiter in just a few weeks as well as my gums became pinker. It's such a relief to know that my body's getting rid of all the nicotine and it's repairing itself. So I will hold on to vaping until studies prove that it is unhealthy or hazardous. Right now, no such study can prove the hazards of vaping at all.

 

I have always know e-cigs are sager than traditional cigarettes which makes me wonder why the gov't seems to pass certain unfair statutes on the regulation of e-cigarettes.

 

While I'm not one for conspiracy theories, one reason the government might be so strict on the regulations of vaping, might be because the less people that buy cigarettes, the less they'll be making in taxes.

While I'm sure that the government is concerned about people's health, I think they're probably more concerned with making money.

 

There is a lot of bad informations out there on vaping. Websites make their money by fearmonging. The true is ecigs are much safer than regular cigarettes. Of course it would be better to smoke nothing but if you can' stop it's a great alternative.

 

I agree with you that it's a safer option but some persons would be quick to judge based on the incident that had happened, not realizing that it wasn't a manufacturers fault but that of the consumer for not using as was intended. I am now myself just being made aware that it was due to misuse why that had happened. Thanks pal.

 

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory at all, lol! I mean, in our country, the laws are not yet passed to increase the prices for vices such as cigarettes or alcohol or the what you call "sin tax." Then, even though it's proven that showing graphic images of throat and oral cancer in cigarette packaging is effective to making smokers think about the effects of smoking, the law still is not passed. And who can we blame for that one? Why yes, the government!
