E-Cigarettes

by Dr Karl A. Cox

Description E-cigarettes are a toxic combination of chemicals that more and more younger people are turning to. This book takes a recent look at the news and facts about e-cigarettes, noting also the enormous revenues that are being made in this still small but ever expanding market. The evidence is now showing that electronic cigarettes do not help people quit smoking. Though electronic cigarettes are considered less harmful than tobacco cigarettes, they are nonetheless highly addictive and contain many carcinogens and toxins that can only cause harm. It's shown that children who try e-cigarettes are six times more likely to try tobacco cigarettes. It's fact that the harm done to lungs by the vapor of an e-cigarette is similar to that of tobacco smoke. There's no doubt e-cigarettes are just another form of smoking. Even a national chain of chemists who stock smoking cessation devices list e-cigarettes not as a smoking cessation aid but as an alternative to smoking. They have done their research and not listened to the hype. Tobacco smoking is deadly and all cigarettes should be banned worldwide. E-cigarettes are only really an alternative to tobacco and also should be banned worldwide. Companies should not have the right to poison people for profit. The science is clear that e-cigarettes are not safe and nor are they a cessation device that will help people stop smoking. They are just an alternative, owned by Big Tobacco and, highly harmful of themselves. This book explores the Big Tobacco industry, governments and NGOs that work around promoting e-cigarettes and how children are turning to them as an alternative to tobacco cigarettes. The book focusses on the scientific studies showing negative health effects, potential and realised, from using e-cigarettes and goes on to table the main chemicals and toxins found in e-cigarettes. It's so important that people quit smoking tobacco cigarettes. But to switch to e-cigarettes and think you are healed is a mistake. E-cigarettes are packed with dangerous chemicals, are addictive and have been shown to lead ex-tobacco smokers back to tobacco. So just as tobacco cigarettes should be banned globally, so should electronic cigarettes.
