This is a legitimate question. Nicotine intake is already an issue with many who are smokers. I went to my doctor and he told me that the options were either die from stress or die from smoking. He made a valid point. I smoke because it is a mood stabilizer. Studies have shown that people who are quitting smoking get moody and angry. The same goes with coffee drinkers. Wellbutrin is a drug that helps people get off cigarettes and is a mood stabilizer as well.
Many factors have to be considered before taking this medication. Chronic depression being an underlying issue will surface when taking this medication. Unresolved anger issues surface because now you have to deal with the causes of depression which manifest as anger or frustration.
People saw a change in my mood and depending upon the dose it can also mask your mood to a point where your personality affect is flat. Too much of Wellbutrin you have no mood or personality. Too low a dose nothing is happening. Then when you are on the correct dose depression issues manifest as anger or frustration.
Nicotine for some strange reason balances the mood. It also helps many cope with stress better and studies have show many benefits to nicotine for people in very stressful jobs, but the benefits from smoking are offset by the carcinogens associated with smoking that will cause cancer or even kill you.
Four Surprising Potential Health Benefits of Nicotine
1. Nicotine Can Enhance Brain Function in People With Cognitive Decline
2. It Might Help With Depression
3. Nicotine Could Enhance Your Attention
If true, that could be significant: Brain scans of people with high-functioning depression show hyperactivity in regions of the brain associated with rumination. Depressed brains are often considered more “inward looking” than healthier ones, which is one reason why the condition tends to involve obsessively replaying one's past mistakes and agonizing about the future. Therapy and medication help to calm these overactive networks, and if nicotine can play a role in producing more extroverted qualities and de-emphasizing introverted ones, it could potentially be another tool for combating depression. For now, a lot more research is needed.
I am not promoting or advocating vaping or smoking, but I will not deny studies have shown there are benefits to smoking that help treat other conditions. The issue right now with vaping is how much is too much?
I am yet to see a study being done on this. I think the reason so many are hesitant to switching from smoking to vaping is the confusing information on vaping. You have dosage levels, then you have different flavors, how many "puffs" is equal to one cigarette and how many is equal to a pack.
I could go outside and smoke a cigarette and count the number of puffs I take, but then would that number be the same for vaping?
I saw a report where the FDA endorses vaping over smoking and regular tobacco, but there has not been enough long-term data collected yet to determine if there are other negative affects to vaping in comparison to tobacco smoking.
The concerns are that we are setting ourselves up for failure. Switching from a semi-automatic weapon to a fully automatic weapon. By not having stricter controls on the vaps and not enforcing the same sales rules that they have on tobacco products is the major concern. Now we have a generation of younger people who have access to the vaps and we still do not have concrete information being given to the public about the amount of nicotine being dispensed in each puff.
Even when I Googled this question there was little to no information on this topic and I also think that was a major concern for those using marijuana. There was no way to determine the quantity levels in a persons blood to determine if they were driving impaired.
The last I heard about this was determining a level of marijuana consumption that could be standardized like alcohol, but the problem was, each person is different. One level of smoking of marijuana will impair one person where that same amount may not impair someone who has been smoking for years.
The point is, having clear information on this topic should be the first goal in making this product safe. We will always have issues of abuse. That is their choice, but for those who want to use the product responsibly provide this information.
The question again, "How many puffs on a e-cig is equal to one cigarette?"
Not someones person opinion, I want to know because the goal here is to switch and not increase my nicotine intake. I would hope to stop completely, but lets say I am taking in 25 puffs on an e-cig every 2 hours am I increasing my nicotine intake or decreasing it?
I have asked several people now and no one has a clear answer to this question. All I get is peoples opinions, such as, "You will know when you are smoking too much."
Really, I will know. Then why would I be asking this question and researching it on the internet. I don't know and very few of us know. I do not under stand with this technology why someone has not developed an e-cig where you can digitally put in the amount you want and the vap will stop working when you reach that limit?
I do not see this being difficult to add to an already electronic device. Just press in 1 cigarette the amount of nicotine in container and mg levels of nicotine and once it has dispensed the amount calculated it will shut off.
Allow for a margin of error of 2 or 3 additional puffs, but right now the issue has been how much is too much and how much is too little?
I know several people like myself who want to switch over to the vap but we do not know if it makes sense to do this to get further addicted to nicotine.
Is it 10 puffs, 14 puffs, 20 puffs?
Just like the e-cig I just got. I can see the warning labels all over the box, but no where does it tell me the nicotine levels in the cartridge?
When I asked the clerk before buying she had no clue, all she said was: "This is what everyone is buying."
Yes, I em a lemming, that is the correct answer as I walk off the cliff with the rest of the lemmings.
I feel if someone can direct me to the information I am requesting this will allow me to make an informed decision whether to switch or just stay with what I am currently doing. The patch and gum does not work for me. I like the ritual of walking away from my computer and standing outside. Smoking gets me away from my work for awhile and allows me the downtime I need.
Can someone please provide this information form me.
