I tried an E Cigarette on December 6, 2009 and I have not smoked since. I smoked two packs a day for 40 years. My health, especially my ability to breathe, has been improving ever since.
I enjoy nicotine but wasn’t thrilled with the toll smoking was taking on my health. E Cigarettes allow me to continue getting nicotine absent the deadly smoke!
The UCR study doesn’t seem to apply in my case. Since learning that nicotine from
vaping is more readily absorbed in the upper airways (due to its pH and lack of particulate matter) not in the lungs, my
vaping style resembles puffing on a cigar; I don’t deeply inhale vapor. Besides, I don't vape as often as I puffed on cigarettes.
E Cigarettes have been on the market (worldwide) for six years and there has not been one report of serious illness or injury connected with them; millions of consumers and not one report. I’d say that is a fairly large representative sample; certainly larger than the typical FDA study. Numerous studies have been conducted on E Cigarettes (aside from the FDA’s debunked one) and they largely conclude E Cigarettes are magnitudes safer than smoking.
Given the low success rate of FDA approved cessation products, you would think Public Health Agencies and Anti-Smoking Organizations would embrace this technology across-the-board? Banning E Cigarettes would steer vapers back to a well known killer!
