Nicotine Addiction not all bad

[KatyS]

Ran across this article today which answers alot of members questions about nicotine addiction. Nicotine has gotten a bad rap.
Nicotine and addiction. (tobaccoharmreduction.org)

Thats very informative and true. Its also sad that many people just don't realise this and nicotine is automatically associated with death and cancer because of normal cigarettes and this will be the biggest obstacle when it comes to the curtain twitchers who have no idea what they are talking about and want to ban ecigs through ignorance.

Nicotine doesn't "Cause" cancer- but it does cause carcinogens to turn into cancer by increasing the mechanism that causes cancer- Technically, Nicotine doesn't cause cancer, but it does increase the risk of getting cancer. BUT quitting smoking while maintaining a nicotine intake, will dramatically decrease cancer risk as cigarettes are highly toxic and carcinogenic with about 60 some odd chemicals, manyof which increase cancer suceptibility.

The studies I've read say stimulants in general antagonize or speed up cancer cells. So we might as well pile Caffeine , Sugar, and carbohydrates on the list also.
You dont want to give our readers a false sense of security that if they stop nicotine you put cancer at bay.
If you drink a cup of coffee in the morning, wash down your lunch with a Cafinated soada in the afternoon, have a bowl of rice for dinner, and piece of cake for desert, your just as likely to increasing the mechanism that feeds cancer cells.

Cancer Loves all these things so doctors will give you a special no stimulant, low carb diet to folllow durring your treatments.

The beauty of PG/VG is we control the nicotine intake, and have the option of cutting it completely while keeping all the flavor, unlike tobacco.

In my initial switch to the electronic alternative I had been reading numerous online articles focused on the negative health effects of analogs (as a motivational influence) and countless articles would do just what is being discussed here, in claiming that the alkaloid is a major destroyer of health. I honestly believe these people should not be posting educational papers aimed at the general public when clearly they fail to understand the mechanism of harm is the combustion sequence taking place with the other compounds it happens to be packaged with. Sometimes I feel like writing enraged letters to these people documenting their vague guess work as fact, just to demand citations for whatever non existent controlled studies they are basing these assumptions upon, but clearly they are not even worth the effort.
