Take A Look At This

I was just curious as to how fire safe cigarettes work, since that was when I started to hack and cough from smoking them, so I found this site.

Also for more info go to wikipedia and look up the msds for EVA. Ethylene-vinyl acetate. here's the link.

Yep, that is scary, and to think I have been inhaling that crap for as long as they made it mandatory here. Now I know why I was always coughing and always had a tightness in my chest.

I don't even care that much about the chemicals, I mean we're already inhaling millions of terrible chemicals. But man they taste awful, that's what has made me decided to switch to vaping. My 510 should be here in the next day or two and I just smoked my last cigarette last night and I'm contemplating whether or not to go buy another pack or not... I'm leaning towards no just because I think of that nasty, nasty taste they leave. I can go a couple days without a smoke.... I think

Where is the FDA report that says e-cigs are 1,400 times safer than analogs that this blog mentions? I would like to read that report. Sure would help my arguing points with my analog smoking friends.

I was wondering about the same thing.

I honestly think, to the writers discredit, that it was inferred. As the reported amounts of chemicals detectable in analogs is so much greater than in an E-Cig, and she was making the comparison herself as opposed to the FDA actually stating that outright. It really makes proof hard to come by when people interpret information like this. And it seals the need for a justifiable and verifiable source. Again, this is my opinion.

Crazy and gross.

The FDA didn't make this statement literally, but I think the author is referring to the information that can be inferred. The topic is discussed here:

The Rest of the Story: Tobacco News Analysis and Commentary: Comparison of Carcinogen Levels Shows that Electronic Cigarettes are Much Safer Than Conventional Ones

This is an excerpt:

"As these data show, the level of tobacco-specific nitrosamines present in electronic cigarettes is at the trace level. It is measurable in parts per trillion (nanograms per gram). It is comparable to the nitrosamine levels in nicotine replacement products which are approved by the FDA.

In contrast, the level of tobacco-specific nitrosamines present in tobacco products are 300 to 1400 times higher. On a weight-for-weight basis, Marlboro has 1400 times higher the level of tobacco-specific nitrosamines than an electronic cigarette cartridge. And keep in mind that these represent the levels in the cartridges and cigarettes, not in the tobacco smoke or e-cigarette vapor which are directly inhaled. Because of the much higher temperatures generated in tobacco combustion compared to propylene glycol vaporization, the delivery of these carcinogens into the vapor is expected to be much lower than into the tobacco smoke."

Well, to an educated person (and even an uneducated one for that), inferring that e-cigs are much safer than regular cigarettes is a pretty obvious conclusion to reach. Any scientist would be insulted to have their data spun like that to paint a bad picture against cigarettes.

Unless cigarettes are actually that safe? My healthier lungs, whiter teeth, heightened senses of smell and taste, extra energy, and fresher breath must be from some deadly toxin that wasn't in cigarettes. It must be the PG. Oh wait, the FDA spent the past 20 years pushing its safety upon us, for foods, antifreeze, cosmetics, deodorant, tobacco, medications, and injections. I guess inhaling it must cause some terrible disease, and overall general health must be a symptom. (speaking from experience)

If you want to read the reports,
Health, Safety and E-Smoking - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat - read the stickies, and you should find the health reports.

I can't find the FDA report right now, but I'll edit this post when I do.
Read for yourself, don't take it from me or anyone else, definitely do your own research.
