Are E-Cigarettes Safe?

Smoking leads to one thing and one thing only: Poor health.

Smoking cigarettes has been shown to impact all the body’s major systems – cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive – and lead to many forms of cancer. Smoking causes one in five deaths in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). With this in mind, there is a strong push to quit (or there should be).

There are numerous ways you can quit smoking, from therapy to hypnosis to wearing a nicotine patch. But one means of quitting smoking that’s on the rise is simply switching one evil for another. We’re referring to e-cigarettes, and as their popularity grows among smokers and non-smokers alike, the negative health effects of these devices continue to come to light.

Largest consumers of e-cigarettes reportedly are the United Kingdom, with 2.6 million users of e-cigarettes. Nearly half a million of them switched from regular tobacco use. Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) reported that 22 percent of e-cigarette users say that switching from tobacco to e-cigarettes is a way to quit the habit.

Further studies, however, are starting to show that users who switch aren’t quitting at all. Worse still, e-cigarettes now pose their own health risks which are nearly as bad as tobacco smoking. E-cigarettes have become another trendy bad habit for kids, teens and adults.
