Whether you’re a vaper or not, you’re probably aware of the controversy surrounding vaping and e-cigarettes . As with any new product, especially from the tobacco industry, e-cigarettes have been criticized for being worse than smoking traditional cigarettes.
As a result, the accusations and negative thoughts surrounding it cannot obscure the truth; we want to clear up four things we hear about vaping :
First: E-cigarette essential oils contain antifreeze
This is one of the most ridiculous misconceptions about e-cigarettes, we must understand: no reputable company puts antifreeze in their products. The truth of the matter is, e-liquids contain propylene glycol ; this is a common ingredient in various foods and even medicines. The products found in antifreeze are in fact not the same ethylene glycol!
Second: Vape device causes fire
It is true that vape devices have heating elements and if not used properly, like any electronic device, they can catch fire. However, if you follow the instructions, do not charge the battery for longer than the recommended time and avoid overheating the vape device, the risk of fire or explosion is definitely not possible!
The cigarette itself actually contains a flame, and therefore the risk of causing a fire can be many times higher.
Third: Vaping is more addictive than regular smoking
We can’t disagree with this much. Although both cigarettes and e-cigarettes contain nicotine , with a cigarette the nicotine level is constant while with e-cigarettes you can use e-liquids that contain different amounts of nicotine – from 0mg to 18mg.
The idea of vaping is to gradually reduce your nicotine levels until you are vaping completely nicotine-free. The vapers varied needs to gradually reduce the nicotine levels at their own pace, giving their body a chance to get used to it and therefore giving the user a much higher chance of quitting.
People tend to associate vaping with all the different e-liquids and therefore may assume it is addictive, however this is absolutely not due to the nicotine!
Fourth: Vaping contains the same harmful effects as cigarette smoke.
We ignore this - simply because it is not true!
While cigarettes release carcinogens into the air for those who inhale them, vaping is simply water vapor. Cigarettes contain toxins like tar, cyanide, arsenic, and even rat poison. So it's not without reason that people compare cigarettes to "death sticks"...
The essential oil contains nicotine, but it does not contain other toxic substances and carcinogens like in every cigarette.
From our simple experience, the negative connotations surrounding vaping are simply untrue - so don't listen to the lies! If you're a smoker looking for a healthy alternative, vaping is the perfect alternative.
