E-cigarettes have been on the market for over a decade, but unfortunately they have not yet caught on in the US and many other countries around the world. Even though e-cigarettes have contributed greatly to the reduction of smoking and changed the lives of smokers around the world, many people are still in the dark about the benefits of e-cigarettes .
Misguided politicians and anti -vaping groups continue to spread scaremongering about the dangers of e-cigarettes, completely ignoring their benefits. While the rumors about the long-term effects of e-cigarettes are unfounded, there is overwhelming evidence that vaping is having a positive impact on the world.
1. Promote battery technology development
In just a decade, the rechargeable battery market has seen a steady increase in new, more advanced products. This is largely due to the continued demand for small, powerful batteries for e-cigarettes.
Vapers have created a market for 181060 batteries, a new type of small rechargeable battery that looks like the largest AA battery. They store more energy than regular batteries and have become the main power source for e-cigarettes.
Before the 181060 battery and vape appeared, this type of rechargeable battery was expensive but not powerful and was not widely used. Nowadays, many high-tech electronic devices use 181060 batteries.
Lithium ion batteries designed specifically for a particular product type such as phones and laptops are still the most common rechargeable batteries, but this may change in the near future. As the demand for universal rechargeable batteries continues to grow, we can expect to see more and better modern batteries along with the electronic devices that use them.
2. A united community helps smokers quit smoking
One of the most important functions of the vaping community is also one that is often overlooked by the media. The vaping community serves as a great support system for smokers and vapers who are trying to overcome the bondage of cigarettes and nicotine.
Many people don’t get the physical and emotional support they need from smoking cessation hotlines and advice from doctors and the CDC, so they turn to local or online vaping communities.
The vaping forums and vaping communities in the region are made up of people from different locations and backgrounds, most of whom are former smokers who understand the difficulty of quitting. They are very tolerant and sympathetic to those going through similar struggles, regardless of where they are or what method they used to quit.
The vaping community’s support for smokers is incredibly appealing because it’s personal, understanding, and not overly judgmental. Vapers support smokers in choosing their own path to quitting, and there are plenty of experienced vapers willing to share their experiences and advice if needed.
3. Introduce tobacco harm reduction language
Perhaps the greatest thing that e-cigarettes have done for the world is to transform the concept of harm reduction for tobacco control policy. Tobacco harm reduction is an approach to health policy that emphasizes minimizing the negative effects of harmful behaviors rather than eliminating them.
In the United States and many other countries around the world, public health policies on tobacco harm have focused on reducing smoking through abstinence. They have often discouraged smoking reduction and focused on quitting once and for all, with governments measuring the success of their programs by counting how many people are able to quit nicotine altogether.
However, e-cigarettes represent a new style of smoking cessation that emphasizes nicotine replacement and safer methods than smoking. Many agencies, such as the FDA, have begun to add or consider policies that focus less on quitting altogether and encourage people to use smokeless products to improve their lives.
Thanks to e-cigarettes and the support of other vapers in the community, more smokers around the world are finding hope. And now that e-cigarettes have become a new part of tobacco harm reduction, smokers will have more resources and support from doctors and public health programs.
