			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Warnings issued by big tobacco and big pharma about the dangers of propylene glycol are not grounded in scientific reality or backed by scientific research. After a study in mice at the University of Chicago&#8217;s Billings Hospital in 1942, it was thought that propylene glycol when inhaled might cause such diseases as pneumonia and other illnesses affecting the respiratory system. To determine long term effects followup studies on money and other animals were conducted. This larger study produced results that showed no ill effects from propylene glycol in the lungs.</p>
<p>In a newly discovered zeal to protect the health of hte public, tobacco companies and the FDA shout &#8220;danger&#8221; when discussing propylene glycol. It&#8217;s an interesting strategy as PG has been proven safe and accepted by the FDA for years. The warnings ignore the elephant in the room. E-cigarettes are safer than tobacco. Almost anything you inhale is safer than smoking tobacco.</p>
<p>In e-cigarettes propylene glycol is used to dilute the nicotine and provide a solution that can be vaporized and deliver nicotine to the e-smoker. PG is a commonly used food additive and is the substance used in fog machines. It also appears on the label of ingredients of many of the food products we routinely buy.</p>
<p>The warnings of the dangers of PG do not come from researchers, doctors or scientific journals. Online sites issuing warnings are full of anecdotal (and seemingly imaginary) stories and are blogs often devoted to conspiracy theories. Several comments contain the statement that &#8220;propylene glycol is antifreeze&#8221;. Well, no, it isn&#8217;t. That would be ethylene glycol. Natural healing sites and anti-smoking groups are also quick to talk about potential danger of the use of PG.</p>
<p>A fantastic amount of information can be found online but it&#8217;s important to know who you are listening when accepting information as fact. Baby wipes contain PG and it&#8217;s difficult to imagine the FDA making claims that a product freely allowed for use on infants is now unsafe for adults. The PG delivered to the user by the best electronic cigarettes is minimal. Some e-liquid suppliers use glycerol as a base for their nicotine solution rather than propylene glycol.</p>
<p>Consumers are smart to closely examine ingredients in the products they eat or inhale. We have all become more educated about food additives that may cause problems even as they add healthy color. We know to check for a variety of terms when looking for low sugar product as sucrose, fructose and various &#8220;syrups&#8221; are alternate names for sugar.</p>
<p>The saccharin scare thirty years ago is a valuable example of the folly of acting on incomplete information and drawing incorrect conclusions. The FDA banned saccharine which was a very popular sweetener used as an additive in many packaged foods and. The FDA stated saccharin had caused cancer in mice and panic ensued. Companies lost a lot of money in changing the ingredients in their products and the public tossed out boxes of Sweet and Low which was a popular saccharin product.</p>
<p>To induce cancer in mice who ingested saccharin researchers had provided extremely high doses of the ingredient. The scientific &#8220;proof&#8221; offered by the FDA was rejected by the scientific community. The affected mice were given a daily dose of saccharin that could only be ingested by a human drinking 400 cans of diet cola a day for many months. Saccharin is totally available to the marketplace today.</p>
<p>Propylene glycol is a necessary ingredient for delivery of e-cig vapor. There is no evidence ths PG causes any danger to electronic smokers despite the efforts of tobacco companies worried about the competition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first statements about safety concerns of electronic cigarettes were issued by the FDA in a way that suggested a government agency bowing to pressure exerted by big tobacco. For the FDA to mention banning a product before testing had been conducted is not the way that government agency usually conducts its business.</p>
<p>The danger of using tobacco has been scientifically documented for more than forty years. That is when warnings first appeared on cigarette packs advising users of the danger posed by smoking cigarettes. The warning language used in the U.S. is some of the weakest required in the world and only last year did the FDA decide to begin regulating tobacco products. Regulations applied to a single industry have the effect of making it harder for competitors to gain a foothold in the market. For this reason alone tobacco companies claimed to welcome new oversight by the FDA.</p>
<p>After various expressions of concern, the FDA banned importation of e-cigarette supplies from China. The ban was imposed in 2009 affecting the world&#8217;s biggest exporter of e-cig supplies. When announcing the ban, the FDA claimed concern that underage users would be tempted by flavored e-liquids and become addicted to nicotine. No proof or studies were offered as evidence for this concern.</p>
<p>In a decision handed down by a Federal Judge on January 15, 2010, the FDA was ordered to lift the import ban that affected electronic cigarettes. The FDA was criticized for aggressive efforts focused on turning a recreational product into one designated as a device or drug that could then be regulated out of existence.</p>
<p>The new tobacco division created last year within the FDA was formed to perform the new FDA duties of regulating the contents and marketing claims of tobacco products. The court stated the same legislation that created oversight of tobacco products would also apply to the alternative electronic cigarettes.</p>
<p>Responding to the court decision brought a charge from the FDA about &#8220;health issues&#8221; surrounding e-cigarettes. It appears the youth argument didn&#8217;t sway the court so a new &#8220;reason&#8221; was presented. Tobacco companies stand firmly behind the FDA efforts to eliminate electronic cigarettes. What could be better than to have a government agency strike down your competition?</p>
<p>Allowing the FDA to set standards and restrictions on e-cigs that are not a requirement for tobacco would create an unfair market. There would be a significant increase in the cost of e-cigarettes which would benefit tobacco producers who can&#8217;t compete with the low cost of electronic alternatives.</p>
<p>The court decision defined a need to scrutinize the relationships that exist between tobacco companies, pharmaceutical concerns and the FDA. Taxes from the sales of tobacco products put billions of dollars in federal and state government coffers annually. Many of the attempts to create fear of electronic smoking alternatives seem to be more concerned with the financial bottom line than with the protection of public health the FDA is charged with. Had big tobacco been the industry that introduced and promoted electronic cigarettes it is doubtful a controversy would exist.</p>
<p>The unusual steps taken by the FDA have created their own controversy about the focus of this government agency. The FDA has never proposed banning tobacco products to protect the health of the public. Traditionally, the FDA issues statements and warnings and takes action only after conducting full scientific testing. In the case of the FDA vs electronic cigarette manufacturers, the FDA has ignored testing to develop standards and instead has focused on finding reasons to ban a product that is arguably safer than the product it may eventually replace.</p>
<p>Mary Kay Rivers is an acclaimed expert on all facets of e-cigarettes. Her publications <a href="http://bestecigarette.com/13">the history of e-cigarettes</a> and about the <a href="http://bestecigarette.com/0">best electronic cigarette</a> are well-known.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Consumers are often surprised when they learn how the mechanism of ane-cigarette works. The word &#8220;electronic&#8221; may give the impression of a complex system that must learned before use. That is far from the truth.</p>
<p>No educational degree is required to sample an e-cig. The best e-cigarettes are simple and easy for any buyer to use. There are two requirements involved in technological development. First is the technical aspect of creating a new product that fills a need or completes a task. The second requirement is equally important but seldom mentioned. Technology must also provide a good user experience for those who purchase the new product. The best electronic cigarettes are well developed products and extremely user friendly.</p>
<p>An excellent example of development that results in a user friendly product is the electronic cigarette. The circuitry in the atomizer and battery components of e-cigs combine to form a smoking experience that is simple and satisfying for those choosing a tobacco alternative.</p>
<p>There are two parts for most electronic cigarettes. The first is an atomizer and the second is a battery section. Both a long and short battery is included in most starter kits. One battery can be on the battery charger that is included while the second can be in use. Initial use of the e-cigarette requires charging the battery for 2-3 hours.</p>
<p>Assembling the e-cigarette requires only screwing the atomizer onto a battery and you are ready to smoke. How hard is that? There are no little bags full of small parts to put together. Charge the battery, screw the two parts together and inhale the vapor. That&#8217;s all there is to it.</p>
<p>Inside the atomizer (also called the mouthpiece) is a cup fill with material that absorbs the e-liquid in refillable e-cigarettes. A pre-filled cartridge may replace the need to add e-liquid in the best e-cigs where the mouthpiece is unscrewed and replaced with a fresh cartridge as needed. Vapor is produced by a small heating element in the atomizer activated by the battery when the user inhales.</p>
<p>Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are commonly used. The frequency of use of your electronic cigarette, the size of the battery and the quality of the e-cig will determine the life of the battery. An LED light at the tip of the battery was originally added to replicate the image of a burning cigarette tip. Originally orange or red for realism, the LED lights on models today can be almost any color you choose.</p>
<p>The best electronic cigarettes are automatic and produce vapor when the user draws air through the mouth piece. The air flow activates the heating element which results in e-liquid in the mouthpiece producing a vapor. A small button on manual e-cigarettes is pushed by the user each time he wants to vaporize the solution. Manual models are not as popular with buyers as the automatic versions. To smoke electronically, the user takes a puff, the heating element is activated, vapor is produced and the user inhales. It&#8217;s the same principle as smoking tobacco products where drawing on a cigarette increases the fire and provides smoke to inhale. The principle may be the same but inhaling a vapor mist does not carry the health hazards of inhaling noxious smoke from tobacco.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Debate on the safety of electronic cigarettes has been raging since the product&#8217;s introduction in 2003. Many of the arguments are incorrect information disseminated by the FDA with the help of big tobacco and big pharma.</p>
<p>In response to the heated debate, electronic cigarette suppliers recently formed a trade association to provide factual information about e-cigs to the buying public. Tobacco companies want to eliminate competition from electronic cigarettes and have followed an agenda of issuing warnings about e-cig dangers that have no basis in fact. The FDA conducted a very limited test of a few hand chosen e-cigarettes and then pronounced the products were not safe because trace amounts of a dangerous chemical were found in some of the products tested.</p>
<p>The FDA did not conduct followup testing or test to see if the same chemical was present in tobacco product. Although the statements made by the FDA were not factually incorrect they were also not scientifically proven but were conclusions based on a flawed example.</p>
<p>Consumers who wonder if electronic cigarettes are safe should consider that e-cigs contain 20 ingredients while tobacco cigarettes have 599 ingredients. When smoking tobacco you inhale more than 4000 chemical compounds. Claims are made that the additives in tobacco have been proven safe as food additives by the FDA. That is true as far as it goes. Those additives have not been tested for safety when burned and inhaled. Burning changes the chemical elements of some ingredients.</p>
<p>Association with smoking tobacco lays a mantle of guilt by association on nicotine. Studies over the years clearly show smoking tobacco can cause various types of cancer and increase the risk of heart disease. Tobacco smoke is also believed to decrease natural immunity in some users leaving them vulnerable to colds, bronchitis and pneumonia.</p>
<p>The properties of nicotine itself to not promote cancer in healthy tissue and nicotine has no mutagenic properties when separated from tobacco. There is no evidence that long term use of nicotine is detrimental to health. Nicotine is the reason we become addicted to tobacco. It is the fix we want when we light a cigarette yet it is not nicotine that damages our health.</p>
<p>Consumers have been using nicotine replacement gums, lozenges and patches for many year now with no apparent ill effects. Initially, nicotine patches were only available by prescription but as time passed it was clear the product posed no danger to the health of the public. Today you can buy all of those stop smoking aids freely at your local drug store.</p>
<p>The Royal College of Physicians states they do not suspect any adverse health effects to result from long term nicotine use. The best electronic cigarettes provide nicotine in a measured delivery that insures the safety of the e-smoker. Understanding that nicotine is the catalyst for smokers leads to understanding the need to provide nicotine in a way that avoids the risks taken when smoking tobacco.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you finally decide it is time to stop smoking, there are some natural aids that may help you to quit smoking naturally. These aids may help you to quit without facing all the agony of tobacco withdrawal. They may make you a little easier to live with during the process.</p>
<p>Some herbal remedies for depression also seem to help as you try to stop smoking. St. John&#8217;s wort is one such remedy. It seems more effective at helping persons through the initial period than at helping them to remain tobacco free. For long term quitting it takes determination on the part of the smoker.</p>
<p>Ginseng also seems to have some effect as smokers attempt to quit. This herb inhibits the release of dopamine which is normally released by nicotine. While more studies need to be made on this herb, it seems to work in the same manner as one of the more effective prescription medications to help smokers quit.</p>
<p>Acupuncture has also been shown to be effective as an aid in stopping the habit. When acupuncture is performed and the smokers are educated in stopping smoking, the treatment is much more effective.</p>
<p>For some smokers, hypnosis has proven to be a effective aid in stopping smoking. This method does not include the use of drugs.</p>
<p>Still others are able to stop smoking simply by sheer will power. They make up their mind and stop. This can be a difficult method of stopping smoking, but in actuality proves just as effective as most of the other methods. Use of the herbs and acupuncture may help with the withdrawal symptoms; however, the real key to stopping seems to be coming to resolve within you to stop.</p>
<p>For more help, visit with you naturalist or physician. They can give suggestions that will help ease the pain of stopping smoking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For many smokers the hardest part of stopping smoking is to make the commitment to stop. But once you have made that commitment, the next most important thing to do is to choose a method that will work for you. Read on to find out what the 6 best ways to quit smoking are and then choose one.</p>
<p>The first way that many smokers use when they decide to quit is to go cold turkey. Some find it better to just completely get rid of the cigarettes and put up with the cravings. But for many smokers, those nicotine cravings make it next to impossible to quit successfully for any extended period of time.</p>
<p>On the other end of the spectrum is aversion therapy. With aversion therapy you force yourself to smoke one cigarette after another for a few days. This is chain smoking to the extreme. Think burning tongue and throat, heavy chest, and ashtray mouth. If you can get yourself to shudder with the thought of smoking more cigarettes, aversion therapy is doing its job. Just keep smoking for awhile longer and you will be on the way to quitting.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be reluctant to use a nicotine replacement product if you can&#8217;t stand the cravings that come with smoking cessation. It&#8217;s better to use one of the many products that are on the market, then to keep smoking</p>
<p>These nicotine replacement products do the trick for many smokers. By slowly releasing a small amount of nicotine into your body, you avoid suffering from cravings, which make quitting possible. Nicotine products range from gum, to lozenges, to the patch. All work effectively.</p>
<p>Nicotine replacement products aren&#8217;t for everyone. Some prefer something more natural. A good alternative is an herbal smoking cessation product. Herbal cigarettes satisfy the desire to smoke without the nicotine dependence. There are even herbs which can help you get over the symptoms of stopping smoking.</p>
<p>Hypnosis has been effective in helping some smokers to quit smoking. When it works it often takes only a session or two. It uses the power of suggestion to alter how you think about smoking and get rid of your desire to smoke.</p>
<p>If you feel that you need a stronger smoking cessation product you will have to make an appointment with your doctor. There are many effective stop smoking pills and injections that are only available with a prescription.</p>
<p>Consider hooking up with another smoker and quit smoking together. It can make it so much easier to quit when you have ongoing support. And if you can&#8217;t find a quitting buddy, there are many support groups to help you quit and stay smoke free.</p>
<p>Smoking cessation will not be the easiest thing you will ever do. But with 7 of the best ways to quit smoking to choose from, hopefully you will find one that will work for you.</p>
<p>Quitting is hard. But not quitting is even harder in many ways. Visit <a href="http://stopsmoking-tips.com/">stopsmoking-tips.com</a> for tips on stopping. Find out the two biggest <a href="http://stopsmoking-tips.com/Quitting-Smoking-Benefits.html">quitting smoking benefits</a> that can be yours if you quit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Electric vaporizers are special machines that can be utilized to activate solutions to the heat level when they are transformed into a gas. Electric cigarettes are tobacco only vaporizer machines which nicotine users can employ in lieu of combustion cigarettes that necessitate igniting plant matter. Vaporizing is considered a better alternative to combustion cigarettes because the procedure involves zero open flame.</p>
<p>When a smoker breaths in a combustion cigarette or pipe they consume the smoke from the entire plant. This means while using cigarettes to get the impact of nicotine smokers are at the same time ingesting many types of compounds.</p>
<p>There are hundreds of different components contained in tobacco, many provide no benefit. The issue is that the act of combustion vaporizes every chemical present in tobacco leaves, as opposed to just the wanted ones such as nicotine.</p>
<p>Each chemical found in the tobacco plant has a precise vaporization point, a point when it changes into a gas and can be consumed. Electronic cigarettes function by heating nicotine solutions to points when nicotine molecules are changed into vapor. Combustion stimulates every chemical and vaporizer machines heat merely selected ones.</p>
<p>So that using an electronic cigarette is close to a regular smoke there are specially designed mixtures to utilize with them. These solutions are comprised of the compound nicotine and other compounds that supply sensations similar to standard tobacco products although without all the risk.</p>
<p>There are people who have utilized e-cigarettes as a method to stop their tobacco habit completely. Electronic cigarette liquids are not just sold in a number of flavors but different concentrations also. When slowly decreasing the nicotine ratios in the fluids tobacco users can gradually reduce their tobacco addiction over an extended period of time. Exploration is being conducted to find out the performance of e-cigarettes to end smoking tobacco.</p>
<p>Additional research is being conducted to establish the healthiest technique to operate electronic cigarettes. In the case that you are considering using an electric cigarette you should find out about the many choices so you can make the appropriate decision about what design to utilize.</p>
<p>You should do yourself a favor and explore <a href="http://buysmokelesselectroniccigarette.com/smokeless-cigarettes/">electronic cigarettes</a>. They are healthier than normal smokes and include some other benefits like cost. Find out about the many <a href="http://buysmokelesselectroniccigarette.com/">electronic tobacco vaporizer</a> models being offered.</p>
