Electronic Smokes:fda Cancer Health Risk
Electronic smokes are on the forefront of people's minds. What are the actual health risks of electronic smokes?
A year ago, the FDA put out a statement stating that the liquid that contains the nicotine in electronic smokes has a chemical in it that is found in antifreeze. Saying something like that tends to freak people out. Let me share some additional insight with you.
The chemical that the FDA is referring to is DEG (diethylene glycol). This chemical is found in many products that we use everyday. This includes lotion, skin cream, deodorants, artificial fog (smoke machines that firefighters train in), printing ink, glue, antifreeze, brake fluid.
DEG is also found in tobacco cigarettes.
Tobacco cigarettes also contain over 4000 toxins. 50 of these chemicals are known to cause cancer.
The ingredient DEG is in the currently FDA approved NRT's.(nicotine inhalers) So why are they not making a big fuss about these having the same chemical that is also in antifreeze?
Electrical cigarettes do not contain tar, arsenic, carbon monoxide or hydrogen cyanide. Tobacco smokes have all of these and many more.
Tax money from tobacco products are the governments most reliable source of income. In times like these, the government can not afford for the mass population to quit smoking.
After using electronic smokes for a week, I completely stopped smoking. Many other people have shared in my same experience. The tightness in my chest was noticeable lessened after a few days. Since I was still getting my nicotine, I didn't have any desire to fill my chest up with all those extra poisons.
These are not advertised as stop smoking aids even though a large majority of users do quit. Electronic smokes are meant to be a safer, cleaner alternative to the traditional poison filled tobacco cigarettes.
