Is e-cigarette safer than a regular cigarette?
E -cig is greener and safer than a regular cigarette. Cigarette smoke produced by burning contains over 900 toxins. Processing tobacco plants – from germinating through growing, processing and packaging – adds another 90 plus toxic chemicals. Commercial cigarette paper is impregnated with opium for addictive purposes and the tobacco is treated with many chemical additives for taste, flavor, aroma and softness that become cancerous when burned. When you puff on an e-cig you avoid all these chemicals plus there is no carbon monoxide and no second hand smoke. Smoking causes loss of smell and taste. For some people it is permanent. Some e-cig smokers who switched from a regular cigarette claim that they noticed a return of the sense of smell and better taste of foods within months, which is an advantage as well. E-cig has not been approved by FDA as a healthier alternative to smoking.
