Electronic Cigarettes: Why They Rave and Ramble About It

admin    Electronic Cigarette    

My friends who asked me why I have been raving and rambling about electronic cigarettes for so many months now have stopped shooting their questions when they saw me again in our quarterly get together last week. I guess it is obvious in my appearance that electronic cigarettes did work for me. Thus, when I started talking about e-cigarettes again, nobody contradicted. With their “forgotten” cigarettes on the ash trays, they listened attentively to every word that I said.

So yeah, I was raving about it again but this time I’m sure everybody’s all ears. I know there are detractors in the group but they didn’t dare run me down anyways. They knew I have something to show for it and they cannot go against the screaming evidence. On the other hand, they have been laughing and bickering about me and my switch to electronic cigarettes for months now but until now they cannot show concrete evidence of their claims that vaping is bad to health as well; they’ve never even tried it.

I told them the so many reasons why electronic cigarettes are becoming more and more popular each day. First, it actually offers some kind of relief to tobacco cigarette smokers. The truth is, many of these smokers wanted to quit but they are just too dependent to nicotine that they found it hard to do so. Electronic cigarettes however helped them slow down on their addiction because it allowed them to regulate their nicotine intake and even quit their bad habit altogether.

Second, who wouldn’t want to continue smoking without smelling like one? I mean, been there, done that. Was I glad to be able to breathe completely inside my own house for once. I don’t smell the stale tobacco in my own mouth, I don’t smell them in my clothes, not even on my furniture! It seems like I am a totally different person. I like the fact that I don’t have to deal with cigarette butts anymore. It totally rocks!

Third, I can vape practically anywhere. Nobody would dare argue about me emitting second-hand smoke because I’m not. I think this is the best reason why smokers should switch to electronic cigarettes. Doing so would definitely make them a more responsible individual – to other people, to the environment, and to themselves. The fact that you are not emitting hazardous and toxic second hand smoke anymore makes you somewhat like a health-advocate, caring for those who surrounds you; it makes you feel like a better person.

I guess it’s not a surprising why I rave about electronic cigarettes whenever I get the chance.

E-Cigarette Testing to Stop All the Whining

My friend Jenna is one of the best examples of e-cigarette protesters and whiners that we have in our society today. As much as I love my friend, I am really getting sick listening to her whine against e-cigarettes and it bad effects. She’s closed to any explanation (whoever is brave enough to give her one) that vaping has got more positive effects than smoking so if there’s something that should be banned, it should be tobacco cigarettes and not electronic cigarettes.

She however doesn’t really disagree to the idea of banning both products as she never really liked smoking though she did try it once in her life. What she wanted to happen now however is that e-cigarette manufacturers and health advocates and organizations get together and fund further testing and studies on the alleged positive effects and benefits of electronic cigarettes.

She further commented that if these e-cigarette manufacturers are really confident about their products, they would be the first to do a massive and publicized testing of its efficacy. How they go about it is up to them too as long as they show the public and the many protesting politicians that: 1. Electronic cigarettes don’t contain carcinogens and more than 4000 toxins that can be found in tobacco cigarettes, 2. There is no health hazard and side effects to vaping, 3. They are not encouraging kids to use electronic cigarettes at an early age, and 4. Electronic cigarettes are no doubt the best way to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes and stop nicotine addiction.

I told my friend there must be some uncontrollable factors that are stopping e-cigarette manufacturers from carrying on such test. For instance, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States of America wouldn’t agree or consent further testing and studies to and for electronic cigarettes and until they do so, e-cigarettes manufacturers can really do nothing about a test. And so they cannot provide any conclusive evidence that electronic cigarettes are manufactured for the betterment of the smoking society

My friend thought about it for a while and finally concurred with my argument. She said these politicians and so-called health advocates should just stop yapping about it and start doing something about it like get an approval for a formal testing and study. My friend even confessed that she’s truly tired of her own whingeing as well (at least she knows herself, huh). It’s actually a matter of acting on the issue and not whining about it.

Alternative quit smoking methods

Smokers use many different products to help them through quitting their habit. However, more alternative methods have become popular as people look for new ways to help beat the withdrawal effects of smoking.

These methods include things like hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy attributes smoking to a problem with the mind and therefore looks at breaking down mental barriers.

The hypnotherapist will put the smoker into a deep trance and through a series of suggestive techniques; the aim is to break through the smoking wall so that the smoker is free from the constant feeling of needing a cigarette. One smoker said, “I really recommend hypnotherapy. I have been a smoker for over ten years and could never be strong enough to stop the habit. With the hypnotherapy sessions, which lasted the course of two months, I gradually began to feel like I
regained control of my health and my mind. Nicotine no longer ruled it.”

Other alternative methods include acupuncture. This is the process of unblocking energy points through the body, such as on the back or wrists, by using long, thin needles. The thought behind this is that smoking is a habit which is clogging up the smoker’s body, and should be freed so that the energy can flow once again. It sees smoking as an “illness” which can be cured by unclogging it.

One smoker who has tried this technique said, “Me and my husband tried this method. It worked for me but not for him. I think it really does depend on the individual. He went on to try nicotine replacement methods which worked a lot better for him, such as the electronic cigarette. The e cigarette meant that he was gradually weaning himself off of the nicotine and he found it a much easier process to endure. For me, acupuncture helped me to feel like smoking didn’t reign my body and it put me back in control. I think each and every smoker has their own battle.”
