"Most of the harm associated with smoking is not related to nicotine, but to the method of entering the body - through smoke. It is like if people preferred to smoke tea leaves instead of brewing them in hot water. For most serious researchers, the huge potential of electronic cigarettes in this planner is already clear today."

"Nicotine is the second most popular drug, immediately after caffeine. Surprisingly, no one calls caffeine dangerous - because it is not dangerous. Nicotine itself is not dangerous, tobacco is dangerous, and its smoking. Nicotine does not cause cancer in its pure form."

"Tobacco is a poisonous plant containing, in addition to nicotine, nicotine is not poison, but a neurotransmitter, the harm of nicotine is that, when causing an addiction, it forces the smoker to use these 400 substances along with combustion products.

answer

Electronic cigarettes are almost as harmful as ordinary. After all, the main striking factor in smoking is nicotine. And the passive smoking when using these Divines is the same, if not worse: the pairs of nicotine fall into exhausted air and, and unnoticed by others, unlike real cigarettes.
It remains hoping that in America they will quickly deal with this issue. Not like we have ...
answer
"The main striking smoking factor is nicotine" - this is not so, it is a myth. The most dangerous in a cigarette is tobacco combustion products. About 4,000 harmful substances, including carcinogens, are contained in tobacco smoke - the keywords of “tobacco” and “smoke”. Neither one nor the other in electronic cigarettes. By itself - not as a component of tobacco smoke - nicotine is not a carcinogen or mutagen. And with electronic cigarettes it does not happen and technically cannot be passive smoking. Passive smoking is not harmful due to nicotine, which Second Hand Smoke contains minimal quantities. As well as tobacco smoke, passive smoking is dangerous due to tobacco combustion products - the same 4,000 harmful chemicals, of which 60 are carcinogens. Since nothing burns in an electronic cigarette, there is no passive smoking from it and cannot be.
It’s probably too early to say that it is completely safe - after all, nicotine is inhaled in the lungs and this is definitely not the most useful activity - but the arguments you have given are not true
answer
Alas, this is not a myth. In small concentrations (a regular cigarette when smoking leads to about 1 mg of nicotine to enter the body) nicotine acts excitingly. With multiple use, microdosis (tobacco -curving, in particular), it is nicotine that causes physical and mental dependence. According to the American cardiac association, "nicotine dependence is historically one of those dependencies that the most difficult to fight."
Long-term use of nicotine (on animals in pure form) often leads to cardiovascular diseases, such as arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis, tachycardia, arrhythmia, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, heart failure and myocardial infarction. In addition, with the use of nicotine for a long time, a disease such as impotence (erectile dysfunction), as well as type 2 diabetes, can develop.
Nicotine causes not only addiction among smokers, but also prevents the renewal of neurons in the brain.
You, of course, are right - in tobacco smoke contains a lot of any muck, from from C to carcinogenic 20 -methylholateral. And carcinogens of tobacco smoke resins really lead to a sharp increase in the frequency of oncological diseases, which usually frighten beginner smokers. But smoking, and in the smallest quantities, much more often and almost certainly leads to cardiovascular diseases, which seem to be not so terrible, but from which they still die, more often than from cancer.
Here are the curious data on this subject: in Scotland they were banned for smoking in public places. Jill Pell with sotr. Analyzed data on hospitalization regarding acute coronary syndrome (ACS; OKS - any group of clinical signs or symptoms that allow you to suspect an acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris) in 9 clinics of Scotland from June 2005 to March 2006, when the law on the ban on smoking entered into force and during the 10 -month period of the next year. In the compared periods of time, the number of hospitalizations decreased from 3235 to 2684. In other words, the ban on smoking in public places in Scotland led to a decrease in the number of hospitalizations for the ACS by 17%. In previous years, a decrease in the frequency of hospitalization did not exceed 3%. The reduction in the number of hospitals for the OCS amounted to 14% of the smokers, 19% - among former smokers and 21% - in people who have never been smoked. Persons who have never been smoked reported a reduction in the weekly duration of the effects of tobacco smoke, which was confirmed by a decrease in the average concentration of Kotinin - nicotine metabolite, from 0.68 to 0.56 ng/ml. (N English J Med 2008; 359: 482-491).
answer
With this - that nicotine causes dependence and is not very useful for the heart - of course I agree. Pure truth. But you said that he was the main evil in cigarettes, I objected precisely against such a question. Summarizing: there is nothing useful in electronic cigarettes, it would be stupid to argue with it. But if you compare them with ordinary cigarettes, then this is heaven and earth. The minimum on the issue of clogging of the lungs and an increase in the chance to get evil cancer in some right organ.
answer
Dear Ivan, so why are they smoked? Because nicotine is addicted. It doesn’t matter because: due to the fact that it excites or due to the fact that at the initial stage of the disease increases the concentration of testosterone in the blood of men (and this is listed as nicotine), or for other reasons. And the electronic cigarette is just one of the ways of familiarization with nicotine drug addiction. This is a child of scientific and technological progress should be pressed in the cradle until it got on the legs.
Forgive me my old people boring.
answer
I categorically disagree with you here. It is necessary not to crush him, but to welcome and erect monuments cast iron to its inventors. I am an avid smoker. I have been smoking for more than 12 years and quite a lot, sometimes two packs per day. More precisely - smoked. Now I completely switched to electronic cigarettes and is absolutely happy. And I feel better, and there is no disgusting smell, continuous advantages. Your position, if I understand correctly, it refers to those who do not smoke. Of course, they should not start electronic cigarettes. But for those who already smoke, this is the salvation and gift of God.
answer
Dear Ivan, in the past, I myself have an avid smoker, for more than 20 years I was fond of a very thawing occupation, smoked 1.5-2 or more packs of cigarettes a day. I was able to quit smoking a year before very large medical problems that I smoked for myself. Thanks to the art of our doctors, he survived. Since then I have not smoked for 14 years.
To quit smoking extremely simply, you need a great desire and 1-2 weeks relatively free time in order to survive a sharp moment. You need to throw it right away, no gradual steps usually lead to success. It is also necessary that the first time is not smoked around you. The first 6-8 months, it is necessary to carefully monitor your health, since during this period rather serious vascular complications can develop.
True, it must be noticed that the first 6-8 years I “smoked” during sleep and woke up after that in a bad mood, that I had broken. Then it passed.
answer
Myth: Everyone can quit smoking.
Fact: Russia is in the first place in the world in terms of growth of smoking.
Today in Russia 40,000,000 smokers. It is clear that some people want to smoke, and that further improvements in the field of public health care requires recognition of this reality and that new innovative products need to be taken into account, which are less dangerous than smoking cigarettes and more effective than abstinence.
