Ecigs are believed to be linked to many mouth area cancers. In long term it haven't been verified, but other studies give quite good reason to believe that ecigs aren't harmless, and why to take the risk? Cause they are still healthier than cigs? If you wanna be healthy, don't just trade greater evil for lesser evil, quit both:thumbs up:
Many friends say they aren't addicted to smokes anymore. They have been smoking ecigs for years now. So they are still smoking, sucking a ridiculous stick, but now they only are smug about it.
I used nicotine pills for a week when I quit smoking. Within two weeks I had stopped using them all together. I was free and happy. Also Allen Cars book was great help in realising how stupid smoking is, and you really don't get anything from it. An same principles goes for ecigs. They give you nothing, and it looks ridicilous.
We don't live in fifties, where smoke is marketed mystical, sexy or cool. It's sad, stinks, looks stupid and smokers look grey and sick. People who say thinks like "it's just a habbit, it relaxes, it helps boredom" etc. are delusional. They are affected by slowly growing drug addiction and brainwash. Brainwash, like scenens in movies where dying man just want's one cigarette.
Smoking relaxes smoker, cause his level of nicotine has reduced, and by smoking he can feel "normal" for a while, a.k.a "relaxed". Breaking a habbit doesn't cause symptoms. You are bored are equally bored with smoke than you are with out. If the action reduces boredom, then why to lit the cigarette? Smoking is like putting on two small shoes on, just for relief you get when taking them off for a while. Smoking does relieve the addiction for a while, but every smoke begins the cycle again. Smoking doesn't reduce the addiction, it causes it.
We should help smokers to be free from addiction, not to hate them. They are victims, and goverment and health organisations have chosen wrong way to help. They offer only critique and low self-esteem. And the help they offer "you can save this and this much" or "smoking is unhealthy" is pretty obvious. Everybody knows it, and it's not helping. It causes only more stress, and smokers try reduce their allready high stress level by smoking more. We should educate people about the way how the addiction works, help people to understand WHY they smoke, instead of repeating why they SHOULDN'T smoke. If you like smoke, buy small portable smoke machine or go suck exhaust fumes. First looks stupid, second is unhealthy. Smokes and e cigs are both. Quitting smoking may be difficult, but there are easier and kinder ways out.
