<p>The way in which electronic cigarettes work is surprisingly simple. We may think of complex systems when the word &#8220;electronic&#8221; is mentioned but in the case of e-cigarettes there is nothing complicated to worry about.</p>
<p>This is a simple product to use and required no special training or higher education to understand. Technological development has two faces when it&#8217;s done well. The first is the technical aspects of creating a product that fills a need or solves a problem in a new and unusual way. The second face of development is creating technology that provides a friendly user experience.</p>
<p>E-cigarettes are a good example of a well designed product that provides a good user experience. E-cigs are a simple system combined with advanced design. When you use your e-cig you don&#8217;t have to be concerned about the circuitry or the heating element as they work without effort from you.</p>
<p>There are two parts used in most electronic cigarettes. These are the battery and the atomizer. Charging the battery for 2-3 hours before initial use of a new cigarette is required. After that one battery can be on the charger which is included in the starter kit while the other battery is in use. Starter kits for the best electronic cigarettes contain one short and one longer batter similar to regular and king sized cigarettes.</p>
<p>Putting together your new e-cig does not involve a plastic bags fill with tiny parts to assemble. You only need to take the atomizer and screw on the charged battery and you are ready to go. That&#8217;s not so hard, is it?</p>
<p>The atomizer is the mouthpiece and the terms are used interchangeably. A small cup inside holds absorbent material saturated with a flavored nicotine solution. Other models come with cartridges pre-filled with e-liquid and are disposed of and replaced as needed. A small heating element located in the atomizer is activated by the battery producing a vapor mist for the smoker to inhale.</p>
<p>Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are commonly used. The frequency of use of your electronic cigarette, the size of the battery and the quality of the e-cig will determine the life of the battery. An LED light at the tip of the battery was originally added to replicate the image of a burning cigarette tip. Originally orange or red for realism, the LED lights on models today can be almost any color you choose.</p>
<p>The best electronic cigarettes are automatic and produce vapor when the user draws (puffs) on the mouthpiece. The movement of air through the e-cig activates the heating coil powered by the battery and the result is vapor released by the heating of the nicotine laced e-liquid. As you can see, the electronic cigarette operates on the same principle as a tobacco smoke. With tobacco products, drawing air through the cigarette increases the heat of the fire at the tip and creates smoke. The difference lies in the health benefit of inhaling a vapor mist that quickly dissipates while avoiding the chemical compounds of toxic tobacco smoke.</p>

<p>Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) may occur when bronchitis and emphysema co-exist. Shortness of breath due to a narrowing of the airways is the primary symptom of COPD. This disease cannot be reversed and symptoms progress in severity over time. Those who suffer from asthma may display the same symptoms but the narrowed airways are reversible for those afflicted with asthma attacks.</p>
<p>Smoking is the leading cause of COPD. An inflammatory response in the lungs is triggered when particles and noxious gases are inhaled with cigarette smoke. In the airways, the response is diagnosed as chronic bronchitis. Emphysema is inflammation tht affects the alveoli of the lung with a inflammation that destroys tissues.</p>
<p>Symptoms of COPD can worsen suddenly and result in an acute episode where the patient is struggling to breathe. Acute attacks may be triggered by inflections in the body or pollutants in the air. Tests to diagnose COPD will measure the volume of air inhaled by the patient as well as the speed of the air entering and leaving the airways as the person inhales and exhales.</p>
<p>Those who suffer from COPD require long term oxygen therapy. We&#8217;ve all noticed people in public who are carrying an oxygen pack or pulling a cart with an oxygen tank to help them breathe.</p>
<p>Although COPD is not curable there are ways to manage the disease and slow the advance of symptoms. The goal is to prevent acute attacks and provide as normal a life as possible for a patient with COPD. The primary strategy to managing COPD is for the patient to stop smoking tobacco. In addition, vaccinations may be recommended and patients may undergo rehabilitation and use inhalers as drug therapy to control symptoms.</p>
<p>Highly addicted tobacco smokers often ignore medical advice to stop smoking after receiving a diagnosis of COPD. They may believe they can&#8217;t quit but more often they feel it&#8217;s too late to quit as the damage to their lungs has been done. It is sad to see a person irrevocably linked to a tank of oxygen while inhaling yet more toxic tobacco smoke.</p>
<p>Sessions of breathing steam are part of the rehabilitation treatment for COPD. The steam increases the flow through the airways of the patient and provides at least temporary relief. Participating in rehabilitation is not always effective for those who continue to smoke two or three packs of cigarettes a day. The best electronic cigarettes now provide a real alternative for those who suffer from COPD. Many of these smokers are addicted not only to tobacco but to the total physical activity of smoking. Patches and gums do not fill the psychological need for a person whose habit includes the act of holding a cigarette, of taking draws on a cigarette and inhaling.</p>
<p>Highly addicted smokers suffering from COPD find e-cigarettes to be a real alternative for them. The lack of toxic smoke allows them to gain greater benefit from rehabilitation and steam therapy. E-cigs allow the smoker to inhale a vapor that tastes and feels like cigarette smoke without inhaling the harmful chemicals of burning tobacco. The popularity of e-cigs for this sector of society has grown rapidly. Patients report an increase in their quality of life and some even claim the steam vapor produce by e-cigarettes is helpful as a steam therapy. Until scientific studies are conducted, proof of advantages of the vapor are only anecdotal. it may be that simply stopping the inhalation of the additives in tobacco smoke is responsible for the improvement in patients.</p>

<p>The electronic cigarette industry created the Electronic Cigarette Association to focus on answering questions about e-cigs and providing accurate information about the products. Launched in 2009, the ECA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and funded by donations and members. The purpose of the ECA is to speak for the e-cig industry as a whole.</p>
<p>The ECA hopes to provide a collective voice for the industry and electronic cigarettes organizations and providers. This mission is pursued by dispensing truthful information and providing tools needed to the media, policy makers and leaders of public opinion throughout the country. This trade association intends to institute industry-wide standards and a code of conduct with the goal of educating the public and reassuring legislators about the use of e-cigs.</p>
<p>Powerful lobbyists of big tobacco and large pharmaceutical firms have attacked e-cigarettes from the time the products were introduced in 2003. Pressure from these highly financed lobbies resulted in the FDA conducting a very limited and unscientific study of e-cigs and issuing a caution about their use.. The Electronic Cigarette Association aims to combat the push to ban the products. Results of the FDA testing found a trace amount of a risky compound but did not compare that result with a similar test for the compound in tobacco products. The big corporations realized in 2003 that the electronic versions could damage their profits and they have been applying pressure for a ban since then.</p>
<p>Presenting the e-cig as a safe and cheaper alternative to tobacco products is the goal of the ECA. Users are encouraged to share their e-cig stories and the public is urged to contact their Congressional representatives.</p>
<p>When a new and innovative product is introduced it is not unusual for competitors to spread false information. Although smoking tobacco products was accepted by our society for decades the serious health consequences of smoking have only been proven in the past few years. It was common for smoking to be linked to sophisticated lifestyles with an emphasis on macho men and glamorous women with tobacco smoke curling from their fingers.</p>
<p>The big tobacco trials revealed information about the number of additives and compounds in tobacco products that had previously been industry secrets. The risk to health is now clearly established and proven and has led to intolerance for smokers in our society.</p>
<p>Some large companies are at risk of losing a large block of their customers with the alternative of electronic cigarettes now available. Lost customers are lost profits and those industries have done everything to profit their profit shares. Those who condemn e-cigs out of greed are joined by some legislators who want all smoking banned. Whether motivated by greed or health concerns, both groups have disseminated false information regarding electronic cigarettes.</p>
<p>It has been forty years since the U.S. Surgeon General publicly declared the health hazards of smoking tobacco. In that 40 years the FDA has never suggested banning tobacco products or even regulating the ingredients until last year. Yet the FDA has been actively looking for ways to ban or regulate electronic cigarettes since their introduction to the market.</p>

<p>Warnings issued by big tobacco and big pharma about the dangers of propylene glycol are not grounded in scientific reality or backed by scientific research. After a study in mice at the University of Chicago&#8217;s Billings Hospital in 1942, it was thought that propylene glycol when inhaled might cause such diseases as pneumonia and other illnesses affecting the respiratory system. To determine long term effects followup studies on money and other animals were conducted. This larger study produced results that showed no ill effects from propylene glycol in the lungs.</p>
<p>The FDA and tobacco companies were quick to cry &#8220;danger&#8217; and point to an ingredient that has been judged safe to use for many years. There is primary truth that is totally ignored in the warnings. We know smoking almost anything is safer than smoking tobacco.</p>
<p>In e-cigarettes propylene glycol is used to dilute the nicotine and provide a solution that can be vaporized and deliver nicotine to the e-smoker. PG is a commonly used food additive and is the substance used in fog machines. It also appears on the label of ingredients of many of the food products we routinely buy.</p>
<p>Warnings about propylene glycol are not coming from the scientific community, doctors, researchers, scientific journals or nutritionists. Searching online you&#8217;ll notice the warnings about PG appear on the blogs of anti-smoking groups, sites of conspiracy theorists and natural healing sites. On several blogs the dire warning of &#8220;you are breathing antifreeze&#8221; may point out those who flunked organic chemistry. The ethylene glycol in antifreeze is not the same thing.</p>
<p>A tremendous amount of information can be found on the internet but it&#8217;s important to know who you are listening to. PG is used in baby wipes and even the FDA is unlikely to approve a dangerous product for use on infants. The best electronic cigarettes deliver only a very small amount of PG to the e-smoker. Some e-liquids use glycerol rather than PG as a base but propylene glycol is the most used ingredient in e-liquid solutions.</p>
<p>Consumers are smart to closely examine ingredients in the products they eat or inhale. We have all become more educated about food additives that may cause problems even as they add healthy color. We know to check for a variety of terms when looking for low sugar product as sucrose, fructose and various &#8220;syrups&#8221; are alternate names for sugar.</p>
<p>The saccharin scare thirty years ago is a valuable example of the folly of acting on incomplete information and drawing incorrect conclusions. The FDA banned saccharine which was a very popular sweetener used as an additive in many packaged foods and. The FDA stated saccharin had caused cancer in mice and panic ensued. Companies lost a lot of money in changing the ingredients in their products and the public tossed out boxes of Sweet and Low which was a popular saccharin product.</p>
<p>What the FDA didn&#8217;t tell the public was that the research did not apply to people. The mice had been given huge doses of saccharin daily. Adjusting the amount to that needed for a person to develop cancer would require the person to consume at least 400 cans of diet cola every day for months. Today, saccharin is once again fully available for sale to the public.</p>
<p>Propylene glycol is a necessary ingredient for delivery of e-cig vapor. There is no evidence ths PG causes any danger to electronic smokers despite the efforts of tobacco companies worried about the competition.</p>

<p>The electronic cigarette gadget is wildly popular with users. The products were first introduced in 2003 and offer an alternative smoking experience to those addicted to tobacco. Smokers like the ability to have their nicotine fix without the expense and health risks associated with tobacco.</p>
<p>You can smoke the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes for about $2 when using e-cigs. That&#8217;s quite a bit better than the five to ten dollar cost of a pack of tobacco cigarettes. The electronic cigarette is a nicotine delivery system providing smokers with the&#8221;fix&#8221; they want without the necessity of inhaling toxic chemicals of tobacco products. You can choose the best e-cigarette gadget available and still spend less than you will for tobacco products.</p>
<p>Technological advances made the development of electronic cigarettes possible. The e-cigarette gadget is composed of an atomizer and a battery component. Screwed together the two portions look like a ball point pen or a cigarette depending on the brand you choose. Other models provide alternative smoking experiences for pipes, cigars and there is even a hookah electronic model available.</p>
<p>The mouthpiece may be round like a cigarette or may be shaped like the plastic tip on a small cigar. The small cup inside the mouthpiece is filled with absorbent material that is saturated with e-liquid. The liquid is a solution of nicotine and flavor, usually in a propylene glycol base, that may taste like regular or menthol tobacco products. Other flavors are available for those with adventurous tastes.</p>
<p>E-liquid is used to refill the cup in the mouthpiece by dripping the liquid from a small bottle. The bottle of solution is only two inches high yet one bottle is roughly equivalent to the nicotine in five cartons of tobacco cigarettes.</p>
<p>A battery is the second component of the e-cigarette gadget. This is the bottom section of an electronic cigarette. Early products routinely added a red or orange LED light at the tip of the battery section to give the impression of a burning cigarette. Now manufacturers provide a variety of color options and you can choose your favorite color for the LED &#8220;fire&#8221;.</p>
<p>Two batteries are usually included in starter packs for the best electronic cigarettes. This allows the customer to use one battery for smoking while the other is recharging. The most popular e-cig products are automatic versions but there are some manual models that require the user to press a button to release vapor for inhaling.</p>
<p>When the smoker draws on the mouthpiece, this gadget for smokers activates a small heating element that vaporizes the nicotine solution into a mist the user inhales. Better electronic cigarettes complete this process quickly and automatically to provide a realistic smoking experience.</p>
<p>The replaceable cartridge electronic cigarette is very popular with buyers. The disposable mouthpiece ends the need for messy e-liquids and cleaning is never needed. One cartridge is the equivalent of one pack of tobacco cigarettes. Changing cartridges is no more complicated than opening a pack of cigarettes.</p>

<p>A well used ashtray was a prominent feature on every office desk twenty or thirty years ago. Ten years ago there might be a non smoking sign displayed on the wall but the supervisor would quickly produce an ashtray from his desk drawer for any visitor asking to smoke and would close the office door and indulge in a smoke himself on occasion. Today a request to smoke in a place of business would expose you to a sharp &#8220;no&#8221; and critical looks from those around you.</p>
<p>You may still find some break rooms offered by large company where smoking and non-smoking sections coexist. Government employees have long been required to leave the building before lighting up. A small group of employees getting a nicotine &#8220;fix&#8221; is often noticed by those entering a building. Workplaces that are not polluted with second hand smoke are cleaner and smell better. Another benefit is the reduction in fire hazard when burning tobacco products aren&#8217;t permitted.</p>
<p>Most smokers no longer complain when they are required to leave the building to smoke. They often find the need to defend themselves against non-smokers who complain even when workers are smoking out of doors. This has led businesses to establish outdoor smoking areas with seating and protection from the sun. These areas are often a feature of businesses with sufficient outdoor space to permit separating the smoking area from the business entrance.</p>
<p>There is a financial downside for business where employees frequently leave their work stations to smoke. There is no one to answer the phone or answer a question, no work is being done and additional work time is lost when the worker returns to his desk and has to refocus on where he was on a project before going for a smoke. Business leaders have offered clinics, free nicotine replacement products and even cash awards to those employees who quit smoking. More dictatorial bosses have refused to hire smokers and have made non-smoking a condition of continued employment.</p>
<p>After spending tens of thousands of dollars on stop smoking programs, employers are left with a small group of smokers who have no interest in quitting. Allowing electronic cigarettes at the workplace could provide a solution for employers in years to come. Continuing to conduct stop smoking sessions is not a good use of resources if the remaining group of smoking employees shows no inclination to abandon their tobacco habit.</p>
<p>People around you are not affected or harmed in any way by the vapor of an electronic cigarette. The ceilings and walls do not become coated with the tar residue of tobacco and rooms are not filled with foul odors. Smokers can fill their need for nicotine without leaving their work space. Nicotine gums, lozenges and patches have one thing in common. They are invisible to those around you. It will be necessary to overcome negative reactions from those opposed to any type of smoking when requests to add electronic cigarettes to the workplace are made by employees.</p>
<p>The cigarette shaped e-cig is the most common design but the mouthpiece may also be purchased shaped like the plastic tip on a small cigar. Designs often replicate the tobacco cigarette closely. That alone can cause a negative reaction when adding electronic cigarettes to the office is proposed. Some anti-smokers are against use of anything that resembles the use of tobacco in any way.</p>
<p>The benefits of using e-cigarettes as a tobacco alternative are becoming more widely known and understood. The popularity of the products is exploding and it&#8217;s very possible that only a few years in the future e-cigarettes will be totally accepted in the office.</p>

<p>Many smokers have chosen electronic cigarettes as a new lifestyle product that is both healthier and environmentally responsible. Streamlined and easy to use, the best e-cigarettes are rapidly gaining acceptance by the smoking public. The lack of odor and messy ashtrays and the ability to ingest nicotine without offending those around you are prime benefits. The health benefits to non-smokers who have been exposed to second hand smoke for decades is huge.</p>
<p>The warnings on U.S. cigarette packs, according to David Hammond of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, are among the weakest in the world. The first warnings were added to packs in 1984 mentioning only major diseases associated with smoking and have had few changes since that time.</p>
<p>Smoking was socially acceptable activity for generations. It implied an image of sophistication, maturity and style through advertising campaigns. We were told independent women smoke Virginia Slims but no one mentioned that the Marlboro man died of lung cancer. The public has learned more about the dangers of smoking tobacco and about the chemicals ingested each time they inhale.</p>
<p>E-smoking provides the nicotine boost tobacco smokers crave without the associated stench left on clothing and furniture and provides the boost in a way that is socially acceptable. E-cigs are readily available for sale and provide a variety of flavor and nicotine strength without breathing in toxic substances.</p>
<p>A list resulting from reports by the major cigarette manufacturers such as R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and Philip Morris reveals the U.S. Department of Health lists 599 additives present in cigarettes. It&#8217;s true that many of the additives have been well tested and approved as food additives. However, they were tested and approved as additives ingested orally. They have not been tested for changes or risks that occur when the additive is burned and inhaled. Chemical properties change during the burning process and 4,000 chemical compounds are released from one burning cigarette.</p>
<p>Public attitudes toward tobacco have been greatly influenced by the recent focus of society on healthier lifestyles and living in an environmentally friendly way. The health benefits of regular exercise is not conducive to smoking tobacco an hour later. Choosing organic and unprocessed foods for a nutritious diet makes little sense if your meal is followed by inhalation of hundreds of chemical additives and toxins.</p>
<p>Big tobacco and big pharma were quick to attack electronic cigarettes when they were introduced in 2003. Lobbyists for the powerful firms spent millions pressuring Congress and the FDA to ban or strictly regulate e-cigs. The strength of the tobacco and pharma lobbies led to the FDA bowing to pressure and issuing a statement regarding potential yet vague hazards of e-cigarettes.</p>
<p>Tobacco smokers are arriving at their own conclusions. The weight of evidence pointing to serious health risks combined with the high cost of the products due to recent tax increases has led many dedicated tobacco smokers to choose the alternative of e-cigs. For the first time smokers have found a new lifestyle product that will provide the pleasure of smoking without the risks and costs of tobacco.</p>
