Cigarette Facts:

Urea, a chemical compound that is a major component in urine, is used to add “flavor” to cigarettes.

Smoking harms not just the smoker, but also family members, coworkers, and others who breathe the smoker’s cigarette smoke, called second-hand smoke.

When you inhale, a cigarette burns at 700°C at the tip and around 60°C in the core. This heat breaks down the tobacco to produce various toxins.

Smoking accelerates the hardening and narrowing process in your arteries: it starts earlier and blood clots are two to four times more likely.

Smokers are more likely to get cancer than non-smokers. This is particularly true of lung cancer, throat cancer and mouth cancer, which hardly ever affect non-smokers.

Cigrette smoking causes heart attacks, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and cancer (particularly lung cancer, cancers of the larynx and mouth, and pancreatic cancer).

An estimated 700 million children, or almost half of the world’s children, breathe air polluted by tobacco smoke, particularly at home.

Switch To E-Cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes is the best alternative to standard cigarettes!

With electronic cigarettes, there will be no smoke odour. You will not have that typical smoker smell anymore. Your clothes will not have that smoke smell wherein most people despise. There will also be no odour in the surroundings near you. People wouldn’t complain if you smoke using electronic cigarettes. Perfect for those places where majority of the people are non smokers.

E-cigarettes can also save you money as they are cheaper than a pack of standard cigarettes. A pack of standard cigarette will cost you around $6 wherein a single cartridge of electronic cigarette will only cost you $2 and is equivalent to almost a pack of normal cigarette. Smokers normally spend around a thousand dollars for cigarettes. Start saving money by quitting to smoke normal cigarettes. Switching to electronic cigarettes is the best idea if you want to save money.

You do not have to worry about harming other people. E-cigarettes have no second hand smoke.  The smoke you see is actually water vapour. You can keep your loved ones and non smokers safe by using electronic cigarettes. Most establishments ban smoking however, some are allowing the use of electronic cigarettes. You have better freedom compared to traditional cigarettes. With electronic cigarettes, you do not have to worry about not being able to smoke.

Smoke at places whenever and wherever you want without having to go out of the area. Airports, restaurants and other public places wherein smoking is banned, you can safely puff and get that nicotine you are craving for without having to break the rules. Only electronic cigarettes can give you the nicotine you want in places like these.

Better health is another positive side of electronic cigarettes. Without the harmful chemicals that normal cigarettes posses, you will feel better and healthier.
