Smoking Vs Vaping – A Steve Barret Video
There are a huge amount of myths that exist about the e-cigarette industry and for those looking to get into vaping, and away from smoking tobacco products. It can often be difficult to distinguish between what is a myth and what is factually correct and scientifically proven.
Those who seek to criticize the e-cigarette industry often say that vaping is a gateway for young people to abuse tobacco cigarettes. The reality could not be further from the truth, according to a University of Oklahoma Health Science Center study of 1,300 college students which found e-cigarettes were not a gateway for young people to abuse cigarettes.
Another criticism surrounding the e-cigarette is that second hand vapor from e-cigarette devices is toxic, yet e-cigarettes are not a source of second hand exposure to combustion toxicants, unlike tobacco cigarettes which have a highly documented second hand exposure fatality rate. This was the conclusion of a study run by the Oxford Journal called ‘Second Hand Exposure to Vapours from Electronic Cigarettes’.
A myth that is widely circulated is that vaping is not an effective method to help quit cigarette smoking. However, according to a global survey of 19,000 consumers run by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, e-cigarettes are largely used to avoid the harm associated with smoking cigarettes and can even be effective in highly-dependent smokers.
