Nowadays there is no any proof that electronic cigarettes are helpful in fighting smoking craving and they must not be utilized by youngsters as mainly because they are still offering nicotine, a research by the Italian Health Ministry announced a few days ago. E-cigarettes have rising in popularity and U.S.
The Health Ministry survey, cautioned that this “vogue gadget” must not be utilized by teenagers simply because, even if smaller amounts of nicotine are breathe in this manner, there are still significant prospective health risks. The review also brought up the worry that the use of this device could lead teenagers switch from this gadget to regular cigarettes.
A group of electronic cigarette manufacturers claimed that the device is expected to support people who already smoke. The e-cigarette is generaly an electronic inhaler composed of a plastic cartridge, a battery, a tank for a flavored liquid and an “atomizer” that vaporizes the liquid. Some of the flavored solutions possess nicotine. It generates a smoke-like vapor that imitates the act of cigarette smoking and when inhaled produces the nicotine.
Roberta Pacifici, director of Italy Observatory on Smoking, Alcohol and Drug Use, who has been working on the review, stated, “We can state that the e-cigarette is less harmful, but we cannot really claim that it is totally innocent.” “We need to have a smart tactic towards this product as we know hardly anything of how toxic it is,” she stated. She admited that despite the fact that there are diverse strengths of nicotine in the liquids offered the specific volume of nicotine in an e-cigarette is lower than in a regular cigarette.
Legislation regarding e-cigarette and its sales differs all over the world since the e-cigarette was launched on the market about 10 years ago. A reasonably limited range of scientific checks and handled experiments are available as the product is a comparatively new creation. Pacifici also stated, “Should its effectiveness as a method to reduce smoking be confirmed it should still be handled as all the other alternative nicotine products as nicotine gum.” At this point the main notifications are against the sale of e-cigs to under-16 year olds and the suggestion to keep the product away from children.
Electronic cigs, an increasingly popular new option among smokers trying to quit, do not appear to pose a threat to the heart, according to results of a clinical research presented on Saturday. Greek scientists declared that electronic cigarettes – battery-powered metal tubes that transform liquid laced with nicotine into vapor – had no adverse effects on cardiac function in their small trial. “Electronic cigarettes are not a healthy habit but they are a safer smoking alternative to tobacco smoking,” Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos from the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens told the annual conference of the European Society of Cardiology.
New study findings released today show new insight into the use and awareness of electronic cigs, devices that permit smokers to inhale vaporized nicotine. According to a peer-reviewed scientific posts in the American Journal of Public Health, 40.2 per cent of Americans have heard of e-cigarette and over 70 per cent believe that they are less dangerous than other tobacco products. In addition, smokers are more apt to use electronic cigarettes than non-smokers. This is the first nationally representative study to look at awareness and influence of these products.
