Are E-Cigarettes Safe and Heathier than Smoking?

Whether you call them e-cigarettes, e-cigs or the whole process vaping, the basic tech behind it is the same – it is a way for smokers to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes.  There’s a huge amount of debate about the topic now but the central questions for most people considering using them as a stop-smoking aid are simple.  Are they safe and are they heathier than smoking?

The health question

Let’s start with the second question – is using e-cigs safer than smoking?  While there is still some debate around the world, several key facts have been highlighted that are almost universally agreed upon:

1. People die from the tar in cigarettes rather than the nicotine
2. There are 5000 chemicals in cigarette smoke, of which 70 are carcinogens (cause cancer) and e-cigarettes don’t create tobacco smoke
3. E-cigarette liquid contain only a few simple ingredients, one of which is usually nicotine which is the addictive substance in tobacco cigarettes

So while the question of whether e-cigs are safe is still not conclusively answered, there is plenty of evidence that shows the risks using these cigarettes is much lower than the risks from smoking tobacco cigarettes.

Are e-cigarettes safe?

The other question is whether this tech is safe – there always seem to be horror stories about exploding e-cigarettes and other such frightening tales.  Of course, any piece of technology can malfunction but as tech fans know, if you buy good quality gear, the chance of this kind of thing happening is greatly reduce.
