In the modern world, street stands, anti-tobacco advertising, and even cigarette packs themselves warn about the dangers of smoking in their modern world with frightening inscriptions. Even though tobacco companies are constantly innovating, such as a special charcoal filter that traps tar and poisons, or light and super light cigarettes, most non-smokers clearly understand that this is nothing more than a marketing move to calm the tobacco user . Many experiments have proved that super light cigarettes and a variety of carbon filters are less dangerous to health only in theory. Alas, all the innovations are just an advertising move aimed at not losing consumers who are accustomed to tobacco smoke.
Are electronic cigarettes, nicotine sweets and
chewing plaques?
Almost every smoker sooner or later tries to quit smoking. It should be noted that nicotine addiction is not so terrible as psychological .. It is completely possible that the sponsors of companies producing nicotine sweets, chewing wafers and various nicotine patches are the same tobacco companies. After all, in fact, what is the difference to sell nicotine in a cigarette or, for example, in a chewing plate, and maybe ordinary candies in a bright anti-tobacco wrapper. The most important thing is the result - ringing of coins in the pockets of manufacturers. So there were electronic cigarettes. To the question: “Is it harmful to smoke electronic cigarettes?”, Their manufacturers answer that, of course: “No!”
Are electronic cigarettes harmful?
An electronic cigarette is inherently an inhaler that is powered by a micro battery, it generates energy, thanks to which, when inhaled, a liquid with nicotine is supplied in the form of smoke imitation, similar in taste to an ordinary cigarette. The liquid is in a replaceable cartridge; when used, it is possible to regulate the doses of nicotine or completely exclude its supply.
I would like to specifically figure out if electronic cigarettes are harmful to smoke? When nicotine is absent in the cartridge of an electronic cigarette, it is completely harmless and does not pose any danger to the human body. What can not be said with full confidence about a cigarette with a full cartridge. The thing is that an electronic cigarette is an uncertified product, therefore, it is impossible to say with accuracy about its harm or benefit. Certification denotes strict standards for the content of certain hazardous substances. Electronic cigarettes were tested by specialists, but did not pass the full tests and tests of the World Health Organization. And since there is no definite answer to the main question posed by us, I would like to consider all the positive and negative sides of this device.

1. Having quit smoking regular tobacco, the habit and psychological dependence will not disappear anywhere, only the subject will change, on which the person will still depend.
