Basic Product Knowledge about Electronic Cigarette

Posted by An_247848

An electronic cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette or an e-cig, or it is known as an electrical inhaler. It is a substitute of traditional electronic cigarette. Electronic cigarette contains a propylene glycol or glycerin based liquid. The benefits or risks of electronic cigarette usage are a subject of uncertainty among health organizations and researchers. Limited studies are available due to their relatively recent invention. Laws governing the use and sale of electronic cigarettes, as well as the accompanying liquid solutions, vary widely, with pending legislation and ongoing debate in many regions.

Overall we can conclude E-cig is better than the normal Tobacco cigarette.

We have a wrong conception, we know that Cigarette contains nicotine and we believe that nicotine is the main effective product in a cigarette, but actually is not so. Nicotine is an addicted product. The main effective product is tar and that constitutes the tobacco cigarette. Electronic cigarette does not contain any tar.

Electronic Cigarette origins: - It was invented by Mr. Hok Lik, he was a Chinese pharmacist in 2004. In 2004 that device was fast introduced in China's domestic market as an aid for smoking replacement.

Components: - Mainly e-cig device has three components.

Â· A plastic cartridge that is used as a mouthpiece.
An atomizer that vaporize the liquid.
A battery

Cartridge: - The cartridge, a small plastic container with openings on each end, serves the dual purpose of a liquid reservoir and mouthpiece. It allows the passage of liquid to the atomizer and the vapor from the atomizer back to the user's mouth, without leaking liquid into the mouth.

Atomizer: - The atomizer is a piezoelectric ultrasound device that vaporizes the liquid, and it generally consists of a simple filament and wicking metal mesh to draw the liquid in.

Battery: - Battery is the warehouse of power. You can charge your Electronic cigarette via A/C outlet, car or USB.

This is the basic concept about Electronic cigarette. I got that information from Ecig69TM. For details please visit www.ecig69.com.Thanks

Hi Friends,

How are you all? Today I am discussing about the future of Electronic Cigarette, because we have to know about the E-Cigarette. Is this really growing up or its decreasing day by day? Why we should use this? Is this harmful of helpful? What is history of electronic cigarette? After that we will discuss the details.

1. We should look up to the history of Electronic Cigarette

Â· April 2006: Electronic cigarettes introduced to Europe.

Â· 2006-2007: Electronic Cigarette introduce to USA.

Â· March 2008: Turkey bans the Electronic Cigarette and they declare that "nicotine is the most dangerous element among 4,800 poisonous chemicals in cigarettes."

Â· September 2008: WHO (world Health Organization) considers electronic cigarettes safe and effective.

Â· October 2008: Health New Zealand conducts declare that Electronic Cigarette smoking is "safe alternative to smoking".

Â· October 2009: Amazon.com prohibits sale of electronic tobacco products on its website.

Â· March 2010: First VapefestTM is held in Richmond, VA.

Â· March 2010: Ministry of Public Health bans electronic cigarette and they declare the cigarettes contained more nicotine than normal ones.

Â· July 2010: Marine Corps Base in Quantico bans e-cigarette use in its facilities.

Â· August 2010: Air Force surgeon general's categorizes e-cigarettes as "tobacco products" and prohibits their use in most Air Force facilities.

Â· June 2011: First VapestockTM held in Clearwater Beach, FL.

Â· March 2012: Germany, Australia & Netherlands organize the first World Vaping Day, which takes place on March 22nd.

2. Recent Surveys Show the Popularity of electronic cigarettes just continues to grow.

Â· Its official, vaping is not a passing fad. Recent industry analysis has indicated that more and more people are trying — and liking — electronic cigarettes. The word is spreading, and the momentum is building. Approximately two and a half million people are now enjoying this smokeless alternative regularly, with their ranks growing all the time, according to a recent survey by Wells Fargo Securities.

3. Now I am giving a sound knowledge about Electronic Cigarette industries in all over the world.

Â· Recent estimates put the value of the e-cig industry at $300 million. Leading to the industry hitting the one billion dollar mark in the next few years.

Thanks
Jack Rider

Posted by Avadakadavra

I quit smoking 6 months ago. I used the nicoderm patch and it worked for me. When I was on the lowest dose patch I started to get redness and dry skin on my face and in my ears. Specifically on the sides of my nose, forehead, chin, and above my lip where the mustache grows and also a couple of places on my cheeks. The rash above my lips would burn and get irritated. The rest of my rash looked very much like the malar rash seen in lupus patients. Like a butterfly shape except it did not go over the bridge of my nose. The rash would get very scaly and peel constantly. The insides of my ears were doing this also. I thought it could be Seborrheic Dermatitis. I also got tested for lupus and it came back negative. So I bought some cream for psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis and it seemed to control the flakes and helped the redness somewhat. The only thing that made the redness go away completely was Cortisone cream. I could not keep using the cortisone cream and the Sebhorreic Dermatitis cream only controlled the flakes. The redness on my face makes me look sick and burns. The doctors did not know what it was and did not offer to send me to a dermatologist. The doctors said it almost looked like hives and gave me a prescription called Hydroxyzine that did not help at all. I also took benadrly that did nothing for it. My face would be so dry after the shower that I have to put cetaphil lotion on right away and I have never had to do this and I was only using cetaphil cleanser on my face to rule out some soap allergy. Has anyone else had this happen or know what it might be?

After trying to rule out everything. I started smoking again and after three days the redness is gone and I don't even have to put on lotion after the shower. My skin has gone back to normal.

The redness persisted for six months and I don't think it was going to go away. I was fighting it every day.

Anyone know why this side effect is happening?
