Whether or not E Cigarettes can help someone quit smoking is really a sensitive topic, thanks to regulatory and medicinal law. I suppose the regulatory agencies monitoring this growing market intend to still leave it to the consumer to decide as many have already done by default—or at least this appears to be the case. The electronic cigarette usa is not a smoking cessation device but rather intended to be an alternative to smoking conventional tobacco-containing cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes are still fairly new to the market meaning research is still preliminary as far as its use as a tool to help with smoking cessation as it has not yet been technically proven. Despite this, we can without restraint highlight the many differences between conventional cigarettes and electronic cigarettes that are affirmed with attention specifically on harm reduction and nicotine levels.

Harm Reduction

Concluded to date is that E Cigarettes do reduce the harm and risk associated with conventional cigarettes, if anything, by their lack of tobacco. Conventional cigarettes are known to contain thousands of chemicals, ...
... tar and tobacco the latter of which has been and continues to be a major cause of serious diseases and deaths worldwide. E-Cigarettes reduce a smoker’s exposure to these substances thereby reducing risk associated with their consumption via normal cigarettes.

Not only is the smoker’s harm and risk lowered by use of an electronic cigarette usa but also everyone in the vicinity. Second-hand smoke has definitely played its role in the tobacco industry battles surrounding conventional cigarettes, and for just cause. The smoke given off by regular cigarettes contains the tobacco not found in E-Cigarettes. The harm reduction offered by the elimination of tobacco, in and of itself, definitely places E-Cigarettes as the lesser of the two evils.

Nicotine Levels

It is no secret that nicotine’s addictive properties are the major reason most smokers find it so difficult to quit. There may be a few smokers who continue for the social side of it but the majority of smokers are slaves to the nicotine contained in the cigarettes. Both regular and electric cigarettes contain nicotine but the advantage of E-Cigarettes is the ability to adjust nicotine levels to high, medium, low or none. Reiterating that the E Cigarette Usa has not yet been officially approved as a smoking cessation device, a smoker is able to gradually reduce the nicotine level in the refill cartridges until eventually reaching none. This could obviously be a huge part of a plan to stop smoking.
