Are E-cigs even healthy?

Have you ever wondered if E-cigs are really healthier than cigarettes? E-cigs are still fairly new to the public and most people are still trying to figure out how they feel about them. Well if you are still wondering you've come to the right place. Lets start by talking about what is actually consumed by the user when using either. In e-cigs, you use something called e-juice. E-juice is primarily made with 3 ingredients: Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, and flavorings. All of these ingredients have been approved as safe for human consumption by the FDA and pose no real threat if used as intended. The only possible bad ingredient in e-juice is nicotine and its only dangerous when used incorrectly. For example, if you add too much to your e-juice mixture or somehow end up ingesting it. That rarely happens though, as most e-juice makers are well aware of the dangers of nicotine poisoning. When nicotine free e-juice is heated up in an e-cig, the user inhales water vapor and the flavoring, which is much more pleasant and easier on the throat than nasty tasting smoke. When exhaled, its the same thing coming out, so you don't have to worry about the idea of second hand smoke. With that being said, that's no excuse for you to start vaping anywhere you want, still try to be courteous to other around you. The common mistake people make about e-cig vapor is that they think its still smoke. Well, its not. Smoke is something that is produced when something is combusted, usually with a flame. In e-cigs there is no flame, therefore no smoke can be produced. E-cigs utilize electricity to heat up coils wrapped around e-juice soaked wicks. The end product is water vapor with flavorings in it, which cause you and the people around you less discomfort when in the presence of it. In cigarettes, the user consumes chemically saturated tobacco, that when burned produces actual smoke. That smoke has more than 200 chemicals all meant to increase and accelerate your nicotine high and to get you hooked on them. Some of the chemicals in cigarettes like Arsenic and Ammonia are very harmful to your body and are very carcinogenic.

Don't believe me? Next time you pick up a pack of cigarettes, look around the box for the surgeon generals warning. It clearly states that cigarettes cause cancer, yet little to no people actually pay attention to that. As if that wasn't bad enough, cigarettes also harm the environment by polluting the air that you and I breathe. Who wants to smell and inhale that nasty secondhand smoke? I know I don't. That's just my opinion though, you can take it upon yourself to decide. When you do decide, just make sure to take some of these thoughts into consideration.
