It is always difficult to find new things to say about e-cigarettes. The internet is full of success stories from people who claim to have stopped smoking with the help of e-cigs. Sometimes the claims do not ring true. Are they working for an electronic cigarette company I wonder?
One thing is certain, and that is that no-one working on this site has any interest in an electronic cigarette company and as such we hope to provide impartial advice and and information, and of course if any new news emerges we hope to get it out to you as soon as possible.
We are always pleased when new studies are done in connection with the e-cig, and are constantly asking for more research to be undertaken, because we really do believe that electronic cigarettes are the future for smokers. We believe them to be safe, otherwise we wouldn’t be promoting them on this site.
The Electronic Cigarette Association feels the same way, and it is made up of a group of businesses who make and distribute e-cigarettes. They would like the e-cig to be known as “an alternative to a known killer”, in other words as an aid to quitting smoking. They definitely do not want them to be known mainly as an accessory for non-smokers and particularly children, or as a temporary substitute to tobacco in order to beat the smoking ban. However, although some health authorities do acknowledge that e-cigs have got to be better than the alternative, no-one will actually say they should be used as such, in other words like other nicotine replacement therapies. It is so frustrating.
We will feel we have achieved something when these great little devices are classed in a similar way as other smoking cessation products.
