Better Alternative To Smokers

Do you know that there is better alternative to smokers? Yes, you can actually stop your nicotine addiction altogether with this new product.

Some time ago I actually blogged about how to report errant smokers via WhatsApp which goes to show how disgusted I am with people who smoke a cigarette in public spaces such as eatery and restaurants. I am not advocating people to smoke, however for those who find it difficult to stop altogether, electronic cigarettes will be the best alternative for them and everyone around them! If you really need more reliable health-related news, head over to Rolling Paper right now.

In fact, more and more tobacco companies are ramping up their research and development to create an alternative to the much-maligned traditional cigarette. The best part is such a smoke-free alternative can potentially cut down the risk of smokers developing smoking-related ailments. If more smokers switched to electronic cigarettes, then we could dramatically reduce tobacco smoking which is polluting our air. Win-win!

Difference between cigarettes and heated tobacco products

Recently, I came across this term of heated tobacco products. And it means that it heats the tobacco instead of burning it. Yes! It has been designed to intelligently heat the tobacco at the right temperature range of not more than 300℃ to release the nicotine. However, when tobacco is burned, its temperature will peak at 800℃. Since no burning is involved, there is no combustion that will result in the creation of ash and smoke which annoy us and harm our health.

The more reading I did, the more information I gained. Research has shown that by using a heated tobacco product, harmful chemicals released can be reduced by a staggering 95% compared to the traditional cigarette smoke! So no second-hand smoke anymore! Yay! What an eye-opening difference right? Essentially it means that exposure to harmful chemicals can be drastically reduced as well for smokers and of course non-smokers!

I believe it is important for me to point out that nicotine is not the main cause of smoke-related diseases like lung cancer and heart diseases. They are actually caused by inhalation of harmful compounds, mainly coming from the smoke when tobacco is burned.

Again, I hereby reiterate that I do not in any way promote smoking. It is always best to quit tobacco and nicotine altogether. However, it is undeniable that tobacco addiction might be difficult to overcome which is evident in our country with 21% of the population are smokers.
