Some medical findings of a local survey about electronic cigarettes have shown that the technology can help smokers kick the habit. Doctors reported that many regular tobacco smokers who used e-cigarettes were able to quit tobacco smoking within two months.

Based on the study results, 6% of smokers quit smoking after 2 weeks, with 52% of smokers are reported to have both increased levels of energy and visible improvement in their physical appearance. When asked if an e-cigarette could act as an agent to overcome all the physical and psychological challenges to quit tobacco smoking, all doctors said that e-cigarette is the most effective treatment.

Contrary to the opinion of American Lung Association that electronic cigarettes are designed as a ploy to encourage people to smoke regular cigarettes, the reason that the e-cigarette is designed to look like a cigarette is not to try to increase the social consciousness to tobacco smoking, but a device to allow successful smoking cessation. The e-cigarette inventor understands that cigarette smoking is far more than simply a pharmacologic addiction to nicotine.

Tests found that e-cigarettes were very safe relative to tobacco, and also safe in proportional measurements. As electronic cigarette vaporizes for each puff, very small quantities of nicotine dissolved in propylene glycol, two small well-known molecules with excellent safety profiles, will turn into a fine aerosol. Each puff contains one third to one half the nicotine in a tobacco cigarette’s puff. The cartridge liquid is tobacco-free and no combustion at all.

The products are marketed as a healthier option because they do not contain tar, tobacco, or carbon monoxide and other components which cause cancer and heart disease. The Electronic Cigarette Association indicates that electronic cigarettes even reduce the risk of illness and death to under one percent of the risk posed by tobacco cigarettes which are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths per year in the US.
