People dont tend to think about the effects of smoking because the effects dont show till years later in life. Smoking causes second hand smoke to those around you and over the years it has caused a lot of damage to the environment.These effects have become a bigger topic in the United States recently causing more and more peopke to want to stop smoking. Scientise have created a new type of smoking device that can help you quit smoking because you can control the amount of nicotine you get out of each puff. It's called an E-cigarette. It's a simple device that works just like a normal cigarette but only contains as much nicotine as you want it to. Being able to control the amount has helped several people quit smoking completely over time. Due to the ability to stop causing second hand smoke and help save the environment, all on top of the change to quit smokeing, has caused thousands of people to put out their tobacco filled cigarettes and pick up and safer and healthier E-cigarette. E-cigarette can help second hand smoke because there is no nicotine smoke getting blown at you or around you. Second hand smoke is just the same as actually smoking a cigarette. "As expected, the toxic substances found in the cigarette smoke far outweighed the traces found in e-cigarette vapor. More than 20 volatile organic o compounds were detected in cigarette smoke; traof six of these elements were found in the electronic cigarette vapor. Once exhaled, the E-cigarette vapor was found to contain miniscule amount of nicotine and flavoring. The primary compound detected in the exhaled vapor was propylene glycol, which is present in many of the foods we eat has been deemed safe by the FDA," (v2cigs)."Despite being the first of its kind, this study proves what proponents of the electronic cigarette industry have been saying for years: second-hand vapor is not harmful. It is doubtful that these findings will have much of an impact on prominent anti-smoking groups, but it is certainly a step in the right direction.Despite being the first of its kind, this study proves what proponents of the electronic cigarette industry have been saying for years: second-hand vapor is not harmful.
