			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Satisfied e-smokers gather in online forums to discuss e-cigarette advantages and talk about the benefits of their favorite brand. The strength of refill solutions and the vapor volume and flavor are argued endlessly and the conversations continue whenever they meet another e-smoker.</p>
<p>When talking to a tobacco user, the electronic smoker will helpfully explain how e-cigarettes work and the importance of vapor volume and ease of use. Ads may be compelling but there is no better source of information about a product than the recommendation of someone who uses that product. Most people who use e-cigarettes today as an alternative to tobacco first learned about the best e-cigarette from an e-smoker.</p>
<p>The health benefits are obvious. Although the absolute safety of long term use of nicotine has not yet been ascertained there is presently no evidence to show it causes harm. Most smokers do not need convincing when it comes to the health benefits of e-cigarettes over the harmful effects of tobacco use.</p>
<p>When you consider the toxins contained in the smoke from burning tobacco and the additives in that smoke, the simple vapor produced by an electronic cigarette is clearly a healthier option. Myths spread by big tobacco in an attempt to harm the competition from electronic smoking products are easily disproven by facts.</p>
<p>The cilia of the throat become coated with the tars from tobacco smoke and are unable to clear the throat of mucous as they are designed to do by nature. Toxins in tobacco smoke are not only from the burning tobacco but from the hundreds of additives used by big tobacco in producing standard cigarettes. Toxic smoke sends chemical particles deep into the lungs leading to greatly increase risk of cancer, heart disease and serious respiratory diseases.</p>
<p>The propylene glycol used to produce vapor of an e-cigarette has been listed as a safe ingredient for two generations. With only 20 ingredients, all of them approved as additives for human consumption, clearly e-cigarette benefits are clear when health risks are considered. There are no dangerous or carcinogenic additives and no tar is present in the vapor of an e-cigarette.</p>
<p>Two main points seems to be of the great interest to new e-smokers. The health benefits are not hard for people to grasp but smokers want to know if the best e-cigarette provides a satisfying smoking experience. That is the question most asked by smokers when they are talking to an e-cigarette user.</p>
<p>Also of interest is the flavor of e-cigarettes. It the flavor is unpleasant or leaves an aftertaste, the e-cigarette will be a novelty rather than a true option. If the product requires frequent taking apart for refills and cleaning or clogs easily, using an e-cigarette may be more trouble than it&#8217;s worth.</p>
<p>The rapid increase in sales of electronic cigarettes is an indication of the number of smokers who are anxious to try this tobacco alternative. If you buy the best e-cigarette you will be in a better position to evaluate e-smoking than by trying cheaper brands. Innovative products such as Green Smoke offer e-cigarette benefits without the poor vapor, bad flavor or maintenance problems that are e-cigarette disadvantages present in cheap products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best e-cigarettes available today provide a surprisingly real smoking experience that often surprises those trying this tobacco alternative for the first time. The first products introduced were poorly made gimmicks with heavy batteries and thin, unsatisfying vapor. Even so, there was great interest about the new products throughout the smoking public.</p>
<p>The quality of the best e-cigarette is judged by the volume of the vapor produced. Dense vapor provides a more satisfying experience for the smoker as well as better delivery of nicotine solution. Cheap e-cigs often yield a thin, weak vapor while the best e-cigarette brands such as Green Smoke are well known for the high vapor volume their products produce.</p>
<p>Ingesting nicotine is the reason for smoking tobacco &#8211; and for using e-cigarettes, too. That first hit of nicotine laced smoke in the back of the throat is a familiar feeling for smokers. The nicotine is quickly absorbed by the membranes and reaches the bloodstream satisfying the need for a nicotine hit. The best e-cigarettes deliver a dense vapor that provides e-smokers with that same throat hit of nicotine they are used to feeling when they light up.</p>
<p>E-cigarettes sold today are similar in appearance to the tobacco products they are meant to replace. Unlike cheap early versions of the product, the best e-cigarette has a balance and design similar to the smokes you are used to. New battery technology has solved the problem of unbalanced products weighted down by a battery at one end.</p>
<p>New longer lasting batteries hold a charge much better than older versions. At the tip of the e-cigarette an LED light flares in brightness as you take puff on the mouthpiece of your e-cig. A bonus for smokers is that thought it may appear realistic, the fire on your e-cigarette will not burn a hole in your car seat or clothing.</p>
<p>E-smokers can choose from several flavors. The regular tobacco flavor and menthol are the most in demand. More adventurous users might try strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, or coffee flavored vapor. The flavors are not identical to the flavor of tobacco but are very close.</p>
<p>Another choice to be made when you buy e-cigarette (s) is the level of nicotine you prefer. Heavy smokers may choose the highest level of 16 mg and enjoy a nicotine strength equal to smoking non-filtered cigarettes.</p>
<p>If you prefer to smoke full flavor tobacco brands, the 8 mg nicotine level is a good comparison. For smokers of Light brands the 6 mg strength will salve their nicotine needs and for Ultra Light smokers the choice is the lighter 4 mg e-cigarette cartridges.</p>
<p>Electronic cigarettes do not provide a real comparison with tobacco when price is considered. Increased tobacco taxes on the federal and state levels have greatly increased the price of smoking tobacco. With a cost of $5-10 per pack smoking is not longer an inexpensive habit and can be big budget item for some smokers. If you buy e-cigarette (s) from even the top named brands you will pay approximately $2 for the equivalent of one pack of standard cigarettes. Demand for e-cigarettes is rapidly increasing in the marketplace and may be driven in part by the significant savings of e-cigarettes when compared to other high cost of tobacco products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E-cigarettes sold as novelties or gimmicks just a few years ago cannot compare with the advanced electronic cigarette available to consumers today. Technology has made new designs far superior as a viable substitute for tobacco use.</p>
<p>The old style e-cigarettes were unbalanced with heavy heavy batteries that did not hold a charge very long. The nicotine content varied widely and was seldom satisfying as the vapor produced was thin and weak.</p>
<p>The best e-cigarette on the market, Green Smoke, has the look and the feel of the standard smoke it is designed to replace. The first electronic cigarettes sold required refilling with liquids that were messy and require disassembling to refill. The flavors often bore little resemblance to the name used to describe them.</p>
<p>Old atomizers required frequent cleaning to prevent clogging. A smoker carrying his e-cigarette with him had to carry e-liquid for refilling as well as equipment to clean and clear clogs. Cheap e-cigarettes were quickly abandoned by smokers who tried them and then returned to tobacco.</p>
<p>Technological improvements in electronics have led to development of an advanced e-cigarette. One top brand, Green Smoke, has an ongoing independent testing program to guarantee quality and reliability and offer two part e-smokes that are clean and simple to operate. Popularity of the best e-cigarette has grown rapidly since it&#8217;s introduction to consumers.</p>
<p>One improvement is the quality of the flavors offered today. Although the most popular flavors are regular (tobacco) and menthol the variety of flavors available continues to be expanded. Some choices are strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, coffee and apple and the reasonable cost of refill cartridges allows e-smokers the opportunity to experiment with flavors.</p>
<p>For the e-smoker on the go, a new electric charger is now offered by Green Smoke. This small item can be charged before you leave home and then used to charge a battery component for your e-cigarette without any need to find an electrical outlet. Light weight batteries allow designs to be well balanced and hold a charge much longer than old style batteries. Everything you need to enjoy your e-cigarette through your daily activities will fit into a very small pocket.</p>
<p>The disposable Green Smoke cartridges are color coded for flavor and pre-filled with carefully controlled doses of nicotine. The mouthpiece (atomizer) is replaced with each new cartridge refill. Each new cartridge also replaces the mouthpiece which eliminates the need for cleaning and eliminates any problems of clogging.</p>
<p>The dense vapor of Green Smoke satisfies the need for nicotine of a smoker with no harmful fumes released to the environment. The two-part cartridge design of Green Smoke makes changing to a fresh new cartridge as easy as opening a pack of standard cigarettes. As you take a puff the LED light at the tip glows brighter and the texture of a Green Smoke e-cig resembles the feel of the tobacco product. Old versions of e-cigarettes cannot compare with the advanced electronic cigarette on the market today.</p>
<p>Mary Kay Rivers has become a true expert on all aspects of electronic cigarettes. Her articles about <a href="http://buyecigarette.com/45">electronic cigarette disadvantages</a> and how to <a href="http://buyecigarette.com/0">buy electronic cigarettes</a> have become very famous.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The unbalanced early e-cigarettes had heavy batteries that did not hold a charge well. The surface was slick plastic and the smoking experience left much to be desired. Even though the early versions were novelty items, consumers were very interested in this new product.</p>
<p>Today the electronic cigarette is taken seriously by consumers and by big tobacco. This is no gimmick but a realistic and satisfying option to smokers who are seeking an alternative to harmful tobacco. Advances in batteries and technology have drastically changed the e-smoking products and they are now seen as realistic options to smoking harmful tobacco.</p>
<p>The e-cigarette industry has taken huge leaps in safety, easy of use and reliability. Years of myths spread by big tobacco and big pharma led e-cigarette providers to create their own trade association to education the public about the new, improved electronic cigarette option. The best e-cigarette, Green Smoke, became a best seller when it was first introduced and sales continue to rise as the benefits of this product become known.</p>
<p>You can buy an e-cigarette made in the U.S.A. rather than a cheaply made import from China where quality control and testing are not priorities. Green Smoke participates in ongoing independent testing to provide quality control and the highest standards in the e-cigarette industry.</p>
<p>The growing popularity and sales of Green Smoke are due to the reputation for high vapor volume of this top e-cigarette. With imported e-liquids used to refill three part designs users may be exposed to nicotine far below or far above the strength listed on the label.</p>
<p>The innovative two-part design of Green Smoke make this a user friendly product. The cartridges are pre-filled with nicotine solution and may be purchased in nicotine strength from 0 mg to 16 mg. The level of nicotine is based on the current tobacco consumption of the smoker. The best e-cigarette requires no maintenance by the e-smoker.</p>
<p>There are several flavors available for those who are adventurous as flavor is an important element for e-cigarettes. The most popular are regular (tobacco) and menthol. Though tobacco is not a great flavor it is identified by smokers as the taste they experience as their need for nicotine is fulfilled.</p>
<p>A new atomizer (mouthpiece) is added each time you change to a new cartridge when you choose Green Smoke. There is no tiny sponge to be re-saturated and no chance of bacteria building in an old mouthpiece. A new cartridge color coded for flavor can be added by simply unscrewing the old and screwing on the new cartridge.</p>
<p>Green Smoke has exploded as the most popular electronic cigarette on the market today due to the safe production standards and the trust this produces for consumers. The popularity of e-cigarettes continues to grow rapidly as the hazard of smoking tobacco are a clear and present danger to every smoker. Recent tobacco tax increases and price increases at the wholesale level have only increase the interest and demand for electronic cigarette alternatives to harmful tobacco.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When trying a new product it is wise to ask about the potential risks that may be encountered. When it comes to health, e-cigarette producers will honestly tell you the scientific studies have not been completed for this new product. However, they will also tell you that inhaling a vapor mist is not comparable to the health risks of inhaling tobacco smoke.</p>
<p>For generations the dangers of smoking were not known. As the habit was clearly proven to have links to cancer, heart disease and proven to be a causative factor in other serious illnesses even long term smokers now realize the dangers of inhaling toxic smoke. Smokers used to argue that tobacco was a natural product and therefore not dangerous. The changes that occur in this substance when it is burned is the root of the problem for smokers.</p>
<p>Sold initially as a gimmick or gag gift, electronic cigarettes have only been on the market since 2003. Rapid advances in technology and battery development has led to the gimmick becoming a viable tobacco alternative. There is no argument that there are few products sold that carry more health risk than tobacco items. That may account for the growing popularity of e-cigs.</p>
<p>There is no combustion with e-cigarettes and no carcinogens created by burning. There is nicotine, of course, but by itself nicotine is not considered a health risk. The vapor is produced by propylene glycol and some health concerns and myths focus on the inclusion of propylene glycol.</p>
<p>Some claims have be publicized that antifreeze is an ingredient in electronic cigarettes. Most antifreeze is made with ethylene glycol which is a different chemical compound. Propylene glycol used to create the vapor mist has been approved as a food ingredient safe for consumers for more than 40 years.</p>
<p>Electronic cigarette supplies do not claim there are no health issues associated with e-cigarettes. To date, no issues have been determined yet it will take time for full testing of this new product. Although the e-cigarettes health risk is not yet fully known it is safe to say that inhaling vapor mist is safer than smoking tobacco.</p>
<p>The e-liquid used to refill e-cigarettes has been shown to be unreliable and if there is a health risk associated with e-cigarette (s) it is with these refill products. Quality control of some cheaper varieties is nonexistent and it is wise to purchase refill e-solution only from a recognized seller.</p>
<p>If there is any health issue currently associated with e-cigarettes it is the poor quality assurance of some e-liquid producers. Cheaper imported solution have been tested and found to contain widely varied levels of nicotine and other ingredients that are questionable. This may leave a smoker dissatisfied with a low dose of nicotine ot hr msy receive a dose that is too high.</p>
<p>If you choose an electronic cigarette using pre-filled cartridges there is no need to worry about the quality and safety of e-liquid refills as you will never use them.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The introduction of stop smoking products such as nicotine patches and gums were met with instant acceptance by consumers anxious to quit smoking. A prescription was required which raised the cost of the products to include a doctor&#8217;s visit but after a few years of safe use the smoking cessation products were allowed to be sold over the counter without prescription.</p>
<p>Smokers gratefully accepted the nicotine replacement products in the quest to quit smoking. The stop smoking products worked by providing a smoker with a source of nicotine that would reduce cravings and was designed to facilitate a gradual withdrawal allowing the user to quit smoking over a ten week period of time.</p>
<p>The ten week program recommended to user of the nicotine patch begins with six weeks at maximum dosage (21 mg). Following that the user reduces his usage to a 14 mg patch for two weeks and then to the lowest level (7 mg) for the final two weeks of the stop smoking program. Because the patch can cause sleep disturbances in some people not everyone can wear that patch the full 24 hrs as recommended.</p>
<p>Because the price of tobacco has risen drastically, stop smoking aids are cheaper than the habit itself. A moderate smoker will spend at least $70 a week on his habit but for just over $200 he can purchase supplies for the 10 weeks week stop smoking program. Not all smokers can use nicotine replacements products as they are not recommended for diabetics which account for 8% of the U.S. population.</p>
<p>Another option for those who wish to stop smoking are nicotine gums. Nicotine is delivered to the body through the tissues of the mouth by a type of chewing gum. The individually foil wrapped pieces of gum contain 2 or 4 mg of nicotine which is comparable to the amount in one or two standard smokes.</p>
<p>The user chews the nicotine gum until it is soft and a tingle is felt in the mouth. The tingle indicates nicotine is being released and absorbed by the tissues of the mouth. From there it is delivered to the blood stream. One the tingle begins, the gum is tucked between the smoker&#8217;s cheek and gums and held there for a time. As more nicotine is needed the smoker chews again for a few moments until the tingle starts once more and then tucks the gum as before. One piece of nicotine gum will last for about half an hour.</p>
<p>Nicotine constricts the blood vessels which may be why long term use of nicotine gums can lead to gum disease. Side effects of hiccups and feeling the throat is constricting may be cause by swallowing saliva contains a high dose of nicotine from overuse of the medicated gum. When beginning a smoking cessation program involving nicotine replacement products smokers should be alert to any side effects they might experience.</p>
<p>Pregnant women and nursing mothers cannot use nicotine patches. There is evidence that nicotine replacement products used in the first trimester of pregnancy may be associated in an increase in birth defects.</p>
<p>Medication provided by prescription are most often antidepressants meant to ease the smokers craving for nicotine and provide calm to reduce withdrawal pangs. The pill are popular with the public but new concerns about side effects have recently surfaced. Stop smoking pills are prescribed for a specific period of time &#8211; usually two months &#8211; and should be taken under a doctor&#8217;s supervision.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t compare patches, gums and pills meant help you stop smoking with electronic cigarettes. The e-cigarette is meant to provide safer alternative to smoking rather than to help you quit. Smokers who buy e-cigarette (s) are those who want to continue smoking but in a healthier and environmentally friendly manner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you buy e-cigarette (s) it can be difficult to separate lies from truth about electronic cigarettes. E-cigarettes are not meant to help people stop smoking. Instead, the popular new product provides a nicotine delivery system that is safer and cheaper than tobacco use.</p>
<p>From the nicotine laced vapor to the little LED light at the tip, the best e-cigarette provides a satisfying and realistic smoking experience. The vapor mist delivers nicotine and flavor to the e-smoker in a way that is similar, but not identical, to the experience of inhaling tobacco smoke.</p>
<p>A starter kit provides everything the smoker needs when you buy e-cigarette (s). The best e-cigarette starter kit will contain two battery components, a charger and a mouthpiece or atomizer. Two batteries allow one to be charging while the second is in use.</p>
<p>The atomizer may be refillable with liquid nicotine solution which is dripped on a small removable sponge or may be designed with cartridges that are simply replaced when depleted. The cartridge system is preferable for many e-smokers as there is a new atomizer with each cartridge change.</p>
<p>You may worry that e-cigarettes are difficult to use but that is far from the case. This is a simple mechanism. When the user takes a puff from the mouthpiece, the LED light flares brighter at the tip of the e-cig. The atomizer is activated by the battery and immediately produces a vapor mist that carries nicotine and flavor as the user inhales. For e-cigs with pre-filled, replaceable cartridges each cartridge is about equal to one pack of tobacco smokes.</p>
<p>It is strange to find tobacco manufacturers and non-smoking groups on the same side of an argument yet that is the case when it comes to electronic cigarettes. The truth about the electronic cigarette is that non-smoking organizations do not approve any form of nicotine use and some governments are worried the loss of tobacco tax revenue. As the facts become clear, the popularity of electronics will only continue to grow.</p>
<p>The electronic cigarette is a simple product to use. The battery activates the atomizer when the e-smoker takes a draw on the mouthpiece. The little red LED light at the tip flares brighter and vapor mist is immediately produced to deliver flavor and nicotine to the smoker. One cartridge of a two part design with replaceable cartridges is equal to one pack of tobacco smokes.</p>
<p>When you smoke a standard cigarette it is assumed that after you light up you will puff away until the cigarette is consumed. Electronic cigarettes can be picked up and put down at any time and you may find yourself smoking less than you did before. Sometimes your nicotine craving is sated after only a few puffs.</p>
<p>The truth about electronic cigarettes is that they threaten the status quo of big tobacco and big pharma. Governments at all levels fill their coffers with high tobacco taxes and non-smoking groups don&#8217;t approve of anything except programs that help consumers stop smoking. In spite of the myth spread, the popularity of electronic cigarettes continues to skyrocket.</p>
<p>Mary Kay Rivers is an acclaimed expert on all facets of electronic cigarettes. Her publications about the <a href="http://buyecigarette.com/38">health risks with e-cigs</a> or how <a href="http://buyecigarette.com/0">to buy e-cigarette</a> have become very famous.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The FDA issued vague warnings about the benefit of electronic cigarettes as it bowed to pressure of highly paid tobacco lobbyists. Such misinformation has led consumers to question the benefit of e-cigarettes but that cloud of suspicion is gone once buyers learn the truth. Many myths about electronic smoking products are spread by big tobacco and big pharma in an attempt to damage or ban what they now know is a competing product in the U.S. market.</p>
<p>With about 4000 chemical and carcinogens, it&#8217;s not difficult to accept the health risk of tobacco products. Consumers are smart today and able to evaluate the benefits offer by e-cigarettes for themselves once they are given access to honest information. There is no question that inhaling the smoke from burning tobacco might be more dangerous than breathing in a water vapor.</p>
<p>Electronic cigarettes contains only about 20 ingredients and use propylene glycol to create the vapor that delivers nicotine and flavor to the e-smoker. Though opponents of e-cigarettes have insinuated PG is antifreeze that is simply not the truth. The main ingredient used in antifreeze is ethylene glycol which is a different chemical compound.</p>
<p>Scientific research using mice, monkeys and other lab animals found no ill effects associated with propylene glycol in inhalable form. It does not cause irritation to the mouth or throat and some evidence exists that PG may have beneficial effects in preventing some respiratory diseases.</p>
<p>The lack of harm to the environment is another benefit of the e-cigarette. People around an e-smoker are not subjected to second hand smoke as the vapor mist dissipates quickly like steam does when water is boiled.</p>
<p>Once again smokers can relax in their favorite chair while they enjoy an e-cigarette. The stale odor we associate with smokers is nonexistent and with no risk to family and friends, e-smokers can indulge their habit anywhere they want. No longer must you stand outside in bad weather just to grab a hit of nicotine.</p>
<p>With no fire involved, the risk of children finding matches or lighters is removed and you will no longer find burn holes in your favorite slacks or on the seat of your car. There is no smoldering ash to drop unexpectedly and an e-smoker who dozes off on the couch will not be risking a fire.</p>
<p>The current cost of one pack of standard cigarettes is $5-10. An increase in whole prices combined with increased tobacco taxes at state and federal levels have doubled the price of smokes in the past two years. When you consider smoking the equivalent of one pack using an e-cigarette will cost only about $2, the cost advantage is clearly important to smokers. The rapid increase in popularity and sales of the best e-cigarette (s) are in large part due to the need of consumers to save money with a tobacco alternative.</p>
<p>When you consider the clear benefits of e-cigarettes the option of a safer smoking product is clear. With reduced health risk, safety of use and low price, it is no wonder that the best e-cigarettes such as Green Smoke are showing huge increases in sales each month.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Electronic cigarettes have a short history as they were introduced in 2003 by the SBT Co. Ltd. of Beijing, China. After the first launch, Ruyan developed the electronic products further and introduced electronic cigarettes to the European market at a 2006 Austrian conference. Marketing promotions assigned the name &#8220;Electro fag&#8221; to electronic cigarettes.</p>
<p>Initially, the e-cig was not meant as a replacement for tobacco but as an alternative nicotine delivery system to be used where tobacco smoking was not allowed. The purpose was simply to ease the nicotine cravings of smokers during periods when smoking was not an activity they could indulge in. Overly promotional marketers quickly began referring to e-cigarettes as a method to help the public stop smoking. Manufacturers recognized the danger of making such claims and disapproved of the ads. The World Health Organization issued a statement condemning the portrayal of electronic smoking products as a cure for smoking as benefits and risks of e-cigarettes had not been tested.</p>
<p>Some smokers think of their e-cigs as a hobby but not a habit. Online forums for &#8220;vapers&#8221; (those who use electronic cigs) heatedly discuss the merits of one brand over another, the strength of various e-liquids and argue about which e-cig provide the highest volume of vapor to the smoker.</p>
<p>Initial products attempted rather unsuccessfully to mimic the appearance of tobacco cigarettes. As the e-cig has become a product in its own right those designs have been joined by colored and brightly decorated models and with e-cigarettes displaying logos. The electronic products that do resemble standard smokes are much more realistic in detail than those early products on the market.</p>
<p>In 2009, electronic cigarette suppliers formed their own trade association with a goal of providing factual information about electronic cigarettes and correcting misinformation spread by others. The focus is to promote electronic smoking as an alternative to smoking tobacco.</p>
<p>A significant amount of opposition has been aimed at electronic cigarettes by tobacco and pharmaceutical companies and the powerful lobbies that represent them in Washington, D.C. Bowing under pressure from these large corporations, the FDA has issued statements against e-cigarettes and last year imposed a ban on imports of the product from China. Recent court decisions may help counter the FDA&#8217;s policies and limit the ability of the lobbies to influence decisions of a government agency.</p>
<p>Tobacco companies and pharmaceuticals have been quick to spread misinformation about the effects of e-smoking. Amazingly, companies that sell the most dangerous consumer product available to the public are expressing concern about the safety of electronic cigarettes and the effect e-cigs might have on public health.</p>
<p>The two piece disposable cartridge design is a recent innovation in the electronic cigarette market. After about 400 puffs, which is the equivalent of one pack of cigarettes, the smoker simply unscrews the spent mouthpiece and screws on a new cartridge pre-filled with nicotine solution. No cleaning is needed, no e-liquid is required and changing the cartridge is as easy as opening a cigarette pack.</p>
<p>Electronic cigarettes may have a short history but there is a huge potential market for these products. Demand continues to increase as more information about the safety and improved quality of the best electronic cigarettes becomes available to the smoking public.</p>
<p>Mary Kay Rivers has become an expert in the field of electronic cigarettes. Her articles about an interesing story of the <a href="http://bestecigarette.com/14">FDA and e-cigs</a> or about the <a href="http://bestecigarette.com/0">best e-cigarette</a> are well-known.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The e-cigarette industry launched the Electronic Cigarette Association to provide a platform to speak for the producers, distributors and retailers of electronic cigarettes. The trade association was formed in 2009 in Washington, D.C. and is funded through donations and by the members. The ECA answers questions about e-cigs, provides accurate information and focuses on public relations.</p>
<p>The ECA provides a collective voice for both e-cigarette providers and organizations by publicizing accurate information and providing the tools necessary to opinion leaders, policy makers and the news media. By instituting a code of conduct that is industry wide, the ECA hopes to reassure the public and legislators about the safety and purpose of electronic cigarettes.</p>
<p>Powerful lobbyists of big tobacco and large pharmaceutical firms have attacked e-cigarettes from the time the products were introduced in 2003. Pressure from these highly financed lobbies resulted in the FDA conducting a very limited and unscientific study of e-cigs and issuing a caution about their use.. The Electronic Cigarette Association aims to combat the push to ban the products. Results of the FDA testing found a trace amount of a risky compound but did not compare that result with a similar test for the compound in tobacco products. The big corporations realized in 2003 that the electronic versions could damage their profits and they have been applying pressure for a ban since then.</p>
<p>The e-cig is presented as a safer and cheaper alternative to tobacco products in the information disseminated by the ECA. Users are encouraged to share their stories about tobacco and e-cigs and urged to contact legislators and argue against any ban of the product.</p>
<p>When new products are introduced, especially if they are innovative, misinformation is to be expected. For generations the health risks of smoking tobacco have been well documented and accepted. Smoking tobacco products was totally acceptable for generations and accomodations (and ashtrays) for smokers were available wherever you looked. The macho Marlboro man died of lung cancer. The feminist Virginia Slims lady is not seen as glamorous by women today.</p>
<p>The number of ingredients, additives and compounds in tobacco are now fully understood as are the serious health risks involved in smoking. Public buildings and places of entertainment such as restaurants, theaters, and even bars have banned smoking and the trend toward non smoking public areas is spreading to more public places.</p>
<p>For years the public asked for a safer alternative to smoking tobacco and that is exactly what is provided by electronic cigarettes. Big tobacco stands to lose a lot of money as the popularity of e-cigs continues to grow as they provide an alternate nicotine inhalation system that doesn&#8217;t expose the smoker to the additives and burning chemical compounds of tobacco. Pharmaceuticals also stand to lose profits. Unfortunately, these two sectors provide a lot of money to legislators.</p>
<p>The first warnings on cigarette packs appeared after the surgeon general declared tobacco as a health hazard forty years ago. The FDA has refused to intervene in regulating tobacco products or additive and has shown no interest in banning the use of tobacco. Electronic cigarettes have been available to the public for only a few years yet the FDA has repeatedly mentioned banning or regulating e-cigs. The Electronic Cigarette Association was created to publicize the truth about electronic cigarettes in the hope that e-cigs will remain available to the public as a safer alternative to tobacco products.</p>
<p>Mary Kay Rivers has become an expert on all aspects of electronic cigarettes. Her publications about <a href="http://bestecigarette.com/5">electronic cigarettes as an alternative</a> and about the <a href="http://bestecigarette.com/0">best electronic cigarette</a> have become well-known.</p>
