Despite being on the market for several years, in some countries these devices have not been
authorized and their safety and absence of health disturbing factors have not been certified. It is
believed that behind this lack of regulation or negative regulation there are economic interests on
the part of pharmaceutical and/or tobacco lobbies.
However, in other countries this has happened. The important thing on this subject is to acquire
a device that comes from a manufacturer that fully identifies itself, indicating its name, the country
of origin, its physical address and its Internet address, as well as the local or regional authorization
to produce these electronic cigarettes. . As a general rule, a product that can be purchased in
developed countries such as the United States, France, England or Spain, is an indication that
the product is good and that it has gone through different regulations and quality tests.
ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES ARE REUSABLE
Electronic cigarettes work with rechargeable batteries, and since they are electronic equipment
similar to many that we use on a daily basis, such as IPads, telephones, etc.
Electronic cigarettes require periodic maintenance and change of the liquid cartridge, as well as
the internal resistances that are responsible for heating the liquid. These resistances degrade
with use, ending up not making the electronic cigarette work correctly, and must be replaced to
use it normally. Like a phone, the device can be reused until it can definitely not be used anymore,
either due to the wear of the battery life or the resistors.
LESS EXPENSIVE IN THE LONG RUN
Smokers who smoke a pack of conventional cigarettes a day to get their daily dose of nicotine
spend a little over €800 a month, depending on the brand and where they buy their cigarettes.
An initial kit of Electronic Cigarettes can cost between 30 and 90 euros, depending of course on
the brand, type and quality of the product, as well as the liquids used. If we add to this the monthly
costs of liquids, cartridges, atomizers or resistors, it is likely that the consumer of the electronic
cigarette ends up spending around 500 euros less than the consumer of conventional cigarettes.
That is, it is possible to save more than 500 euros per month .
WITH ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES CAN I SMOKE IN PLACES WHERE IT IS
PROHIBITED?
This will depend on the regulation of each country, for example in Europe it is already considered
a product not related to tobacco, so vaping is allowed in places where you cannot smoke. There
are exceptions such as airports, airplanes, health centers, educational centers or public transport,
where the concentration of people would make the use and accumulation of steam odors
uncomfortable in closed spaces where the air to breathe is limited. It is important to respect other
people, regardless of the field or activity that we carry out.
Of course, it is necessary to consult the regulations in force in each country or in each city to be
clear about what rights and what regulations can be applied in each case.
SUMMARY:
Electronic cigarettes are considered to be safer than traditional cigarettes because they don’t
contain tobacco which can cause cancer and other health problems. However, the safety of ecigarettes has not been proven yet; more research needs to be done on their long-term effects
on human health before we can say for sure whether or not they are safe to use
