Science While the skepticism around the electronic cigarette is growing, it remains the British government believe in vapen as a means to help people stop smoking. “It is 95% safer than tobacco smoke”, sounds. To their claim to add power, launches public service of Public Health England (PHE) launched a new campaign. Including images of an experiment that a shocking show how much sticky black tar in the lungs of a heavy smoker to accumulate. Something that is not in the e-cigarette to find.
The truth today is that we still little know about the effects of vapen, especially when it comes to the long-term effects. Various scientific studies refer to the e-cigarette is now all to the garbage bin as harmful and unhealthy. “Nevertheless, most scientists agree that there is an important decrease of the risks in comparison with regular cigarette”, is the message on the website of Tabakstop.

That also highlights the British government. “Vapen is much less harmful than a regular cigarette,” said the PHE, which is the vapen as a good tool to consider for smokers to the cigarette forever to turn their back. In an experiment to demonstrate the government agency the devastating effects of each ordinary cigarette. “This helps to demonstrate that vapen only a fraction of the risk.”
Fake fears
“We need smokers to reassure that the transition to electronic smoking is far less harmful,” says professor John Newton of PHE. “It would be simply tragic if thousands of smokers who would be able to quit with the help of an e-cigarette, be repelled by false fears.”

Because, as it sounds, some studies focus on the risks of the e-cigarette, without the comparison with the risks of the normal cigarette. So does the round that vapen ‘popcornlong’ caused – a condition in which people heavy cough and to breath does happen, and it can be a result of a chemical substance used in e-cigarettes. But that particular ingredient, diacetyl, is also richly present in a traditional cigarette. At levels up to 100 times higher.
“in Addition, some studies are misleading and they speak against each other. The people no longer know what to believe and believe, but what best suits them. A smoker that make it very difficult to stop, might not think that e-cigarettes are safe to try.”

Successful stop
The gezondheidsdepartement performs this certainly not an argument for the e-cigarette. As a growing number of teenagers, especially in the United States, not the traditional smoking, but the vapen beaten. “A port to eventually go smoke”, according to anti-rookinstanties. The PHE wants only the vapen as an astringent not defame, since data of their own darning program’s to demonstrate that 65 to 68 percent of the people that e-cigarettes inschakelden, eventually managed to stop smoking.
“I really hope our experiment helps people understand that the massive damage of smoking can be avoided with a switch to an e-cigarette”, adds doctor Lion Shahab, University College London, that the experiment conducted. “E-cigarettes, or nicotinevervangers such as patches and chewing gum will be your chances of success is to hack a boost.”
