Fair enough if thats been debunked but how ever you look at E-Cigs, even though they look appealing, until the day real research comes out, they cannot be deemed as safe or a "healthy" option to tobacco. I understand its not you having a rant or being defensive. You have very good points. I'm also not saying tobacco is great and as much as I enjoy smoking, I understand others find it repulsive and I can see why but each to their own.
Afew of my close friends use E-Cigs and they admit they feel much healthier but people also said the same after switching from full fat Coke-a-cola to Diet Coke
I 100% believe that e-cigs can be solidly referred to as a "healthier" (note: not "healthy", as the words construe different meanings) alternative to cigarettes. The ingredients of e-juice and physiological reactions to use are nearly enough in themselves to solidify that point.
I do not believe that they are 100% safe ... but honestly, nothing is. Take a walk near a busy road and you're taking in carcinogens. Drink too much water and your brain will swell. The thing is, we think nothing of walking near that busy road because our bodies don't react. They can deal with the levels, and will do so for the remainder of our lives.
In twenty years' time I might well grow an extra limb from the back of my head due to vaping, but right now my body is telling me that things are a hell of a lot better than they were with tobacco smoke. In fact, I'm sitting here vaping at the moment while the wife lifts weights in the same room. Couldn't do that when I was smoking!
That's good enough for me, for now.
What's the problem with Diet Coke, though? Only a problem if you're one of the few who suffer adverse reactions to aspartame/phenylalanine, surely?
