We know that e-cigarettes are booming in popularity, but it’s fair to say that people’s knowledge of them is somewhat limited compared to that of regular cigarettes. E-cig users are being bombarded with comments from people without any real awareness of the devices. This blog post highlights some of our favorite vaping misconceptions. Here are some of the things you should avoid saying to a vaper.
1) “I didn’t realize you still smoke?”
As we vapers know, smoking and vaping are not the same thing. For starters, cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. E-cigs by ILoveEcigs contain four simple ingredients: Propylene Glycol, an FDA approved food additive, which is found in many health products and medicines, Water, pure and simple, Flavorings, which give the vapor its flavor, and finally, a small dose of Nicotine.
2) “I just used willpower to quit”
Just because one method works for one person, it doesn’t mean that it will necessary work for another. Some people choose to move to e-cigs to slowly wean themselves away from their nicotine addictions, which is further supported by the varied nicotine levels offered in the E-cigs sold by ILoveEcigs. Vapers can satisfy their cravings while gradually reducing their nicotine usage. It should also be added that not all e-cig users are former smokers.
3) “Why don’t you quit smoking?”
As with comment number one, vaping and smoking are very different things. Their only real similarity is that they both contain nicotine, while traditional cigarettes contain known carcinogens and toxic chemicals.
4) “E-Cigs are far more addictive than real cigarettes”
This comment is complete fabrication, based on nothing other than assumption. Various studies, including one study recently published by Nicotine & Tobacco Research, assessed more than 3,600 e-cig users’ previous dependence on cigarettes and their current dependence on e-cigarettes, and found e-cigs to be less addictive.
5) “Regular cigarettes cost less than e-cigs”
Indeed, the initial cost of buying your e-cig kit is more expensive, but in fact regular cigarettes are far more costly in the long run. Check out our previous blog post, ‘The Cost of E-cigs vs Regular Cigarettes’ for more information.
