Is E-Cigarettes Safer to Use Than the Ordinary/Normal Cigarette?



There have been many discussions on whether electronic cigarettes are safer and better than normal cigarettes. Nowadays, many people are gravitating towards e-cigarettes and many young people start smoking an e-cigarette thinking that it is safer than a normal cigarette.To understand if it’s safer, let’s first understand what e-cigarettes are.

Though electronic cigarettes were first conceptualized in 1963 by Herbert A. Gilbert, modern e-cigarettes were invented by Hon Lik in 2003. E-cigarettes usually come with a battery, a heating device, and a liquid holder. They work by heating the liquid to produce an aerosol. Often,e-liquids contain nicotine, which is an addictive drug also present in various tobacco products.

Electronic cigarettes are known in many names, including vape pens, e-cigs, mods, and tank systems. You will find them in the shape of a pen a USB, or a small tank. The e-cigarette aerosol usually contains a range of harmful chemicals like:

• Nicotine
• Cancer-causing chemicals
• Fine particles that are inhaled deeply
• Flavouring like diacetyl, which can cause lung disease
• Metals like nickel, tin, and lead

Compared to regular cigarettes and other tobacco products, e-cigarettes are less harmful. But that does not mean that they are not harmful at all. Some of the health effects of using e-cigarettes are:

• They contain nicotine, which is a health danger for youth, young adults, and pregnant women.
• The aerosol contains harmful substances like cancer-causing chemicals and metals.
• E-cigarettes can be hazardous if not handled properly. They can cause explosions, which happens while charging the battery.

• Nicotine exposure can poison children and adults if they swallow, breathe, or absorb the e-liquid.
Though they are not as harmful as regular cigarettes, they still contain a lot of harmful substances. E-cigarettes are known to help non-pregnant smokers get out of the habit of smoking. There have been various researches conducted to support this claim, but due to smaller sample and lesser trials, there has been no concrete evidence in this regard.

The Australian Law does not allow the sale of nicotine or nicotine products and they cannot be sold to anyone below the age of 18.
