New York and New Jersey attempt to bring back prohibition!


Imagine, if you are a smoker, waking up in the morning and actually being able to breathe.  Electronic cigarettes have provided many former cigarette smokers this luxury.  E cigarettes release vapor instead of smoke enabling smokers to breathe deeper and easier. Smokers will be rid of the toxins regular cigarettes hold. Smokers are addicted to nicotine. The nicotine vapor in electronic cigarettes will fulfill cravings, and is not as harmful as the smoke and carcinogens in cigarettes. Smoke from regular cigarettes is the cause of many health problems such as respiratory problems and lung cancer. The E cigarette vapor is just as effective at delivering nicotine.

Since cigarette smoke is the main cause of smoker’s health issues, non smokers will not have to worry about the effects of second hand smoke. A smoker’s loved ones will not have to smell the disgusting smell of smoke on their clothes, and in their homes.

When cigarette smokers switch to electronic cigarettes they also save money. Electronic cigs will cost smokers less

money in the long run. Depending on which e-cigarette you purchase they may prove to be more cost effective.
Although e cigarettes have helped countless amounts of people quit smoking, they have come under attack recently. New York Health Committee Chair Senator Thomas K. Duane, and New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg are attempting to ban them. Lautenberg, who has taken over $100,000 from the pharmaceutical companies who market smoking cessation products, is trying to ban a healthier option for smokers who wish to stop.

Support for e-cigarettes has come from unlikely sources. A recent article on ecigwars.com states a few people have spoken up for e-cigarettes, most notably Chair of the Tobacco Control Group for the

American Association of Public Health Physicians, Dr. Joel L. Nitzkin. He has stated his vigorous opposition of Senator Lautenberg’s proposals. He and many other individuals are convinced that it is harmful to public health to ban a product that is by default far less dangerous than its traditional counterpart, and put what amounts to a government seal of approval on the more dangerous product. The article also states that many complain that Senator Lautenberg is not a medical professional.

The Baltimore Sun last year reported that William T. Godschall, executive director of Smokefree Pennsylvania, said he finds the debate about e-cigarettes to be counterproductive. He agreed that clinical trials have not been conducted, but he finds it odd that a government that can’t seem to regulate cigarettes – which are known to cause cancer – is upset over a much less hazardous product.

“These e-cigarettes are at least 99.9 percent less deadly than cigarettes,” he said. “Let’s worry about the products that are actually killing people.”

The attempts to ban electronic cigs are dashing the hopes of many smokers who are trying to quit. According to a recent article on Online PR News The American Association of Public Health Physicians recently stated that electronic cigs, “could save the lives of 4 million of the 8 million current adult American smokers who will otherwise die of a tobacco-related illness over the next 20 years.” In the article Dr. Michael Siegel, professor at Boston University School of Public Health says, “To take electronic cigarettes off the market is to deny smokers a much safer alternative that is likely saving lives and improving the public health”.
