Despite the onslaught of negative publicity e-cigarettes have received lately, this has not stopped consumers from testing if they really do emulate the smoking experience and if they can help them quit. It also has not stopped health professionals from encouraging the use of e-cigarettes as a safer and healthier alternative to tobacco cigarettes.

Recent studies conducted by the FDA confirmed the fears of naysayers and e-cigarette opponents when results showed the presence of a particular chemical by the name of diethylene glycol.

“What the FDA failed to mention was that the tests found diethylene glycol in only 1 of the 18 cartridges they tested, and its concentration level was 1%,” says Tony Fisher, formerly a chain smoker of 19 years who started using his e-cigarette in February and hasn’t smoked a tobacco cigarette since. “What’s funny is, that chemical is also in tobacco…”

The concern about the safety of the nicotine found in e-cigarettes isn’t in question, according to some physicians.

“So if we can figure that the nicotine in the e-cigarettes is basically a generic version of the same nicotine that is in prescription products,” says Dr. Joel Nitzkin, Chair of the Tobacco Control Task Force for the American Association of Public Health Physicians. “We have every reason to believe that the hazard posed by e-cigarettes would be much lower than one percent, probably lower than one tenth of one percent of the hazard posed by regular cigarettes.”

Dr. Bruce Campbell, a cancer specialist at the Medical College of Froedtert in Wisconsin, even encourages the use of e-cigarettes if it helps smokers stop smoking. “Any time we can get people to cut down on smoking,” he says, “it’s a good thing!”

With wild and growing support from the public, saddled with many medical and scientific professionals, the FDA and special interests may have a battle on their hands that they may not want to undertake.

What is this product, you might ask?

It’s the electronic cigarette.

If you believe all the hype about what is bad for you in these things, then don’t use them at all. However, here’s a list of the major ingredients, and other products containing these “dangerous” substances.

Propylene Glycol-
This is found in more than you can imagine.
Cake mixes, salad dressings, soft drinks, popcorn, food colorings, fat-free ice cream, sno cones, sour cream, Lotions, creams, some baby wipes, shampoos, antiperspirants, cosmetics, lipstick, lubricant, hand sanitizers, Room deodorizers, cleaners, sanitizers, tobacco, injected medication, inhaled medication, oral medication, fog machines, smoke simulators for firefighter training, brake fluid, and yes, new “non-toxic” and “safe” automotive antifreeze.

It’s in much of what we eat, drink, put on our skin, and use in our lives. It’s been well researched, and deemed safe, with over 70 years in existance.

Vegetable Glycerin-
It’s also in many products.

Cordite (propellant), smokeless gunpowder, dynamite, nitroglycerin, gelignite, cough syrup, toothpaste, mouthwash, skin care products, shaving cream, hair care products, soaps, personal lubricants, candy, fudge, baked products, paper, ink, injected medicines, oral medicines, inhaled medicines, textiles, and electronics.

Flavorings-
Do we really need a listing on this? Common sense says anything drank, ate, and even smelled will have flavorings, as well as these flavorings added to a myriad of unsafe products to make them taste bad.

Nicotine-
It’s found in or on:
Many vegetables as an insecticide, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, some medications besides NRTs (scopalamine, extracted from nightshade family plants contains small amounts of nicotine in it’s makeup, and is also being researched for theraputic values outside nicotine dependance)

So, Let’s see the diet and life if they avoid all these products.
They’re unable to wash up in the shower, as all their soaps, shampoos, and conditioners contain either Propylene Glycol or Glycerin. They arrive to the sink and scrub their teeth with a bare brush because they can’t use toothpaste or mouthwash. They are unable to put on deoderants.

They get dressed in their dirty clothes they are unable to wash, and enter a filthy kitchen. Pushing aside a stack of dirty plates, they make themselves a cup of coffee, then have an egg cooked in bacon grease, lard, or butter. They have to hurry, and can’t enjoy some toast or a doughnut. They drive into work.

At lunchtime, they’re unable to enjoy what everyone else is having. Salads with dressings, or even just the lettuce itself, and sandwiches. They can’t even grab a candy bar or snack cake from the vending machine. Dejectedly, they go hungry as they watch others enjoy their lunches.

They get home for dinner, and pop on some bacon and hamburger. They long for some bread, but they’re avoiding all this nasty stuff that could kill them. No ketchuup or BBQ sauce. they watch some television in their ever increasingly bad smelling home, then fall asleep in a filthy bed.

Hmmmm. Seems if we ban everything in an electronic cigarette, our everyday lives will be so profoundly affected we’d be stuck. That’s not even thinking of going to a cabin or RV that’s been weatherized for the winter (PG in the drinking water pipes to prevent freezing) or going to the doctor for some medicine. And if you need a rescue inhaler or nebulizer? Those would be out as well.

These organizations like ASH and Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids wishes you to think these things are dangerous and must be tested. In reality, this is nothing really new. It’s all been there for a long time. AND EVEN THE NICOTROL INHALER COMBINES NICOTINE AND PG! AND THAT IS FDA APPROVED!

Believe the hype and think all the things in an Electronic Cigarette are as dangerous or more dangerous than a traditional cigarette. Then try to live a month without using ANY of the ingredients found in the Electronic cigarette. I guarantee you will sing a different tune.

Note: this is only a small list of the things containing the ingredients in Electronic Cigarettes, and is likely to be a lot larger.

At a time when the government is ostensibly trying to cut health costs, why is it trying to ban something that might help people quit smoking tobacco, perhaps the most devastating health problem in the U.S.?
