Dangers of Cigarettes - Safety of Electronic Cigarettes

Being a previous smoker myself and losing my mother and father to lung cancer in 2005. I take the job of educating the public on the benefits of using electronic cigarettes quite personally. If electronic cigarettes were available to my parents, they would still be here today.

You could spend hours upon hours, as I have, learning extensively about the 4,000-plus chemicals you’ll find in the smoke produced by cigarettes. I have compiled a short list of chemicals that are put into the traditional cigarettes you enjoy on a daily basis. These are common in most cigarettes produced today.

Ammonia: Household cleaner
Angelica root extract: Known to cause cancer in animals
Arsenic: Used in rat poisons
Benzene: Used in making dyes, synthetic rubber
Butane: Gas; used in lighter fluid
Carbon monoxide: Poisonous gas
Cadmium: Used in batteries
Cyanide: Deadly poison
DDT: A banned insecticide
Ethyl Furoate: Causes liver damage in animals
Lead: Poisonous in high doses
Formaldehiyde: Used to preserve dead specimens
Methoprene: Insecticide
Maltitol: Sweetener for diabetics
Napthalene: Ingredient in mothballs
Methyl isocyanate: Its accidental release killed 2000 people in Bhopal, India in 1984
Polonium: Cancer-causing radioactive element

Removing the above listed harmful chemicals and elements from your daily intake improves your life in an amazing way! Here are the awesome facts about electronic cigarettes in comparison to traditional cigarettes. The fact that they’re designed to replace smoking and the multitude of ways in which they’re much safer creates hundreds of reasons to switch. Here is a list that shows the fifteen best reasons to use electronic cigarettes over traditional cigarettes.

No Ash. Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs cigarettes work through heating a solution to turn it into vapor. Since this doesn’t involve any combustion, it doesn’t produce any ash. When you switch, you can get rid of the stinking, ash-caked tray overflowing with butts.

Considerably Fewer Chemicals. With electronic cigarettes, the thousands of chemicals you consume in tobacco smoke (including hundreds of toxins, several of which cause cancer) are reduced to a mere handful of known and safe ones.

Huge Decrease in Cancer Causing Elements. This is a massive reason for me personally. There are 70 known carcinogens in tobacco smoke. In Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs e-cigarettes, there’s only nicotine, propylene glycol (used in smoke machines at concerts) and food flavorings you can pick up from the grocery store. Both Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs ecigarettes lower your risk of cancer exponentially.

Saves you Money. A single Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs e-cigarette cartridge contains the same amount of nicotine as around 40 cigarettes. You can get six-packs of cartridges for the same price as two packs of cigarettes, if you happen to live in one of the cheapest tobacco taxed states, the cost-savings are immediately clear.

Its Just Like Smoking. We put serious effort into making Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs to replicate the sensation of smoking, flavor, vapor (smoke) volume and comfort in your hand. You get a cloud of smoke-like vapor, a realistic “hit” at the back of your throat when you inhale, and a glowing tip when you take a puff. Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs do a fantastic job of imitating the traditional cigarette sensation, throughout the experience.

Easier to Use. No lighter to carry, no wind to consider when using. Our electronic cigarettes may be modern technology, but they’re extremely simple to use. There is a "cartridge" just like the filter area of a cigarette that contains the "juice" and atomizer (heating element), and a battery, where the tobacco and chemicals are in a traditional cigarette. The battery activates automatically, when you draw on the device, creating vapor which comes out of the mouthpiece when you inhale.

No Fire Hazard. If you fall asleep with a cigarette in your hand, it could spell disaster. A ruined home, torched family memories and possibly far worse. Fall asleep with an e-cig in your hand, and … nothing, its like falling asleep with your mobile phone in your hand, nothing. There is no fire involved, so there’s no danger.

No Odor. The smell of smoke is extremely off-putting to many people. Most smokers even don’t like their clothes reeking of pungent cigarettes. E-cigarettes smell only faintly, and that’s just the flavoring. With cigarettes, you smell like an ashtray caked in tar; with e-cigarettes, you smell faintly of chocolate, or grapes, or any flavor you choose.

No Stained Teeth. The tar and excessive junk you pump into your body when you smoke a cigarette are removed with e-cigarettes. Without the dirty chemicals, you won’t stain your teeth that sickly yellow-brown.

No Second Hand Smoke. Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs smoke (or vape) very efficiently. Nothing comes out from the tip (like with traditional cigarettes), and they don’t pose a risk to anybody close to you.

No Smoker’s Cough. It’s actually the wide range of toxins present in cigarette smoke which irritates the back of the throat and causes a smoker’s cough. Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs don’t have these toxins, so the cough will disappear. The “smokers cough” has been eliminated in almost every person that has made the switch.

These are the reasons we created Sapphyre and Eco-Cigs.

We believe in a healthier lifestyle. For you and your families. 

Take the next step for yourself and start living differently, without ash, tar, odors, stained teeth, with the added value of more money in your pocket.
