Electronic cigarette studies you need to pay attention to

Most people who are against the e-cig cite a lack of research as one of the big turn offs. Many people will shrug their shoulders, agree with them and don’t bother looking into e-cigs any further.

Well, despite the myth, there have been quite a few studies into e-cigs and still more ongoing. We’re going to look at some of the ones we think you should be paying attention to.......

It doesn’t impact heart health: 

A study was published by The International Journal of Environmental Research (quite a mouthful) on how e-liquid can impact heart cells.

They tested 20 different types and came to the conclusion that they have no negative effects on cardiac cells.

Health improves after switching to e-cigs: 

University researchers did a study to see how opting for the e-cig influences health.

Their findings?

That 91% of those that switched had improved health. And 97% no longer had chronic coughs.

They don’t stiffen arteries: 

Smoking just two cigarettes causes the aorta to stiffen. But a study by the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Centre in Greece found that e-cigs don’t do the same.

They help people quit: 

One of the major arguments for e-cigs is that they help people kick tobacco. And a study determined that flavoured e-cigs are huge contributors in reducing smoking tobacco!

They don’t lead to smoking amongst teens: 

Another common rebuttal from e-cig critics is that e-cigs lead to teens smoking harmful tobacco. But research conducted at the University of Oklahoma says otherwise.

Out of 1,300 students, only one person that used the e-cig went on to start smoking tobacco cigs. Just one.

Second hand smoke poses no risks: 

A French study found that cigarette smoke could linger for up to 20 minutes. But e-cig vapour dissipated in around 11 seconds on average meaning that second-hand exposure isn’t a public risk,

So there you go. 6 studies that show e-cigs aren’t the demon many make them out to be!
