Electronic Cigarette Facts

posted by Monte Alto on 15 Sept 2009 at 1:22 pm

I watched a spotlight feature on a local TV station a few months ago regarding a nifty little gadget called the 'Electronic Cigarette'¯ and couldn't help but think it was most likely the greatest thing since sliced bread. What an absolutely brilliant idea ... nicotine without all the harmful chemicals, astounding.

It was due to the loss of his father to lung cancer, that Hon Lik, Ruyan's chief designer, delivered the solution to the problem all smokers have faced for years ... devastating health issues and ultimately death ... no ifs', ands' or butts about it. He introduced the smoking consumer to the electronic cigarette which he invented and designed in 2003 and over the course of the last few years, the popularity has been growing by leaps and bounds.

I am and have been a smoker for years. I hate the fact that they are killing, but like every other smoker ... I keep smoking. I do however know what my habit is doing to me and I decided to invest in one of these nifty little devices. After all, it is a fact that the use of tobacco is the single largest cause of preventable deaths worldwide and accounts for more than 440,000 of the more than 2.4 million annual deaths ... so I figured anything else simply had to be better than a conventional cigarette.

This was however ... right about the same time that the FDA stepped into the picture. We all know they are an agency within the United States Department of Health and Human Services responsible for protecting and promoting the nations public health, so after hearing their warning on July 22nd, I couldn't help but feel a little silly ... I was actually going to buy one of those things.

I was however curious about what the FDA had uncovered in their report though, since tobacco products include approximately 599 ingredients many of which are poisonous and carcinogenic in nature and produce around 4,000 toxic chemicals when smoked. To think someone had actually come out with a more dangerous product and had the gall to market it was truly amazing. Not only did the FDA warn people about the risks involved by using this product, they even provided a phone number you could call to report any adverse effects if you had actually used one of these 'so called electronic cigarettes'.

After hearing their statement, I did a quick search on the internet and sure enough ... there it was, 'The FDAs Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis had analyzed the ingredients in a small sample of cartridges from two leading brands of electronic cigarettes. In one sample, the FDAs analysis detected diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans, and in several other samples, the FDA analysis detected carcinogens, including nitrosamines. These tests indicate that these products contained detectable levels of known carcinogens and toxic chemicals to which users could potentially be exposed.' I even downloaded the Lab Analysis they based their news release on and was even more astounded by what I found. I was shocked ... they were there alright.

According to their report on the electronic cigarette, they found levels of NAB at 0.69, NAT 2.16, NNK showed at 1.46 and NNN was 3.87 ... a whopping 8.2 in total .. now since I'm really not too familiar with these nitrosamines they were so concerned with, I figured I should check out the levels in the tobacco products as well. Since these nitrosamines are 'tobacco specific'¯ obviously, they would be found in tobacco as well, that only made sense and at least it would give me a good idea as to where the levels should be, since cigarettes are an approved product and have been on the market forever. As it turned out, Marlboro showed 190 NAB, Nat was 4900, the NNK level was at 1800 and levels of 4300 showed for NNN. The total nitrosamine level was 11,190 and no that isn't a decimal point.

After finding this information, I checked into the other results from these tests as compared to the Nicotrol Inhaler and they are as follows ... Limit of detection Cotinine 20 ppb. Anabasine 10 ppb; myosmine 69 ppb; β-nicotyrine 170 ppb - present but at less than the level of the Nicotrol specification. Analyte was detected but at a level less than the limit-of-quantitation. The cartridges showed they contain detectable amounts of these tobacco specific nitrosamines ... not the toxic amounts found in all tobacco products. The other results showed levels below the Nicitrol Inhaler in almost every test done, although they did not provide the information relating to the actual quantity found in the control device, so your guess, is as good as mine.

Working with Health New Zealand, seven leading government, university and commercial laboratories around the world, including facilities in New Zealand and Canada were contracted to perform various tests on the Ruyan electronic cigarette. Included in these facilities was Labstat, a highly regarded leader in their field of expertise since 1976. These independent results showed as follows 'Findings - Ruyan e-cigarette is designed to be a safe alternative to smoking. The various test result confirm this is the case. It is a very safe alternative to cigarette, and also safe in absolute terms on all measurements we have applied'

I then set about finding test results from some of the other electronic cigarettes ... and each and every example garnered similar results ... the independent test results show that although there are detectable levels of certain elements, which are found in all other approved nicotine based products already marketed, they are at levels below those determined to be harmful and well below the minimum risk levels accepted by the US Public Health Service and OSHA and you don't have to take my word for it ... go to my website Smoke-vs-Vapor.webs.com and see the results for yourself. Unlike the FDA, I really don't mind divulging the full results of their tests.

The electronic cigarette is in direct competition with the tobacco industry ... a market that the tobacco manufacturers have always controlled, since never before has there been a viable alternative to smoking. As a result of the FDAs 'Smoke and Mirrors Release' on July 22nd, it has been made abundantly clear that they do not intend to allow any product a place in the market, that may be in direct competition to their 'Cash Cow' the tobacco industry. Their FDA news release created a worldwide panic resulting in a product boycott, border bans, health warnings regarding the risks involved in using this product, some officials around the world have included the electronic cigarette in the public 'smoking bans'¯ and charges have even been leveled at some of the manufacturers for continuing to market and distribute this product.

The fact that the FDA led people to believe that the dangers associated with using this product were significant enough to warrant a boycott and ban, definitely sends a message, but the message it sends is that this agency, which is in place to safeguard our health, has ulterior motives and a completely separate agenda.

They would have you believe that there is cause for concern regarding the vapor that the electronic cigarette produces ... which is patently ridiculous. There is no burning of the ingredients, such as with the conventional cigarette and it is the burning process, which is required to create the toxic mix of over 4000 chemicals that form the deadly smoke that traditional cigarettes emit. The electronic cigarette utilizes a battery to heat the solution ... and easily compares in safety, to the other nicotine products already on the market. In fact the electronic cigarette tested lower than the Nicotrol Inhaler used as the control ... an 'approved' nicotine based product already on the market, which are used wherever and whenever. The persons utilizing these products have certainly not been forced to use it outside and I've never seen anyone running for their life and bolting out safety exits when someone uses one of the nicotine inhalers, pops a piece of nicotine gum or lozenge in their mouth or slaps on a nicotine patch. Why? Because these products have been tested and have been FDA approved, for use by the consumer.

They also expressed a deep concern that the electronic cigarette would be a stepping stone to smoking and they also claimed that the electronic cigarette is specifically marketed to young people since they are available in a variety of flavors ... forgetting of course that all the other nicotine replacement products already in the market place are available in a variety of flavors. I can't imagine how the nicotine gum ever reached the marketplace since it is also available in a variety of tantalizing flavors and we all know that, historically, gum is a product that has traditionally been aimed directly at our children. Using their same logic, I suppose we can easily assume that the other nicotine replacement product manufacturers deliberately, maliciously and intentionally set out to trap our young children into lifetime gum and lozenge addictions, although in actuality, I believe that it is much more likely that the manufacturers simply knew that a nicotine tasting product would never sell.

The electronic cigarette was designed as a safer alternative for the adult smoker and is advertised and sold to adult smokers. Countless independent studies have been performed regarding the safety of this product, which all confirm that they are as advertised ... a safer alternative and yet, this product has been banned for use by the smoking consumer it was intended for.

Quite honestly, I am outraged at the collective effort of the numerous agencies involved with this boycott and appalled that they would deliberately and without a moments hesitation, knowingly contribute to the hysteria regarding what can most definitely be considered a much safer alternative to the tobacco products. These are organizations that we ... the public ... have put our trust in. All I had to do, was look at the FDA report to realize what was going on and the fact that none of these individuals appear to have even bothered to confirm or disregard the findings in the FDA report shows an absolute disregard for the health, welfare and safety of the consumer and points to a blatant misuse of the authority they are empowered with.

For decades, tobacco products have been maiming and killing hundreds of thousands of people a year and yet, they still sit safely on the store shelves ... and make no mistake, aside from the profits realized annually, that is the only safe aspect of the tobacco industry. Countless hours of studies and research and trillions of dollars have been spent looking for a viable solution with which to lessen the risks associated with smoking. Now that there is product, which without a doubt, can help reduce those risks, they have ... in a collective effort removed it from the marketplace. To me, it is painfully obvious that, for years we have been lulled into a false sense of security and duped into believing that these organizations were looking after our best interests and our personal well-being.

As a result of their recent actions, I believe these individuals involved with the numerous associations, organizations, health care and government sectors worldwide ... deliberately set the boycott and subsequent ban of this product in motion in an effort to eliminate a potential competitor from the marketplace, so as to maintain the status quo for their 'Cash Cow'¯ the tobacco industry. In doing so, this decision has held the smoking population hostage to a product that is proven to kill and I believe they should be held accountable for their actions. Since these individuals knowingly and deliberately chose to disregard their main objective, which is our health and welfare ... I would ask that resignations be tendered immediately from all parties involved. I would also expect a complete and thorough investigation into this matter, by an impartial third party and furthermore, I would also suggest a complete and separate organization be formed to regulate this new product since it is abundantly clear that the FDA can not be trusted to do so.
