Non Cigarettes Ingredients…

The ingredients in non cigarettes varies slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer.

It also vaires depending on the “flavor”.

We will just cover Non CigarettesĀ MAIN ingredients here.

The key thing to keep in mind when looking at the ingredients, is to compare them to what is in tobacco, and what naturally is produced by burning the tobacco.

The main ingredients in Non Cigarettes (or electronic cigarettes) are:
Water
Propylene Glycol
Nicotine
scent and flavoring

So lets break it down….

Water.
Enough said.

Proplyene Glycol.
This is the one that has people scratching their heads the most. Proplyene Glycol has been deemed SAFE by the US FDA. Its primary ingredients are Glycol (this is an organic compound from the alcohol family, commonly used in antifreeze).
And Proplyene, which is basically a derivitave of Propane. If you think for a second, “How can THAT be safe to ingest?”, think about this. Go look at a can of cooking spray, or your shaving cream, or any number of common household products, and see what the main propellent used in it is.

Nicotine.
Well, it depends on the study you read. Generally speaking, Nicotine itself is toxic to the body -in large doses- just like many other things in life. For instance, alcoholic beverages! If you drink too much booze, you can die. But, Nicotine in small doses, ASIDE from the strong addictive power it has, has no long term or short term ill effects on the human body. Interestingly, this is not unlike HEROIN, which is also highly addictive, can be lethal if the dose is too high, yet has no harmful effects long term on the human body. According to a Doctor we know, her Professor at Med School (A Doctor of course) used to use Nicotine Patches every day. NOT to quit smoking, the man never smoked a day in his life! But for the BENEFITS of Nicotine iself! It made him feel sharper mentally, more awake, and got a little energy from it. Makes sense, nicotine is a stimulant!
On a side note, Nicotine is found naturally in OTHER plants besides tobacco! Like: Pepper, Tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants!

Scent and Flavoring.
Well, this depends on the flavor and manufacturer! Normally these are food-grade quality natural and or artifical flavors, just like used in many foods that are made.

It is very important to realize that none of these ingredients are considered to be carcenogenics. In other words, these ingredients do not cause cancer! Nicotine does not cause cancer, it never has. It’s just the ADDICTIVE part of the tobacco!
Cigarettes and cigars, meanwhile, commonly contain tobacco, hundreds if not thousands of additives, nicotine. Plus the glue and paper, which when burned, according to the Centers for Disease Control, harm nearly every organ of the body and cause cancer. Not to mention the damage to the cardiovascular and respiratory system.

If you are worreid about the health factors, you should certainly consult your physician! We know what our Doctor said though. “A thousand times healthier than smoking cigarettes, to yourself and everyone AROUND you”. It is also important for you to realize, we ARE biased here! We believe that Non Cigarettes are a very healthy alternative to smoking, and have recomended them to our own Friends, Family, and even our own CHILDREN. We would not do that if we did not believe in our hearts that Non Cigarettes were not healthier than cigarettes.
