GAINESVILLE, Fla., Aug.
25 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent
laboratory study performed
at the request of the Food
and Drug Administration
revealed ingredients in
e-cigarettes that skeptics
suspected all along. The
minuscule presence of
diethylene glycol, an
ingredient that is found in
antifreeze and certain
levels of nitrosamines,
were found in some
cartridges.
Concern over the safety
of these products is at a
peak and the opposition
questions the effects of
the product on people's
health as well as the
theory that the different
flavored cartridges will
attract children.
"When I think of the
type of person that would
use an e-cigarette, I think
of a person who wants a
good alternative to real
cigarettes, not a child or
a non-smoker," says Juliet
Herstrom, a supporter of
e-cigarettes. "It's not
labeled as a cessation
device, but they can't
control what people try to
use it for."
The e-cigarette is
neither a cessation device
nor has it been classified
by the FDA as of this
time.
"It matters, of course,
that there is the presence
of this chemical in
e-cigarettes," continues
Herstrom. "But given the
choice between the two, the
smarter choice for a smoker
is the e-cigarette. Hands
down."
Another supporter of
e-cigarettes, Michael
Norton, sounds off. "It's
ridiculous. It really is.
They find a single chemical
in the e-liquid and
suddenly e-cigarettes are
dangerous. How about the
fact that tobacco
cigarettes contain this
same chemical and thousands
of others at higher
concentrations? How come
those nicotine patches and
inhalers are allowed to be
sold? Why is there all of
this concern when there are
already products that
deliver nicotine?"
Jennifer Corcoran, a
supporter and user of
e-cigarettes, declares that
"there will be war in the
courtroom if any law is
passed that prohibits the
sale of these devices."
She, among others, believes
that the e-cigarette could
truly help smokers stop
smoking. "I'm on month 3,
and I haven't smoked a
cigarette since I turned to
the e-cigarette. If these
are banned, the FDA will
have hell to pay!"
Amidst the controversy,
the e-cigarette, a product
that could very well
revolutionize the smoking
industry, has collected the
loyalty of its
supporters.
