It’s no surprise to any individual that smoking is damaging to our health. And those health risks apply to not only the smoker, but also any bystanders that may be near the smoker through used smoke effects. Due to the damaging effects of second hand smoke, lately laws were passed banning smoking in public areas.
Smoking is one of the leading causes of death through sicknesses like lung cancer, coronary and stroke. Smoking also causes a number of other cosmetic issues, such as teeth yellowing, epidermal discoloration, accelerated aging and hair loss. If these effects were exclusive to the smoker, there may not have been so much support to enact the new laws banning smoking in public areas. But as the smoke is gratuitous and can have the same effects on any one close to the smoker, the new laws were implemented banning smoking in public to offer protection to the innocent onlookers in those public areas.
Studies have shown that the tobacco leaf itself contains about 1,000 different chemicals, but the burning end of a Marlboro is an extraordinary chemical factory that produces thousands of new chemicals. Tobacco smoke is understood to carry more than four thousand different chemical compounds, almost all of which are considered deadly to the human body.
Medical research has shown that frequent exposure to second-hand smoke may cause a number of health issues and diseases,eg bronchitis and pneumonia. Used smoke not only damages the lungs and skin, but it also has been shown to affect the brain, heart, and bones and even cause a range of different cancers. If a smoker lights up at home, their family is then exposed to the used smoke and is similarly susceptible to all of its deleterious effects. Accordingly, laws further to those banning smoking in public places, have also been enacted stopping tobacco product corporations from advertising on television, radio and in numerous magazines in the hopes that this will help inspire users to quit smoking all together.
Fortunately for smokers, modern technology has given a more healthy alternative choice to conventional cigarette smoking, and that’s the electronic cigarette. Electronic cigarettes provide the user with the nicotine dose they crave and it does it without producing real smoke. Consequently, users and onlookers are not in peril of the dangerous aftermath of real smoke. In addition, electronic cigarettes aren’t hit with the tobacco taxes that ordinary cigarettes are, so they can be {less expensive|cheaper}. And because they aren’t officially smoking, electronic cigarettes sometimes are not limited by the laws banning smoking in public places.
obviously, for any smoker that’s worried about the dangerous effects their ciggie smoke is causing themselves and their family, the advantages of electronic cigarettes are hard to deny.
