From the comparison below, we can see that e-cigarettes can be used multiple times, the emissions are controlled below 8% of traditional cigarettes, and the impact on the environment is greatly reduced compared with traditional cigarettes: e-cigarettes can also provide products without nicotine content.
The difference between electronic cigarettes and traditional cigarettes
| Items | Cigarette | E-cigarette |
|---|---|---|
| Working principle | direct burning of tobacco | heating e-juice |
| Usage count | Disposable | Can be used multiple times, need to replace e-liquid or one-time long-term use |
| Portability | Portable, but in small quantities | Relative cigarettes are heavier and lighter depending on the exterior material (metal, plastic) and type (replaceable and disposable) |
| Smoke | High | Middle |
| Release | 8% of conventional tobacco | Depends on e-juice (e-juice can be divided into high nicotine content Low-gutine e-juice and nicotine-free e-liquid) |
| Tar content | high | without |
| Carcinogen | high | Low |
| Taste | Many flavors to choose from | Many flavors to choose from |
| Price | Prices vary, and the price includes a large proportion of tax | Atomizers and batteries are reusable for a lower overall cost |
The chemicals inhaled when smoking or vaping are the main difference people choose to start vaping. When you smoke a conventional cigarette, you're ingesting more than 4,000 different chemicals and 50 carcinogens. Smoking has been attributed to various health conditions such as heart attack, stroke, lung disease and cancer. Here are some of the chemicals found in conventional cigarettes and tobacco smoke:
Acetone - This chemical is also found in nail polish removers
Acetic acid - in hair dye
Ammonia - a common household cleaner
Arsenic - in rat poison
Benzene - found in rubber cement and gasoline
Butane - for lighter fluids
Cadmium - the active ingredient in battery acid
Carbon monoxide - released in car exhaust
Formaldehyde - antiseptic solution
Hexamine - present in barbecue lighter fluids
Lead - for batteries
Naphthalene – an ingredient in mothballs
Methanol - the main component of rocket fuel
Tar - a material for paving
Toluene - used to make paint
The electronic cigarette is a non-combustible electronic atomization device. It adopts advanced microelectronic technology and physical atomization technology to atomize the nicotine dilution extracted from tobacco into smoke, and humanizedly simulates the whole process of smoking. . The main components of e-liquid are VG (vegetable glycerin), PG (food grade propylene glycol), food grade spices, nicotine (optionally added) and water. VG and PG are commonly used food additives and are not harmful to the human body. Moreover, there is no combustion process in electronic cigarettes, so tar and second-hand smoke will not be produced, thus eliminating many carcinogens in traditional tobacco. The UK Department of Health released a study in 2005 that proved that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than combustible cigarettes.
Compared with cigarettes, electronic cigarettes have the characteristics of no open flame, no soot, no yellow teeth, odor of smoke, and second-hand smoke, because the smoke of electronic cigarettes itself is water vapor, and does not produce tar like cigarettes. substance.
