The very invention of Electronic cigarette ( or E-Cigarette) could be a cure of the tobacco addiction, or that’s what Mr. Hon Lik would have thought when he invented it. As this comparatively new invention has not been that popular in markets, many health researchers, experts and market Moguls are skeptical about it. An interesting statement by WHO actually strangled the future of Electronic cigarette by saying that it has no possibility or effect to replace the tobacco addiction. Thus what we see right now is a cool new gadget invented for non-smokers to get accustomed to smoking. Since it has been rejected by smokers in general for just being fake.
Now faking the smoke does not necessary be problem free as the Electronic cigarette makers had claimed because in these cigarettes there is nicotine vapor which is not tested and proved by experts unanimously. Thus the very reason to smoke an electronic cigarette cant reduce your worries about tobacco completely. And that’s why WHO states that its just an another tobacco product if you put that in a market with Medical claims. That pretty much clears the ‘smoke’ away from the Electronic Cigarette.
If we look at the not-so-simple mechanism of the Electronic Cigarette, we see a device, liquids to create smoke and atomizers. Without getting into the details of the mechanism we shall see the vital parts of it which is the liquid they use for smoke. This liquid is a nicotine solution. When a person smokes an Electronic Cigarette he smokes the nicotine solution. And in the exhaled smoke all we get is nicotine vapor which is definitely not good for passive smoking.
Right now Electronic cigarette is legal in many countries like china and UK. Many other countries like Netherlands, Sweden and Norway had legalized the use of Electronic cigarette but without using the nicotine vapor. Many other countries have few or bended regulation on this product. An invention to replace an addiction becomes more fearful than the addiction. Electronic Cigarette is an example.
