DOSSIER: 14 studies that refute the criticisms of the e-cigarette!

They try to make us believe that there is a lack of study on the e-cigarette but as we know it is only a myth. Many people assume that the electronic cigarette has not been studied in detail simply because the research is not published by the mainstream national media. However, as we know, there are already many clinical trials and research projects that have achieved promising results for vaping. Here's a look at some of the most important studies we've seen to date.


1) Steam contains nicotine but no toxins related to combustion!


The Oxford Journal published a study in December 2013 where scientists looked at vapor releases to check for the presence of toxin. They found that no combustion-related toxins were present in the e-cigarette vapor and only a small amount of nicotine was detectable. However, it was concluded that further studies were needed to determine whether there was a risk from exposure to nicotine in vapor releases.

2) The e-cigarette does not touch the arteries!


The Onassis Heart Surgery Center in Greece compared the impact of e-cigarettes and tobacco on the heart. Researchers have found that smoking even two cigarettes will cause arterial stiffness, unlike e-cigarettes, which will have no effect on your arteries.

3) The "Aromas" of the e-cigarette help smokers reduce their tobacco consumption.


Dr Konstantino Farsalinos led a study to determine whether flavored e-liquids had an impact on smokers looking to quit. He concluded that the flavors in e-liquids are important contributors in reducing and eliminating tobacco consumption. "

4) Tobacco kills, e-cigarettes are regulated ...


Dr. Gilbert Ross, medical and executive director of the American Council on Science and Health offered a comprehensive report on e-cigarettes, concluding that vape is much healthier than tobacco according to common sense. He suggested that e-cig regulation could be a fatal decision for public health.

5) The e-cigarette is effective for stopping smoking and preventing relapse.


Researchers from the University of Auckland and the University of Geneva have studied the impact of e-cigarettes on former smokers. They concluded that e-cigs could prevent former smokers from relapsing into tobacco and that it could actually help smokers quit permanently.

6) The e-cigarette is not a gateway to tobacco for teenagers.


Dr. Ted Wagener of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center studied the impact of e-cigarette use on 1.300 students. He found that only a person who started with the e-cigarette went on to use tobacco. He therefore concluded that the e-cig is not a gateway to smoking.

7) E-liquids have no harmful effects on the heart!


The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health published a study on the impact of e-liquids on the heart. After testing 20 different e-liquids, the researchers concluded that the vapor does not have a detrimental effect on heart cells.

8) The e-cig has no impact on the oxygenation of the heart.


Dr Konstantino Farsalinos studied how the oxygenation of the heart is impacted by the use of e-cigarettes. He concluded that the vape had no impact on oxygen supply and coronary circulation. These results were revealed at the European Society of Cardiology Annual Congress in Amsterdam in 2013.

9) E-liquids are not a concern for public health.


Professor Igor Burstyn of the Drexel University School of Public Health studied e-liquids to determine if the chemicals included could be harmful. He refuted all the possibilities of the most prevalent health problems regarding e-liquids.

10) Switching to e-cigarettes improves health.


Independent university researchers carried out a study to find out whether switching to e-cigs had an influence on health. They concluded that 91% of smokers who switched to e-cigarettes had improved health. They also noted that 97% had reduced or completely eliminated chronic cough.

12) The e-cigarette is an effective alternative to tobacco!


The University of Catania conducted a study to find out if e-cigs were as effective as smoking cessation devices. After six months, nearly 25% of participants had quit smoking completely. More than 50% had halved their tobacco consumption.

13) The e-cigarette does not cause any major impact on the respiratory functions


The researchers compared the direct and indirect effects of steam to learn if there was an impact on our respiratory function. The result shows that passive exposure to cigarette smoke is more damaging to lung function than direct exposure to e-cigarette vapor. They concluded that the e-cig did not cause any acute respiratory impact.

14) No risk for passive vaping.


In a French study, researchers found that e-cig vapor dissipated within 11 seconds on average. In contrast, cigarette smoke stays on average for over 20 minutes. They concluded that exposure to e-cigarette vapor does not cause public risk.
