Are you a regular smoker? Tobacco or E-cig?

If you’ve never really known the difference between the two, besides the fact that you’re smoking vapour instead of Tobacco, and it’s cool cause now you can smoke indoors too without peeps getting pissed-off…

Well some research has been done (of course) on the difference between the craving of the two…

E-cigarettes, which contain anywhere from 100 to 1000 times fewer toxic substances than tobacco cigarettes, significantly reduce tobacco cravings, according to a new study.

Hoping to answer to whether e-cigs decreased the urge to smoke tobacco cigarettes or the urge to smoke altogether, researchers at KU Leven followed 48 smokers who did not plan to quit for eight months. The smokers were split into three groups, two of which could both vape and smoke tobacco cigarettes for the first two months, and the third of which could only smoke tobacco cigarettes.

In the second stage of the study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, the third (control) group was given e-cigarettes as well.

Long-term smokers were likely to trade in tobacco cigarettes for e-cigs: 21% stopped smoking tobacco entirely, and an additional 23% cut the number of tobacco cigarettes they smoked per day in half. Across all groups, the number of tobacco cigarettes smoked was cut by 60%.

So there you have it, e-cigs are the way to go. Still addictive, but way healthier. Until the next piece of research anyway…
