Nicotine treats neurological disorders
Nicotine is a mild stimulant and addictive, much like caffeine. It’s only when nicotine is abused such as teens seeking a ‘heady’ that it becomes a problem. Nicotine in eliquid helps smokers transition to a source of nicotine that doesn’t kill them.
Nicotine is in your body
It’s the smoke that kills people, not the nicotine. Vaping has no smoke. Dr. John Britton of the U.K. Center for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies explains that nicotine addiction isn’t a big deal because “…nicotine itself isn’t particularly hazardous.”
Nicotine is less addictive than smoke
Over decades, scientists were paid millions of dollars ? to add different chemicals to tobacco & make them more addictive. Many of the chemicals in cigarettes enhance the effects and delivery of nicotine. Some chemicals are addictive in themselves.
The Royal College of Physicians
The Royal College of Physicians reviewed the science on vaping. In April 2016, they released the report, Nicotine without Smoke: “…the likely harm to health and society of e-cigarettes at about 5% of the burden caused by tobacco smoking.”
Fraction of the harm
Science doesn’t change because of political borders! The effects of cigarette smoke are the same for humans everywhere in the world. It makes them sick then die slow painful deaths. Nicotine eliquid is a harm reduction for smokers anywhere in the world.
Not the nicotine which causes harm
Inhaling smoke from anything has toxins. With cigarettes, up to 600 chemicals are added to the tobacco which makes the smoke even more toxic. Vapour is not smoke, nothing is burned. The ingredients are PG, VG, flavours and maybe nicotine.
