How Stupid Is It To Keep Tobacco Legal And Ban E Cigarettes

Sometimes some things that go on in this world just do not make any sense at all no matter how you look at it. One such example is how hard the FDA and others are continuing to try their best to ban electronic cigarettes. Tobacco smokers have finally found a different way to still get the nicotine they want to use, which is perfectly legal by the way, and the main ingredient that smokers want from the tobacco they smoke. The things that electronic cigarettes do not have in vast amounts are the other deadly chemicals that are found in tobacco for sure.

Arsenic, formaldehyde, benzene, and so many other chemicals are in tobacco that you can hardly count them. Does the nicotine solution that is used for e cigarette cartridges have any chemical content that could be considered bad for you? Well yes, because nicotine for one is not good for you and tobacco smokers already know this. The few others things in the solution are not great for you either, but how bad are they when compared to what a smoker inhales from tobacco smoke? This is what smokers want to know. E cigarette users are not ignorant as to the safety of the product. They realize that it is not a perfect alternative to smoking tobacco, but they do believe it is a much better choice than smoking tobacco.

If using one thing is less harmful to a person than using another thing, why would the FDA want to ban the least harmful thing and continue to allow the use of the most deadly thing? This is exactly what is happening with electronic cigarettes. E cigarette makers are not claiming that there are no health risks involved with using the device, only that when compared to smoking tobacco, there are likely much less of them. What e cigarettes makers are offering to tobacco smokers is a different way to get the nicotine they want. Remember, getting nicotine from tobacco is perfectly legal.

Why does the FDA think it should be illegal to get it from an e cigarette? You can get it from nicotine patches and gum at almost any store without a prescription because they claim that these products help people to quit smoking. How many people do these products actually help to quit when it is calculated how many people buy them with that expectation and yet do not end up quitting? People spend millions of dollars every year using nicotine patches and gum and and still can not quit.

At least e cigarette manufacturers are openly honest that their product is not designed to help you quit smoking. It is just an alternative to tobacco smoking. Hopefully, it will soon be proven without a doubt that e cigarettes are the lesser of two evils. That is all manufacturers are claiming for the most part. It is simply senseless to ban a less harmful product and allow the deadliest of the two to remain legal. Anyone with common sense can understand this, why can't the people at the FDA?
