Say Yes To Electronic Cigarettes And No To Incidents
Sunday, September 4th, 2011Most of the time maximum amount of attention is focused on the health risks associated with smoking. But, if you are not smoking electronic cigarettes there are lots of accidents that could trigger from your use of traditional tobacco-based cigarettes.
Fire is one of the most common accidents related with traditional cigarettes while ecigarettes are free from that. The fires triggered by tobacco-based cigarettes can lead to damage of both human life and millions of dollars of property. Not using e-cigarettes, but sticking to traditional cigarettes can also cause automobile accidents. It is the basic structure of the traditional cigarette that can help you better understand the seriousness of the accidents that it can cause. A tobacco-based cigarette is generally made from dried and finely ground tobacco leaves. The tobacco and other chemicals are then wrapped and rolled inside a paper that controls the rate of burning. The main objective of the chemicals is to keep the cigarette burning. On the other hand, ecigarettes use e-cigarette atomizers and cartridges which are refillable with e-juice which is safe.
It is to be noted that when a cigarette is not being used, the inner temperature reaches 1112°F and on the sides it can reach 752°F. Comparatively, there is no fire or flame inside an electronic cigarette. A traditional cigarette is one of the main reasons for loss of property due to accidental fire. As per a report in 2007 the loss of property due to fires originating in the use of traditional cigarettes in a period of 5 years in 6 states was more than $139 million.
Road traffic accidents are mainly caused due to inattention during driving. And, tasks related to smoking are one of the major reasons for causing road accidents. Compared to an e-cig, a tobacco based cigarette is required to be lighted using a fire source, commonly a lighter. Compared to a normal driver, a driver who smokes a traditional flame based cigarette is 2 to 3 times more likely to cause an accident. An e-cigarette is simple and easier to use as the user just needs to press a button or simply drag a puff.
When you are using an e-cig there is no chance that you can cause a forest fire because there is no flame at all in your e-cig. A number of forest fires are caused every year due to improper disposal of burning cigarettes. Every year thousands of acres of forests get gutted, leaving apart the loss of wildlife as an additional cost. But, when you are using an e-cig near a forest there is no threat of a fire because e-cigs don’t contain any flame or smoke, but water vapors.
When using an e-cig, you don’t have to worry about any burning damage. Additionally, even when you are driving, you don’t have to get concerned with your e-cigarette because you can continue to use it without using both of your hands. Pressing a button or taking a puff is all that is required to start an e-cigarette, which is much easier than lighting a traditional cigarette.
