Study of cancer-causing toxins finds e-cigarettes much safer than smoking<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nThis can lead one to think that e-cigs are a healthy alternative. And at first, it’s a bit of a no brainer.\u00a0Let’s say you stop breathing in tar and benzine and formaldehyde and all the other Acme Jr Chemistry set of tobacco toxicity into your body.<\/p>\n
But anything you do is healthier than that. It’s really hard to image the conditions that would not be better for your body. So yes, e-cigs are within the infinite set of things that are also better for you than the cancer delivery device of cigarettes.<\/p>\n
By the way, the report wasn’t just about e-cigs, but also showing that if you\u00a0applied the patch or chewed the nicotine gum you’d also have less of the toxins that you’re no longer breathing in. Again, no kidding.<\/p>\n
In essence, they made the conclusions out to be a bit different than they warrant. Are e-cigs better than breathing in terrible chemicals into your body every day? Yeah, but so is the gum and the patch and buttermilk cornbread.<\/p>\n
It’s like\u00a0doing a study to conclude that “Reading a book is better for your brain than banging your head against a brick wall until unconscious.” The issue about the book is neither here nor there. Everything is better for you than banging your head against a wall until unconscious.<\/p>\n
So here’s the point. This article will make many think that it’s healthy. But it’s not a healthy alternative at all, just a healthier alternative.\u00a0Words matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
