GAINESVILLE, FL, June 23, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Despite import bans and negative statements made by public health officials, both the use and support of e-cigarettes is rising.
"People are finding out about the
e-cigarette at a faster pace than expected," says George Archer, Public Relations Manager of Electroniccigarettesusa.info. "A smoker simply finding out this product exists is the first step toward a better smoking experience. You don't have the hacking and the coughing that tobacco cigarettes give you and you can feel good about buying them because they're cheaper and even greener than the tobacco version."
While most smokers aren't switching to e-cigarettes only because they're greener, the environmental impact could be phenomenal. Cigarette butts are the most frequently littered item in the world, with approximately 4.5 trillion butts cast to the ground worldwide every year. Not only that, but when cigarette butts come into contact with water, the chemicals are leeched out of them. This can be dangerous because the average cigarette butt contains lead, cadmium, acetone, and other hazardous chemicals.
"With all the pharmaceuticals and chemicals that have been found in our water supply within the past few years, it's a wonder we're not all walking around with three eyes and flippers," says Archer. "Removing one of the largest sources of litter in the United States would affect the environment in a very positive way."
Depending on a smoker's habit, the average e-cigarette cartridge can last up to the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes after they become accustomed to using them. The cost ends up being around $2 a cartridge, which is much cheaper than the typical cost of at least $5 per pack of cigarettes.
Another reason many are making the switch is due to the lack of the need for an ash tray or other way to dispose of the ashes, because there are none. Getting rid of the tobacco odor is also a factor in the switch.
"They are definitely cleaner than traditional cigarettes," Archer states. "Who wants to walk around smelling like an ash tray?"
