E-Cigarettes Pose No Risk of Heart Disease


eRollElectronic cigarettes used by smokers who want to kick the habit show no connection to heart disease, according to a study that adds to evidence of health benefits of switching from tobacco to smokeless alternatives.

E-cigarettes, electronic tubes that simulate the effect of smoking by producing nicotine vapor, prompted no adverse effects on cardiac function in the study, researchers from the Athens- based Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center said in a report presented at the European Society of Cardiology annual meeting in Munich today.

Investigators examined the heart activity of 20 young daily smokers after one ordinary cigarette against 22 people who smoked an electronic cigarette for 7 minutes. Whereas tobacco smokers showed “significant” disruptions of functions such as heartbeats or blood pressure, the effect of e-cigarettes on the heart was minimal, Konstantinos Farsalinos, one of the researchers, said in the presentation.

“Currently available data suggest that electronic cigarettes are far less harmful, and substituting tobacco with electronic cigarettes may be beneficial to health,” Farsalinos said.

Previous studies have found that the electronic devices would have to be smoked daily for four to 12 months to achieve the levels of nitrosamines, a carcinogen, that are present in a single tobacco cigarette, the researchers said. Industrywide e- cigarette sales this year are likely to double from $250 million in 2011, according to UBS AG.

Psychological Effects
Electronic cigarettes, which mimic the look and feel of traditional versions without generating smoke and ash, are one of the few smoking alternatives that provide users with their chemical need for nicotine and reproduce the psychological effect of holding and smoking a cigarette, the researcher said.

Makers of the battery-powered devices include Lorillard Inc. (LO), a Greensboro, North Carolina-based producer of standard cigarettes, which acquired Blue Ecigs for $135 million in April. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has yet to impose rules on the testing and production of e-cigarettes.

About 2.5 million people use e-cigarettes in the U.S., according to an estimate by the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association.

Although nicotine is present in the devices’ vapor, it is absorbed by the blood at a far slower rate than tobacco smoke, accounting for the lower levels of toxicity, Farsalinos said. No traces of nitrosamine were found in the e-cigarettes in the study, he said.

Staying clean and green!

 Leonardo DiCaprio lights up an electronic cigarette to get his nicotine fix on film set


He reportedly tried to help friend Robert Pattinson quit smoking at the end of last year.
And Leonardo DiCaprio is seemingly becoming an expert at quitting the bad habit himself as he was spotted puffing on an electronic cigarette on the set of his new movie.
The actor – who is filming The Wolf of Wall Street – could be seen with the nifty device in his hand as he sat inside an eatery in East Harlem, New York.

Leo seemed in good spirits in between recording scenes at Rao's Restaurant, smiling as he got his nicotine fix in a healthier way than using a normal cigarette. The star happily blew out rings of smoke between takes while filming on his last day for new movie.
The 38-year-old was dressed in a suit which he wore a blue shirt and red tie under.
He also hung on to the electronic cigarette as he traipsed the streets in the more casual ensemble of loose blue jeans and a maroon jumper.

Enjoying the motions

Hopefully his Twilight star friend has had the same will power with trying to give up the bad habit himself.
Robert has been close with him since Leo reached out following his Kristen Stewart cheating scandal, asking if he wanted to party.
He was also seen smoking the same thing last May on the set of DJango Unchained.

Unfortunately for him, he plays the role of chain-smoking villain Calvin Candie in the Quentin Tarantino film so it must have been a hard battle between tasting the real thing.
DiCaprio plays a deranged plantation owner in the movie which is about a man trying to rescue his wife from the hands of Leo’s character.
It also stars other big names including Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell.

Big Tobacco Is Ready

Want to Quit Smoking? – Big Tobacco Is Ready


tobacco electronic cigaretteIf you vowed to stop smoking in 2013, Big Tobacco won't be caught off guard. The industry is quickly moving into the manufacturing and sale of electronic cigarettes, a business which Bonnie Herzog at Wells Fargo said brought in $400 million to $500 million in sales in 2012 and will "at least" double in 2013.

"We're actually predicting that consumption of e-cigs could surpass consumption of traditional cigarettes in the next decade," she said. The technology used in making these tobacco-free, battery-powered products is increasingly making them more lifelike.

"I'm a smoker and I could not quit smoking," said John Cameron, brother of Oscar winning director James Cameron.
About the time James was releasing "Avatar," John decided to get healthy. He took his first puff of an e-cigarette and got hooked. Now he's CEO of Safecig, an e-cigarette company.

"I can tell you that this is a revolutionary product. It will change the human race," he said. "It will change our relation to technology. It will change our relation to addiction."
Safecig uses technology and components which Cameron said are often found in cellphones. These help recreate the look, heat, taste, smell, and feel of smoking tobacco. Even the packaging mimics a regular pack of cigarettes. But instead of "smoking," users inhale liquid nicotine heated into a vapor, without tobacco or tar.

Why bother, when you can buy nicotine gum or patches? Often it's hard to quit because smokers miss the act of smoking. "It's probably 60 to 70 percent — the experience," Cameron said.
Other brands in the space include Njoy and Vapor Corp., which trades as a penny stock. China-based Joyetech has been a pioneer in electronic cigarettes, but as rivals began multiplying last year, the company filed suit against ten American firms, including Safecig, alleging patent violations.
