Electronic cigarettes

One of the main reasons for the manufacturer of e-cigarettes in their defense is the claim that these tobacco products allegedly significantly reduce the risk that their consumer tries real cigarettes.

But scientists from the United States found that it is just a myth.

Set of arguments fans a new method of administration of nicotine in the body and, of course, manufacturers of e-cigarettes are not very rich, but it all boils down to two main points.

As supporters of "electronic smoking" first inhaling vapor enriched with nicotine, which is formed by heating a special cartridge substantially harmless in comparison with conventional products of combustion of tobacco.

Second, the ease of administration of nicotine in the body with the help of electronic cigarettes allegedly never force them to go to the ordinary consumer "rough" smoking - this is an obstacle to replenish the army at the expense of youth smokers.

But U.S. researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (University of California at San Francisco) reported that in fact the consumption of electronic cigarettes increases the risk that people who are used to them eventually move to regular cigarettes.

The study's authors surveyed 40,000 high school students and university students and found that over the past two years, the number of boys and girls in this age group who use electronic cigarettes has increased by more than 2 times - from 3.1% to 6.5%.

But the truly shocking was open to scientists of another phenomenon: it was found that among consumers of e-cigarettes are not less than 50% while smoking conventional tobacco products.
