What are Electronic Cigarettes?

If you are thinking of talking these up, you must already be aware what are e-cigarettes? E-cigarettes, for the uninitiated, are battery powered devices that look like normal cigarettes but are far less damaging.

How Electronic Cigarettes Work?

Invented in 2003 by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, the e-cigarettes contain liquid nicotine. When the device is turned on, an internal atomizer draws battery power and heats up the liquid producing vapors. A person puffs the e-cigarette mouthpiece to smoke the vapors.

Tobacco Free Electronic Cigarettes

E-cigarettes do not contain tobacco. But they have a tobacco essence which gives the liquid vapor a tobacco flavor.

Electronic Cigarette Advantages

E-cigarettes have several advantages over traditional ones, such as

Absence of toxicity

Toxic elements like Tobacco, Carbon Monoxide, Sulfuric Acid, Tar and additives are absent in e-cigarettes. This makes them much safer than normal cigarettes. About 4,000 carcinogenic substances are absent in these devices. E-cigarettes have little risk of having serious health diseases like cancer or asthma.

Absence of stains

The presence of nicotine is the reason for yellowing of hands and fingers of smokers. Liquid nicotine vapors disappear very quickly and leave no stains.

Absence of flames

Unlike traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes do not have to be lighted. This makes them safe to be used in bed and places that can catch fire easily. When it is turned on, an orange LED light at the top serves as the only indicator.

Low cost

E-cigarettes are cheaper than normal ones. A pack of 5 e-cigarettes are available in as less as $6.50. The liquid contained in each cigarette can also be refilled.

Electronic Cigarette Disadvantages

All is not hunky-dory with e-cigarettes. Despite being apparently harmless, they have some negative aspects that make health experts cry over their safety standard.

Nicotine

Many natural foods like Potato, Pepper, Eggplant and Tomato contain Nicotine in small doses. But nicotine can be classified as a drug when it is not a part of natural substances. Prolonged exposure to nicotine can increase heartbeat, blood pressure and appetite. It can also serve to relax the brain and reduce pain. Over time, nicotine becomes an addiction. This can make e-cigarettes as difficult to get rid of as normal cigarettes.

Absence of safety

No major tests have proved that e-cigarettes are absolutely safe. FDA has classified e-cigarettes as “drug-delivery devices” and warned five US manufacturers of the devices.

Availability in different flavors

The liquid contained inside electronic cigarettes come in a variety of flavors like orange, mint, chocolate, vanilla, menthol and cherry apart from tobacco. This can make them very attractive for non-smokers as well as children and promote smoking habit in a different way.

Electronic Cigarettes are not absolutely safe for your health. But they are a safer choice over actual cigarettes any day. If you want to rely on them to quit smoking, you may be disappointed. But if you cannot give up smoking these can be a healthier alternative over traditional tobacco-cigarettes.

Hence, people are now thinking of taking some steps to find better health products that are made from natural ingredients so that they can use them for long term without having any side effects.

Boiron is the world leader of homeopathic medicines and recently The Hartman Group did a study for them where they found out more about the market trends and how people buy over the counter medications.

In the study they found that 82% of the women shoppers in the United States are aware of the problems that they can have when they buy a particular medicine and therefore these women who do household shopping for their family make sure that they buy some medicines that are made from natural ingredients and plant extracts.

It was found that more than 31% of the people check the list of ingredients in the medicines before they actually buy them.

The survey included more than 1400 women from across the United States who provided better picture of what they think of when buying over the counter medications.

It was found in the survey that although most of them look for No Side Effects criteria there are many who are not aware of the homeopathic medicines available in the market.

These women were also provided with Oscillo homeopathic medicine to try it out for their health problems like flu, fever, body chills and headache. All the participants were given information about the benefits of homeopathic medicines and more than one third of the people attending the research liked it. Around 15% of the people stated that they had found this information on the web and have lately started using homeopathic medicine because it does not have side effects on human body.

FOOD WASTE which includes uneaten prepared food, a portions of trimmings and meals from food preparation activities in kitchens, restaurants and cafeterias. It is the third-largest component of waste   which is generated by weight but because of its low composting rate, food waste is the considered as the largest component of discarded waste by weight.

It is a serious economic problem as the household food waste alone adds up to $43 billion. On an average, households waste is around 14% of their food purchases. 15% of that includes products still within their expiration date but never opened. Stopping food waste is a major issue and it’s not just about good food going to waste but it also wasting food costs the family. According to a study few years back it has been estimated that an average family of 4 people currently losses out $590 per year, just in meat, fruits, vegetables and grain products not only that it also has various environmental implication.

Stopping food waste would not only help in bring economic savings but will also go a long way to reduce serious environmental problems. Food waste which not only contributes to the excess consumption of freshwater but it also adds to fossil fuels which releases methane and CO2 emissions in the air from decomposing food which impacts the global climate. Methane gas which is 21 times more damaging and harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide (CO2) and produces as a lot of heat in the atmosphere as CO2.

Some of the main reasons for wastage of foods are, busy lifestyles, bad habits, poor planning and too large share sizes for both ready to eat and prepared food.

Therefore in order to get a healthier tomorrow the process of stopping food waste should be carried on from today itself and Sodexco has just initiated that.

Parenting can be tiring and most of the times parenthood can be very different from what you had always dreamt of when you were going through your pregnancy. Especially homework time for a growing child can be quite cumbersome for the parent as well.
