I've seen articles in the recent past stating that e-cigarettes are just as harmful, if not more so, than regular cigarettes. This is probably disinformation to keep people on tobacco cigarettes, and working toward the depopulation agenda, and lining the elite's pockets!
The UK has conducted a study that proves the opposite to e-cigarettes being as harmful as real tobacco cigarettes. That's great news for people wishing to quit. It's a shame that we have to look to other countries for the truth regarding products here in the U.S.
I had been a smoker since my late teens until last year. It was then that I started going back and forth from real cigarettes to the vapor to help save money. December 28, 2014 was my last day to smoke a real cigarette; I haven't picked one up again since. If I had not had the vapor, or e-cigs, to help me through it, I would still be smoking.
So, to anyone who is struggling to find a way to quit, give the vapor, or e-cigs a try.
Different brands taste different and some work better than others, so don't give up; you'll find the one that's right for you, and you can begin your journey of becoming a non-smoker too.

A new report published in the U.K. has concluded that e-cigarettes are nowhere near as harmful as smoking. Carried out by Public Health England (PHE), the report found that e-cigarettes are “around 95% less harmful” than smoking tobacco, and that the National Health Service should consider recommending them to help people quit smoking all together. They have also concluded that there is “no evidence” that they offer young people a gateway into smoking. The review suggests that e-cigarettes may be contributing to falling smoking rates in the U.K., as 2.6 million adults are now thought to be using the product. They also found that almost all of these adults are ex-smokers, providing evidence that many people are not starting to use the devices after having never smoked in the first place, and instead are using them to either quit or cut down on tobacco. “E-cigarettes are not completely risk free but when compared to smoking, evidence shows they carry just a fraction of the harm,” explained Professor Kevin Fenton, Director of Health and Wellbeing at PHE. “The problem is people increasingly think they are at least as harmful and this may be keeping millions of smokers from quitting. Local stop smoking services should look to support e-cigarette users in their journey to quitting completely.
It’s estimated that currently 80,000 people in England die each year as a result of smoking, but if everybody who does smoke were to switch to e-cigarettes, then this figure is predicted to drop to just 4,000. The evidence, according to the report, is clear: Smoking e-cigarettes is much less harmful than smoking tobacco cigarettes. And if used in conjunction with stop smoking support services, they offer a much better chance at quitting altogether. ( via iflscience.com )
