Hello readers. I'm back today a little earlier then planned only because this is a very controversial subject that i had a lot of questions about by family and peers and needs to be spoken on. So what it comes down to is, are Electronic Cigarettes bad for you? My question is more so, does anyone know for sure? It doesn't seem to have a definite answer.
The FDA seems to think they're poison and tried to ban the new devices upon their arrival in the US. Needless to say it's not currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration and they felt so strongly about this they stopped the importing of these devices to the states at one point. Manufactured in China originally but now also in the US, Electronic cigarettes are "said" to contain the same cancer causing bacteria as cigarettes not to mention a drug called diethylene glycol also found in antifreeze and smoke machines, but said to not be harmful.
Now like i said earlier folks, this is a very controversial subject and even M.D.s have mixed opinions. Doctors that head the American Cancer Society give it a go while others of the same Association don't trust it but cant prove its harm. And yes the found the same cancer causing chemical in it also found in cigarettes but that was in the earlier stages. Health Administrations ran recent test on vapors and also found the same chemical agent. Studies show their was such an insignificant trace of this chemical agent if any at all, but have yet to prove it to be harmless. Heres some feedback from some smokers and doctors:

So as you can nobody really knows but everyone seems to be ok with it for the most part besides the FDA. O yeah, and this guy:
"Electronic cigarettes should be absolutely avoided because they clearly have toxic elements," said Dr. Jonathan Whiteson, a pulmonologist at New York University Langone Medical Center. "It is proven now that electronic cigarettes contain toxic elements. Electronic cigarettes play no role in smoking cessation and don't add to a healthier lifestyle."
Ok so time for my opinion: So theres no doubt that theres is toxins in the vapor, the question is how much and is it that harmful? Obviously proven to be less harmful than cigarettes. And in no way am i promoting this as a "quit smoking aid" but also proven to help people quit smoking! Well thats all i have today and listen; i would love opinions on this issue so please don't be afraid to reply with some feedback on the blog here. Thanks again for reading folks and i will see you for tomorrows topic, Electronic Cigarette Venders and Will These Devices Save Smokers Money?

Electronic Cigaretts, What Are They?
Welcome back readers and fellow bloggers! So in my first blog I pretty much told you why I'm here. In the post this evening I am going to explain what Electronic Cigarettes are and why they are becoming such a trend. Some may say it's a phase, myself and other Researchers believe it's a new epidemic. Not only because you can now smoke in restaurants, casinos, office buildings, and all other places that required designated smoking areas because of the recent change in politics, but also because of the health factor.
What are Electronic Cigarettes you ask? Well as you probably guessed and have seen, they are battery-powered cigarette like devices that provide nicotine through a vaporized solution. Most are made up of a 3 part design which includes: a mouth piece or cartridge that holds the solution, the heating element that vaporizes the solution called the atomizer, and third the battery and other electronics. Please note guys that some designs are different which I will explain in detail within the next 2 blogs.
That's right, there is no real smoke or nicotine therefore eliminating the smoke induced health factor and additional toxins and chemicals. If you are a smoke, perhaps the health factor is an added bonus for you. You guys will probably be surprised, but the main reason this product attracts most people (especially if you live in New Jersey or on the East Coast in the winter) is the fact that you don't have to leave the bar, car, house, etc. to enjoy your cigarette! Not to mention no longer killing your loved ones with second-hand smoke.
While all this is great, people are skeptical and of course I don't blame them. Who knows until you try them right? And even then, is it that much healthier (if your one who cares about the health issue)? Well close friends of mine and I have tried them and I think their great! But your not here for my opinion, your are here for the facts. And are they healthier? That my friends is a totally new blog topic. So visit me here tomorrow about 8 a.m. EST and I will tell you all about it. Thanks for stopping by and I would very much like your feedback. See you soon.

Hello Wolrd!
Hey guys! My names Anthony and this is a brand new blog and I intend on making it very interesting and informational. In this blog my main focus and topic of conversation will be on GreenSmoke and other E-Cigs or Electronic cigarettes comparable. A little about me since we will be spending day to day together: I am currently in the Network Marketing or MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)Industry. One of my products are E-Cigs. But thats not why i’m here. I am here, more so, to provide you with unbiased information and personal opinion on these products. Criticism and comments welcome.
This blog post is as much for electronic cigarette suppliers as it is for the average e-smoker. As the electronic cigarette becomes more and more popular, we are seeing more and more suppliers popping up. I research these e-cigs and suppliers daily and their new methods and technology. Hopefully my information will be helpful in choosing the best one to use or even market as most of them do offer an Opportunity and some with no start up cost.
Well this article was just an introduction to my new blog here on Blogger and will be updating daily if not several times a daily with new info. You can look forward to another post later today. Thanks for reading and i would love to hear from readers and followers of my blogs. Like i said earlier, criticism and comments are welcome and appreciated. Till next time…
