Vaping

Europe is a vast continent with nearly forty percent of Europeans smoking. The country with the most number of smokers on the continent is the United Kingdom which accounts for more than 45 percent of all smokers. Portugal has the fewest number of smokers of just above 29 percent of the European Union’s 39.4 percent smokers. The rest of the countries in Europe vary from the United Kingdom’s smoking prevalence by an average of some sixteen percent. The following is the percentage prevalence of smoking in selected European Union countries;

Based on comparative data from studies in the year 1995, smoking has overall spiked in the European Union by some 5.5 percent from 33.9 percent to 39.4 percent. However even in light of this data tobacco cigarette smoking has decreased in three countries on the continent namely Denmark, Netherlands, and Belgium. Apparently, these countries are amongst the four heaviest smoking countries in Europe according to 1995 data. The fourth country had a high prevalence of smoking than Greece. Today instead of joining the three others in declining prevalence, Greece has had smoking increasing. This is the case with the rest of the European countries. In general, smoking has increased even though in some cases by slim margins. The overall EU smoking prevalence against 1995 figures has increased by some 4.8 percent.

Researchers have noted some variations in the methods of tobacco delivery. As expected Sweden showed some remarkable statistics of 9.1% use of smokeless tobacco products particularly chewing tobacco and snuff. While other methods such as cigar and pipe smoking are generally low in the European Union Denmark and Netherlands according to researchers have statistics considerably above average at 4.5% and 2.7% respectively. Roll-your-own cigarettes which are considerably popular in the U.S. are relatively popular in Europe with some countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, and France having figures considerably higher than the national average of 5.0%.

Reliable demographic data in the European Union indicate that in total more men than women smoke. In terms of packaged cigarettes, 44.8 percent of men smoke compared to 43.3 percent of women. Interestingly those who have some degree of education smoke less than those with less education. This data confirms a study carried out in Israel whose findings were published in 2010. Focusing on 20000 young men in the army, the study linked higher smoking rates to lower IQ. In other words, young men with lower IQs as low as 90 to 94 tended to make bad decisions about their health which included smoking compared to those with a high IQ of 101. This link went beyond smoking to obesity, nutrition, and other health matters.

With regard to tobacco delivery methods, far more men in the European Union smoke pipes or cigars than do women. Moreover, vapes and e-liquid stores like nic salts are quite popular among teenagers as well. Pipes and cigars are also associated with older individuals. Interestingly cigar smoking, the researchers found, is also linked to managerial position perhaps an important status symbol. The unemployed in the EU overwhelmingly smoke roll-your-own cigarettes also considered a function of cost!

According to many researchers and others as well, the smokeless cigarette is, without question, less harmful than tobacco.

It is common knowledge that diseases such as lung cancer and emphysema are just a couple of the ailments that are prevalent among tobacco cigarette smokers. But what is not so commonly known is that now smokers have a safer alternative to tobacco smoking using the ‘smokeless cigarette’ (vaping).

The electronic smokeless cigarette (also called ecigarettes, electric cigarette, etc), though perhaps not as safe as quitting smoking altogether, is still not as unhealthy as tobacco cigarettes are. Millions of smokers agree that it’s wonderful to finally have a choice when it comes to their smoking addiction.

The way the ecigarette works is, you simply charge up your electronic cigarette battery, which looks very similar to a traditional cigarette, and instead of inhaling the more deadly toxins that a normal cigarette has in them, the ‘smoke’ that is emitted from the e-cigarette is actually just water vapor that contains liquid nicotine, and is harmless to those around you.

Family members of smokers who are concerned about second hand smoke may find this option a lot more tolerable. Some smokers see the smokeless cigarette as a much more effective way to ‘quit’ smoking forever as it gives them the feeling that they are still actually smoking, even though they are not inhaling the same harmful chemicals as they were with regular cigarettes.

CBD cartridge hence help smokers to enjoy cbd at low rate of risk as that of caused by the cigarettes. This is also made sure by the lab tests. The e-ciggars are also available to buy. The smokeless cigarette can be purchased without nicotine, but the FDA frowns upon the ones that do contain it because the nicotine can have negative side effects to one’s health. And while it is true that nicotine is certainly not a healthy substance in general, the FDA seems to be ignoring some important facts when it comes to the electronic smokeless cigarette, such as the fact that they don’t have any of the other chemicals found in traditional cigarettes, nor do they create harmful second hand smoke.

And what about nicotine gums and patches? These products contain nicotine, yet they are widely used by people trying to quit smoking. There’s no question in my mind that many people’s lives could be spared if the smokeless cigarette was more widely marketed.
