With the recent boom in the sales figures of E-Cigarettes, many industry insiders are currently debating whether or not the new, "harmless" products are actually indeed safer than the alternative product that they are meant to be replacing.

This debate has sparked up for a number of reasons. Firstly, the tobacco companies are losing a lot of their loyal clients to these new E-Cigarette companies - with their safer, healthier, and cheaper alternatives.

Additionally, E-Cigarettes actually haven't had much research done on them since they were first released, and this has made a few industry onlookers cautious as to whether or not the health benefits of changing to an E-Cigarette are as vast as claimed by the manufacturers. We set out to find out the truth in this matter.

Why E-Cigarettes Are Safer?

After looking at the evidence from both sides very carefully, we are convinced that E-Cigarettes are indeed far better for you than tobacco products. Here is our reasoning:

• E-Cigarettes do not produce the harmful smoke that a tobacco cigarette does.
• There are no chemicals used in the E-Cigarette at all.
• There is no nicotine in the E-Cigarette (depending on which you choose) - therefore the addictive potential is reduced.
• E-Cigarettes can be used anywhere without causing health problems to other people.

When you think about it, the logic behind E-Cigarette health is really quite sound. The protesters however do have a few valid points, which we should certainly include here to be fair.

Many people who are against E-Cigarettes have the following concerns:

• Unknown how the smoke affects the lungs.
• Unknown how long term use may affect the body.

Clearly, if a clinical study was to be done to investigate these two issues, E-Cigarette safety could be proven once and for all.

E-Cigarette vs Roll Your Own

Another debate which has taken the headlines recently is the one over whether roll-you-own cigarettes are actually better than both normal cigarettes and E-Cigarettes. Logic would tell us that this debate is absolute rubbish, because roll you own items contain exactly the same tobacco substances as a normal cigarette, and are therefore just as bad for the lungs as any other normal cigarette product around.

To conclude - E-Cigarettes are definitely safer than the standard tobacco products available.
