More than 440,000 people in the United States die of tobacco-related diseases each year (approximately 1,095 deaths per day or 45 deaths per hour), accounting for one in every five deaths and representing the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States.

The average cost of a pack of tobacco is $6 in the US, a 200% increase over the last decade. If a person smokes one pack of tobacco cigarettes per day for 50 years (average age of starting tobacco is age 13) they will spend $109,500 on tobacco cigarettes, compared with $122,220 on groceries during the same period.

INGREDIENTS OF AN E-CIGARETTE ⃰

Depending on the brand of e-cigarette used, numerous studies have identified that the vapor inhaled when using an e-cigarette contains about 20 ingredients, the largest of which is propylene glycol (between 80 to 90%), nicotine (generally ranging from 0.1% to 6%), which is regarded generally safe for human consumption when ingested prudently, and tobacco essence (0 to 4.5%). By contrast tobacco smoke contains 4,000 ingredients, including arsenic and carbon monoxide, and dozens of cancer causing ingredients. There are no know cancer causing ingredients in our e-cigarettes.

Generally, the amount of nicotine in e-cigarettes is much less than over-the-counter products. According to the E-Cigarette Association, the intake of nicotine from e-cigarettes appears to be substantially less than acceptable standards already in the marketplace. For instance, the consumption of a tobacco cigarette delivers about 1 – 1.5 mg of nicotine. With the average US smoker consuming 13.9 cigarettes per day, they consume 14-21 mg of nicotine daily. Depending on the FDA approved smoking cessation product, labeling suggests consumption of 6 to 48 mg of nicotine per day. By comparison an e-cigarette cartridge (depending on the E-Cigarette) produces zero to 16 mgs of nicotine when fully consumed (after approximately 300 puffs). A recent industry survey indicates that a cigarette smoker takes 62.8 puffs per day, thus suggesting that the average e-cig smoker consumes 3.36 mg of nicotine per day – far less than the amounts for cigarettes or smoking cessation products.

Nicotine is highly addictive. Nicotine is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. Smoke Free, Inc. is not recommending that non-smokers use its products. Furthermore the FDA forbids e-cigarette makers to make health claims or benefits about its products. Under no circumstance shall it be construed that Smoke Free, Inc. E-Cigarettes is recommending its products to non-smokers. That being said, according to the E-Cigarette Association, the long term use of nicotine is significantly safer than tobacco smoking. Nicotine suffers from guilt by association with tobacco. The carcinogenic properties of nicotine in a stand-alone form, separated from tobacco smoke, indicate that nicotine on its own does not promote the development of cancer in healthy tissue and has no mutagenic properties. The Royal College of Physicians, as well as a study by the National Institutes of Health, indicates that there are no grounds to suspect appreciable long-term adverse effects on health from the long-term use of nicotine. With our e-cigarette cartridges, you have the option of a nicotine free way to enjoy our e-cigarettes.

FDA

The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) takes the position that e-cigarette companies may not: 1) make claims regarding the health and safety of its products, 2) make any smoking cessation claims, and 3) sell or market its products to those under the age of 18 years of age.
