For those wanting an alternative to traditional cigarettes but want to retain all of the social, physical, and psychological advantages, e-smoking is a good smoking alternative. However, users of the electronic device frequently encounter a misunderstanding public.
E-cigs Do Not Involve Smoking
An electronic cigarette looks and feels like a cigarette, yet it is not smoking. It only simulates the experience by producing an inhaled mist containing nicotine, propylene glycol, water and flavoring. E-cigs do not produce smoke, are not lighted, do not burn, and are batter powered. You can enjoy e-cigs safely anywhere.
Electronic Cigarettes and Smoking Bans
Many electronic cigarette users wonder if smoking bands cover the electronic devices. This varies from region to region, and such laws are always changing. When in question, it is best to treat the use of the use of the device much like you would a traditional cigarette and avoid causing any disturbance.
What About E-Cigarettes in the Workplace?
If you would avoid smoking a traditional cigarette at work, it is probably a good idea to avoid using an e-cig as well. If your workplace have a designating smoking area, consider stepping outside as well and use it as an opportunity to share the difference between smoking and vamping.
Another workplace issue is safety. Some employers have concerns about e-cigs being a source of ignition in places of combustibles. Since the devices are battery powered, they are only as likely to cause combustion as other batter powered devices, such as watches. Sometimes simply providing more information to the employer will help them work out a suitable compromise.
Second Hand Smoke Concerns
Second hand smoke is a serious public concern. This concern, along with not having enough information about e-cigs, sometimes leads to public concern about those using the electronic cigarette in public. In electronic cigarettes, a mist is delivered to the user through vaporization, not combustion. Since the device is powered by battery and emits a mist rather than smoke, it does not pose a danger to those around the user. For those unfamiliar wit the technology, it may look so close to smoking that it can cause offence. However, in most cases more information is all that is needed to put public mid at ease.
Electronic smoking is a new technology. Although it has gained widespread support within the smoking community, it is easy to understand that the public will need a period of adjustment as reliable information becomes more available.
