New
research has found electronic cigarettes to contain even 10 times more cancer
causing ingredients than the tobacco products they are supposed to save us
from.
E-cigarettes
are meant to replace a dangerous and life destroying habit, but they turned out
to be far more dangerous. But why wasn’t there any research prior to their
approval and production – a research that was supposed to prove their safety
and viability? And who was responsible for that?
Here
is an excerpt from the FDA website, and nowhere on its website does the FDA
mention an increased cancer risk. The discussion is mostly regarding
standardization or quality control.

E-Cigarettes: Questions and Answers
Q:
What are electronic cigarettes?
A:
Electronic cigarettes are products designed to deliver nicotine or other
substances to a user in the form of a vapor. Typically, they are composed of a
rechargeable, battery-operated heating element, a replaceable cartridge that
may contain nicotine or other chemicals, and an atomizer that, when heated,
converts the contents of the cartridge into a vapor. This vapor can then be
inhaled by the user. These products are often made to look like such products as
cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. They are also sometimes made to look like
everyday items such as pens and USB memory sticks, for people who wish to use
the product without others noticing.
Q:
What concerns does FDA have regarding electronic cigarettes?
A:
FDA has not evaluated any e-cigarettes for safety or effectiveness.
And
there you have it.
Now
we learn about this shocking information from sources outside the US. The FDA
has a budget of over $4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) and a track record of corruption
and failures. Once again, it turns out that the FDA is a huge waste of
taxpayers’ money.
E-cigarettes
are being used by hundreds of thousands of underage children and millions of
adults with the hope that they are a safer alternative to tobacco products.
However, it seems that nothing could possibly be further from the truth. Now we
have research, but not from the CDC/FDA – the institutes who we depend on and
fund massively to keep us safe and healthy.
There’s
no wonder that the cancer rate continues to increase.
E-CIGS
HAVE 10 TIMES MORE CANCER CAUSING INGREDIENTS THAN REGULAR CIGARETTES
According
to research conducted by Japanese scientists, e-cigarettes contain 10 times the
level of cancer-causing carcinogens than regular cigarettes. Until recently,
e-cigarettes were recommended as the answer to smoking without the complication
of so many dangers.
These
electronic nicotine products became hugely popular because people believed that
they were receiving a hit of nicotine without the need to worry about any
health damage that’s caused by a normal cigarette, loaded with chemicals.
But
when the Japanese Ministry of Health commissioned a research, they found
formaldehyde and acetaldehyde carcinogens in the liquid produced by many
e-cigarette products, stated a health ministry official.
The
group also found that e-cigarettes can fuel potentially life-threatening
drug-resistant pathogens. This discovery comes from a lab study that tested the
vapor from e-cigarettes on live methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) and human cells.
According
to the official, the formaldehyde carcinogen is much more present in the
e-cigarette liquids than in the chemicals used in regular cigarettes.
The
researcher Naoki Kunugita said: “In one brand of e-cigarette the team found
more than 10 times the level of carcinogens contained in one regular cigarette.
Especially when the wire (which vaporizes the liquid) gets overheated, higher
amounts of those harmful substances seemed to be produced.”
Kunugita
also added that the levels of the formaldehyde carcinogen varied in the final
results.
“You
call them e-cigarettes, but they are products totally different from regular
tobacco. The government is now studying the possible risks associated with
them, with view to looking at how they should be regulated,” the Japanese
health ministry official said.
Earlier
in 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) advised governments to ban the
sale of e-cigarettes to underage people because they posed a serious threat to
them.
The
UN health agency said that although there’s a lack of evidence regarding the
damage caused by e-cigarettes, there was still enough evidence “to caution
children and adolescents, pregnant women, and women of reproductive age” about
their use. They also added that e-cigs should be outlawed from indoor public
spaces.
The
US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated: “More than a quarter
of a million youth who had never smoked a cigarette used electronic cigarettes
in 2013, according to a CDC study published in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco
Research. This number reflects a three-fold increase, from about 79,000 in
2011, to more than 263,000 in 2013.”
