About The Electronic Cigarette

Cigarettes kill millions of people a year. One of these peoplehappened to be the father of a Chinese inventor, entrepreneur andpharmacist, Hon Lik.

Grief-stricken by the death of his father from lung-cancer, Hon Likset about creating an alternative to the tobacco cigarette analternative that would change the lives of tens of thousands ofpeople.

Could it change your life too?

1. A Quick History1.1. Hon Lik

Hon Lik would light up first thing in the morning. By dinner time, hewould be on his third pack of cigarettes. Like 60% of men in China,he was a dedicated smoker.

But then he watched his father die of lung cancer.

Chinese Cemetery: Stuck in Customs

Hon Lik just didn't quit his 60 a day habit he had the inspiration toinvent a new device which

would allow smokers to enjoy nicotine without the attendantdangers of smoking.

Hon Lik, however, was not the first to have this idea...

built, the concept of smokeless cigarettes has been around fordecades.

Herbert's smokeless cigarette aimed to replace "burning tobaccoand paper with heated, moist flavoured air" via the process ofmicroencapsulation. (Source: Free Patents Online.)

Micro cells contained within the device would provide the flavour oftobacco smoking. The user would compress the device by

squeezing and rolling it between their fingers. This would suck in airto be inhaled by the user. At the same time, the action would breakthe micro-cells, releasing the flavour.

The inventor envisaged that some users would miss the actualsmoke of the cigarette. These users would be able to add burningtobacco to the end of their cigarette. However, the smoke would beblocked from entering the cigarette.

Some of the micro-cells would also produce heat which would warmthe air being drawn into the smoker's mouth.

1.3. Tobacco Industry Experiments

Perhaps more realistic experiments were made by the tobaccoindustries, although as with other developments towards a safercigarette they ran foul of an industry agreement not to admit that

current cigarettes were dangerous. By developing and producing asafer form of cigarette, they would be implicitly be acknowledgingthat current cigarettes were dangerous.

The PremierThe Premier was a precursor of the electroniccigarette in that it wassmokeless - the creators, realising that combustion was the causeof tobacco related illnesses, sought to remove combustion from the

process.

_______________________________

R J Reynolds spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing thePremier 2, which was to be marketed as a cleaner smoking device.The device aimed to give smokers the nicotine hit without thedisadvantages of combustion. To do so, it heated rather thanburned tobacco pellets, and in the process reduced the amount ofsmoke that was inhaled by the smoker.

Smokers intensely disliked the new device, complaining that it left a

charcoal taste in the mouth, and there were also issues with theFDA which, in scenes which would foreshadow its battle over theelectronic cigarette, argued that it should be regulated as a drug.

(Decades later it took a Judge in theNJOY/Smoking Everywhere v.The FDA caseto point

out how ridiculous it was that safer products should face moreonerous regulation than cigarettes!)

1.4. A New DeviceWhich brings us back to the electronic cigarette. Unlike the childrenof other deceased smokers, Hon Lik was a pharmacist and aninventor. And in 2003, he submitted the patent for the electroniccigarette. His company was so inspired by the product that itchanged its name from Golden Dragon Holdings to Ruyan: Like

Smoke.

The device he invented has changed a lot in the few short yearssince its invention, but for the first time people could smokesomething that felt like a cigarette, looked like a cigarette, tastedlike a cigarette - but had none of the combustion of aregular cigarette.

2.How the ElectronicCigarette Works

2.1. Components

Electronic cigarettes do vary considerablybetween the different designs, and greatstrides have been made in quality, reliabilityand sophistication since the original electroniccigarette was made.

However, there are somecommon elements between the differentelectronic cigarettes.

The main stem of the

"cigarette" is actually the battery. An atomiserand a cartridge are screwed into the battery.The battery usually also carries a coloured tipwhich lights up when the user drags to

13

_______________________________

simulate the use of a cigarette.

2.2. Function

When you inhale from an electronic cigarette, air is sucked in, and asensor activates the atomiser. The atomiser heats the air whichthen passes through a liquid solution which usually containsnicotine. Crucially, the temperature of the smoke is cooler thancigarette smoke and at no point does combustion occur.

Some cheaper models also carry a switch which is used to turn onthe electronic cigarette instead of using a sensor.

The Halo

_______________________________

A recent innovation has been to make the atomiser and thecartridge into a single piece. The Halo cartridge is an example ofthis. The innovation both makes it easier and quicker to assemblethe electronic cigarette and reduces atomiser failure.

3.Can the E Cigarette Help You Quit?3.1. Claims

"You can stop smoking with the electronic cigarette!"

That's a claim you will see all over the Internet.

But is it true?

It's currently an illegal claim, as there are no long term studieswhich give definitive proof that the electronic cigarette can help usquit, and because the electronic is not licensed as a smokingcessation aid.

However, there are several interesting studies which at leastsuggest the possibility:

3.2. New Zealand Research

New Zealand research shows that the electronic cigarette can:

3.3. South African Study3.4.

An informal study in South Africa which gave smoking doctors theelectronic cigarette to try out found that 45% of users quit were able

to quit using the electronic cigarette over a two month period.

One of the doctors involved stated: "an ecigarette is the mosteffective treatment method on the market for quitting tobaccosmoking".

See: 45% of Smokers Quit with the Electronic Cigarettefor moredetails.

Our own survey, which was analysed by the University of Alberta(see Electronic Cigarettes as a Potential Harm Reduction Tool),suggested that a majority of smokers are able to either partially orwholly replace cigarettes with electronic cigarettes.

See Electronic Cigarettes The Electronic Cigarette as a PotentialHarm Reduction Productfor more information.

18/37


_______________________________

Perhaps influenced by these studies, the MHRA in the UK is nowaccepting that the electronic cigarette can save lives via smokingcessation.

Typically, as a result the big-pharm funded MHRA wants to limitavailability of the electronic cigarette by regulating it as a medicine.Some view this desire to regulate e-cigarettes as medicine assuspicious, fearing it is in reality a plan by the pharmaceuticalcompanies to take control of the industry!

Ultimately, there is no definitive proof that you can quit smoking withthe electronic cigarette - which is no reason why you shouldn't try!

4. The Smoking Alternative4.1. What are the benefi ts for you?

If it s not certain that the electronic cigarette that the electronic cigarette can help you quit, why should you buy it?

19


20/37


_______________________________

Here s a few reasons!

Money: We estimate that if you are a 20 a day smoker you cansave 1500 a year by switching to the electronic cigarette. If yousmoke 40 a day smoker you ll save 3000, and if you smoke 60

a day smoker you ll save 4500 a year.*

Smell: You don t notice the stale smell of a smoked cigarette - until you have quit! So this is really a reason for the people around you...

Second Hand Smoke: There is definitively no second hand smokewith the electronic cigarette. In fact, there s no first hand smoke either?

20


21/37


_______________________________

Toxin Free: The vapour of our own brand, the NJOY electroniccigarette, has been tested 100% toxin free by an independentlaboratory.

Smoke Anywhere: It is absolutely legal to smoke the electroniccigarette, inside or out.

4.2. What users have said...But enough from us. Let s hear from actual users:

I have just bought the NJoy Pro Starter Kit. At last someone whounderstands the problems of smoking and smokers habits hascreated an object which has everything; something for the hands,something for the habit and no odour!

After 30 years of smoking, the NJoy Pro Kit is the best product that Ihave tried and it is also the closest thing to a real cigarette you canget. Amazing!

Michael: UK

As a heavy smoker I am not the type of person to be fooled intoenjoying a fake fag however the e-cig delivers a satisfying combination of something to do with a hand that usually has areal cigarette in it as well as a realistic smoking experience.

As a smoker of about 40 cigarettes a day the e-cigarette arriveda week past Friday and had paid for itself within four days!

Mike Cowie: UK

Source: E Cigarette Direct

Within a couple of weeks, I experienced the following changes inmy health: breathing as a normal non smoker of my age, coughing

gone, taste and smell drastically improved, snoring reduced, badsmells/odors on my body/dresses/house/car all gone, all these withsubstantial reduction in expenses. I have not suffered from anydisturbing health problems since using this new device...

I can only but recommend this replacement method to any onewho wants to stop smoking tobacco with its associates of tar, CO2and over 4000 other deadly components, and finds it difficult or

impossible to drop the habit because of nicotine addiction.

I am now a totally changed person, and this has been highlyappreciated by my family and friends. May I add that a majority ofthe cigarette smoking ones have even joined me in this newpractice.

5. Is the ElectronicCigarette Safe?5.1. Some Opinions

Cigarettes are not safe. Electronic cigarettes arenot safe. In fact,nothing is safe. But this is the wrong question.

The correct question should be:

23


24/37


_______________________________

Is the electronic cigarette safer than smoking cigarettes?

According to Joel Nitzkin, Chair of the Tobacco Control Task Forcefor the American Association of Public Health Physicians, theelectronic cigarette probably carries between one percent and onetenth of one percent of the risk of cigarettes.

(You can read our full interview with Dr Joel Nitzkin here. )

The eloquent David Sweanor(pictured to theright), former

advisor to the WHO on the subject of tobaccocontrol, puts it another way:

"Rather than the unattainable standard of

'safe' we should be thinking in terms of'safer'.

Despite the risks associated withsoccer, I would, for instance, prefer my children play soccerrather than play with live hand grenades."

25/37


_______________________________

David Sweanor repeated this sentiment in aninterview with theStar:

"Safe doesn't exist," says Sweanor.

"But electronic cigarettes are low risk compared to regularcigarettes. It's the equivalent of having a four-wheel-driveVolvo compared to a high-powered motorcycle with bald tiresin an ice storm."http://www.thestar.com/Article/600906

5.2. Comparison with Cigarettes

1. In contrast with cigarettes, there is no tar in electroniccigarettes.

2. An FDA study of our NJOY e cigarette found trace carcinogensat levels thousands of times lower than those found incigarettes, and equivalent in quantity to those found in Peanut

Butter (see Professor Siegel's analysisfor details) as well asin nicotine cessation aids. A further study into the vapour of theelectronic cigarette found no toxins whatsoever.

3. Combustion, which scientists at theTobaccoHarmReduction.orgproject say is the main cause ofharm in smoking, does not take place in electronic cigarettes.

4. Propylene Glycol and nicotine are the main ingredients ofcigarettes. In his analysis of the electronic cigarette Dr Murray

Laugeson of Health New Zealand states that nicotine andpropylene glycol are: "Two small well-known molecules withexcellent safety profiles." (See more below.) Until there havebeen long term studies into electronic cigarettes there can beno 100% guarantee that they are healthy, or have no sideeffects.

26/37


_______________________________

5.3. Levels of Nicotine

If you have been following the media you could be excused forthinking that e-cigarettes have been proven dangerous.

According to one report e-cigarettes contain 40 times as muchnicotine as cigarettes!

The FDA analysis in fact showed that cigarettes contain less

nicotine than real cigarettes, while both American and New Zeleandstudies show they deliver less nicotine.

Dr Murray Laugeson's main concern is that they do not containenough nicotine!

5.4. Propylene GlycolPropylene glycol is the largest ingredient of the electronic cigarette.

Propylene glycol is a common ingredient in numerous productsincluding medicines and foods which are ingested on a daily basis.

In addition, propylene glycol has been used in a three year test in ahospital air supplies. In tests on children's wards propylene glycolhas been to show to decrease the level of flu and infections caught.Pure propylene glycol has been injected into people without harmfuleffects. There has been speculation that propylene glycol may

reduce flu amongst e-cigarette users, although there is no medicaldata as of yet to back up these assertions.

Propylene Glycol has also been used to create a less toxic andgreener alternative to anti-freeze.

6. Choosing a safe electroniccigarette.

6.1. Avoid Cheap Alternatives

The main danger with electronic cigarettes is that consumer pick upa poor quality product manufactured in a dodgy Chinese factory.

This is what Jim Palasota from NJOY told us in an email:

As you drill down into the manufacturing of e-cigs, you willfind that there are products being produced that do not meettrade, health or other regulations set forth by countries aroundthe world.

Resellers do not take the time or money to research who they

are buying from:

Manufacturers of e-cigs are using ingredients in theircartridge that contain and/or cause carcinogens

Manufacturers of e-cigs are using lead to solder thecomponents.

Certain plastics being used in mouth pieces can be harmful

Wall plugs do not meet [electrical safety] regulationsManufacturers are misrepresenting their product claiming thatit is FDA/USA approved.

In reality, a reseller of e-cigs will not take the necessary stepsto protect their clients simply because:

27


28/37


_______________________________

They dont care because if they are caught selling somethingillegal, they will simply close their doors never to be found

again

[They] dont have the financial support to do the studies.

When choosing an electronic cigarette, it's probably a good idea notto go for the cheapest.

Pick an established manufacturer with a good name and with a

brand that has been tested. Look for a supplier that gives a goodguarantee - if they haven't got faith in their product, why should youhave it?

NJOY's electronic cigarette (which comes with a one yearguarantee), for example, has been tested both by the FDA and byan independent laboratory.

The FDA tested the ingredients and found only trace elements oftoxins - at levels thousands of times lower than in regular cigarettes.The independent laboratory tests found no toxins in the actualvapour of the electronic cigarette.

7.What the Scientists Say

7.1. Excerpts from Our Interviews with Experts

As you have already seen, scientists do not always agree with thecurrent media opinion.

Here are some opinions from scientists we have spoken to:

Professor Michael Siegel(pictured right) is aprofessor in the Social and Behavioral SciencesDepartment, Boston University School of PublicHealth, with 20 years of experience in tobaccocontrol, primarily as a researcher. In an interviewhe stated:

I can't say how safe the electronic cigaretteis, but what I can say is that it is substantially safer than theconventional cigarette. Inhaling nicotine cannot be nearly asdangerous as inhaling nicotine plus thousands of otherchemicals, including more than 40 carcinogens.

It's a position Joel Nitzkin, Chair of the Tobacco Control Task Forcefor the American Association of Public Health Physicians, agreed

with so long as the nicotine used in the device was safe!

...if we can figure that the nicotine in the ecigarettes isbasically a generic version of the same nicotine that is in

prescription products, we have every reason to believe that thehazard posed by e-cigarettes would be much lower than one

percent, probably lower than one tenth of one percent of thehazard posed by regular cigarettes.

30/37


_______________________________

Other scientists have told us that opposition to safer forms oftobacco use will cause deaths. Here's what Professor Brad Radusaid in a letter to us:

There is no public health justification for denying smokersinformation about and access to safer sources of tobacco andnicotine. But the war against tobacco, conducted by TobaccoFree Kids and their allies, is not about public health... I amconvinced that these anti-tobacco extremists will eventually be

held partially responsible for the deaths of millions ofuninformed smokers.

For more opinions, see our interviews with these tobacco experts:Electronic Cigarette Interviews.

8. The Campaign Against theElectronic Cigarette

8.1. ASH

While ASH UK have been broadly supportive of the electroniccigarette (publicly stating that there is no way it could be more

dangerous that regular cigarettes) ASH US has been very criticalof the device.

An ASH Advert comparing smokers to the terrorists who attacked the Twin Towers:

33/37


_______________________________

The Quit or Die Approach

We believe they, and many other organisations like them, view anyform of tobacco use as morally wrong. Their purist vision has leadto a quit or die approach which does not allow for tobacco harmreduction strategies. E Cigarettes may be a particular threatbecause, in removing much of the danger of smoking, they removethe need and motivation to quit nicotine use.

8.2. Funds

We have found also ample evidence that US public healthorganisations receive funding from pharmaceutical groups.

These pharmaceutical groups control a multimillionaire dollar tradein ineffective nicotine cessation products (whose effectiveness,according the MHRA, is around five percent in the long term).And one industry report into the electronic cigarette suggested thatthe industry regarded it as a threat:

"E-Cigarettes Will Revolutionise the Face of Tobacco Smoking and

Could Pose a Threat to the Smoking Cessation Market.

33


34/37


_______________________________

ASH, for example, is part of a 47 million dollar funding programmefrom Pfizer, which manufactures suicide Chantix/Champix.

In contrast to electronic cigarettes, there have been many sideeffects and even deaths associated with these drugs!

Supporters of electronic cigarettes such as Michael Siegel, on theother hand, offer their help for a simple reason - because they think

it is the right thing to do!

9. Can the electronic cigaretteimprove your sex drive?

9.1. Sex and the Electronic Cigarette

34


35/37


_______________________________

Smoking is said to reduce sex drive.

Our curiosity piqued, we decided to investigate further.

Professor Louise Van Der Velde, also known as the Love Doctor ofGMTV, told us:

"Instantly, after just one cigarette, the body's ability to functiondecreases, which means erections can be a problem. It also affects

libido and general desire, as smoking massively effects thehormonal balance, and testosterone levels are responsible forlibido."

Her opinions seemed to be backed up by studies, which found thatmen smoking cigarettes had reduced reaction when watchingporn. Meanwhile, animals injected with nicotine (we didn't askwhere) also experience a decrease in sex drive. (We didn't asked

what they had to watch, either!)

Dr Murray Laugeson agreed that smoking, at least on a long termbasis, could affect sex drive. (On the other hand, ChristopherSnowdon states in his book Velvet Glove Iron Fist that smokers,in addition to being risk takers, typically have a higher sex drivethan normal.)

_______________________________

9.2. Electronic Cigarette

We were keen to find out whether the e-cigarette could increase sexdrive, so we carried out a survey of e-cigarette users.

Over half of the users claimed that the electronic cigarette hadimproved their sex life, with only eight percent saying it had noeffect. (Over 20% complained they had no sex life to improve!)

Here's what one user had to say about it:

"If I had a sex life, I know it would improve, simply because I canbreathe now and don't feel like crap or cough all the time. Whilesmoking, sex was as embarrassing as running up a flight of stairsnext to a non-smoker and not being able to catch my breath. Now Icould be much more active in bed and not stink like an ashtrayeither!"
