The Indian Medical Association had in January discouraged the use of electronic cigarettes to cut down on smoking as these disguised forms of tobacco can have "serious" long-term effects on health."IMA believes that e-cigarettes, though not as harmful as normal cigarettes, are not healthy and their use should not be encouraged.Like hookahs, they are disguised forms of tobacco addiction and can have serious long-term effects on one's health," it had said.KSU RA BN BSA Stay updated on the go with Times of India News App.Click here to download it for your device.From Around the WebMore From The Times of IndiaNot-So-Stylish Decor Trends from the Year You Were BornTop Trader Shows You How to Decode Price BluffsThe Highest Salaries in Television History Belong to These..Godrej Suites, Your Dream Home Awaits You! is in this field since several years.We value the trust and beliefs vested in us by our clients.We are well known for our services in the market and are happy to have you as our customer.

Please also share on your social media and help raise awareness so we can prevent these kind of regressive steps in future: Friends, this is the first time that I am posting something about "Vaping" on my facebook and with good reason.

Some of you are either smokers or have friends / family members who smoke.It is an addiction which is very hard to quit.I used to be a smoker myself till I discovered Vaping and now have been tobacco-free for ...the last 15 months.The benefits this has had to my health is real and I can vouch for it.VAPING IS NOT SMOKING!!!KNOW WHAT IT IS... Vaping is NOT the same as smoking - It is a system of nicotine delivery (using what is normally referred to as an e-cigarette) which mimics tobacco smoking, but without any actual tobacco.You inhale a vapor of food grade flavorings and nicotine in a glycerine base.There is no burning, no tar, no carbon monoxide and none of the other major carcinogens found in cigarette smoke.Studies of nicotine separated from tobacco have shown that it is a stimulant much like caffeine and by itself does no great harm.Granted that vaping is a new phenomenon and longitudinal studies are still being carried out, but experts are of the consensus that it is atleast 95% safer than smoking tobacco!

ITS THE SMOKE THAT KILLS - NOT THE NICOTINE!!!If this were not true the FDA and CDC would not approve of nicotine gum and nicotine patches as substitutes to help smokers quit.The National Health Service in UK encourages smokers to give vaping a try to help them stop smoking and prevent premature death.In most of the developed world vaping is a strong alternative to smoking that has helped millions of smokers quit their tobacco habit.This can be clearly seen in the drop in tobacco sales reported by big tobacco companies.WHY SHOULD YOU CARE???If you are a smoker, know that there is a better healthier choice in Vaping.Even if you are not, know the difference between the two.If you read the article here on the Tribune, a court in India has taken a regressive step of sentencing an e-cigarette seller to jail for promoting nicotine products!By the same logic pharmacists who sell nicotine gum should also be jailed!If the objective of the government, health ministry and courts is to ban nicotine devices, then please start with Cigarettes, Bidis and Chewing Tobacco.. they are the biggest, most widely available and affordable source of cancer!

Every now and then there are poorly researched articles that are published at the behest of tobacco and pharma companies which warn (mislead) readers that "e-cigarettes" are as bad as cigarettes and a host of other false stories.Please share this with your friends and help raise awareness.Without proper awareness vaping will die an unfortunate death and tobacco companies will celebrate the fact that they are able to continue selling their cancer sticks unabated!E-cigarette seller gets 3-year jail in MohaliBangalore Vape Club added an event.We had the first major vape meet in Bangalore a couple of weeks ago at this very location.It was a great gathering with a good turnout - new and experienced vapers alike exchanging ideas on mods, tanks, RDAs, builds, ejuice, etc.It also saw the launch of Alchemy Vaping Co.We resolved to make this a regular ongoing event in bangalore.Hence we give you VAPE MEET 2.0.See you there!1Bangalore Vape Meet - EPUFFS.IN Official LaunchBangalore Vape ClubTalks of Vape Meet 2.0 are brewing.
