GAINESVILLE, FL, October 19, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- ASH Agrees That The E Cigarette Is Better Alternative To Tobacco

In an amazing document released by ASH UK, the anti-smoking group makes some surprising statements concerning the e-cigarette.

While the ASH group in the United States and its leader, Prof. John Banzhaf III hold a large amount of contempt for e-cigarette products, the original chapter of ASH in the UK released a PDF file stating that the products could very well be a viable option for smokers who do not wish to quit or have not had success with cessation.

The U.K. ASH organization has now released a document that states that one of the few downsides of the e cigarette is that the levels of nicotine as "low" and may not give users the amount of nicotine needed to keep them using the e cigarette over the real thing. They further state their support for other alternatives to tobacco.

"ASH supports a harm reduction approach to tobacco, that is, we recognize that while efforts to help people stop smoking should remain a priority, many people either do not wish to stop smoking or find it very hard to do so. For this group, we believe that products should be made available that deliver nicotine in a safe way, without the harmful components found in tobacco. Most of the diseases associated with smoking are caused by inhaling smoke which contains thousands of toxic chemicals. By contrast, nicotine is relatively safe. Therefore, e cigarettes, which deliver nicotine without the harmful toxins found in tobacco smoke, are likely to be a safer alternative to smoking. In addition, e-cigarettes reduce secondhand smoke exposure since they do not produce smoke."

Recent studies in South Africa concluded that 45% of smokers who began using e-cigarettes quit smoking tobacco within 8 weeks of beginning and all doctors who participated in the study agreed that e-cigarettes could be used to address both the physical and psychological addictions involved in smoking. 52% of users reported that they had increased levels of energy after continuing to use the products and that their physical appearance had visibly improved.

More studies on e-cigarettes are on the way and as more come out in favor of them, the worldwide tobacco market could be in trouble - for good.
