Demonized vape
Compared with other products, vape is relatively young, but there are more disputes about vape than other products. It is even said that vape is demonized. Why is such a young product aroused so much controversy? There are roughly two reasons for this, that is, the controversy over the harm of vape and the controversy over the effect of vape in smoking cessation.
The vape controversy has caused some users who originally wanted to buy vape to have doubts about vape. There are various criticisms of vape on the Internet, and some even quote the opinions of some authoritative departments. Users familiar with vape tend to back down.
So is the criticism of vape true? In my opinion, true and false are true and one-sided, so the three most critical issues of vape are analyzed below.
1. vape publicity and fraud.
In the early days of vape, some merchants did promote fraud, mainly focusing on the harmlessness and lung cleansing function falsely claimed by vape merchants. Manufacturers of vape or e-liquid do not actually support this view. It is the essential problem that some businesses deviate from vape in order to better attract customers in the competition, because harmless and clean lungs are very attractive to traditional customers. Therefore, the problem of such false propaganda gradually became a common problem.
This kind of false propaganda of vape seriously misleads users’ cognitive behaviors. We do not advocate it. This is not the original intention of vape manufacturers. It is only a product of business competition between merchants. No matter what the industry is, as long as the management is not in place. There are problems of false propaganda. The problem of false propaganda does not only exist in the vape industry. It can be said to be a common problem. It is just that vape is more eye-catching and easily attracts public attention.
The false propaganda problem of vape is actually a management problem. Therefore, after the vape and e-liquid business advertisements are prohibited from containing harmless and cleansing words on the sales platform, the false propaganda problem of vape will be solved instantly. As a professional manufacturer of vape and e-liquid, HANGBOO has never claimed that vape products are harmless and have lung cleansing function. We believe that vape has a significant harm reduction effect compared to cigarettes and is an ideal substitute for cigarettes. As for the product, as for the lung cleansing function, it involves the medical field, we will not comment on it.
2. Vape hazards.
Vape has been criticized most than the harm issue. Judging from the articles I checked on the Internet, it seems that vape-related issues have pushed one-sided sins to vape.
Many problems are only related to vape, but the problem does not lie in vape. However, in order to attract users’ attention, many articles on the Internet are accompanied by shocking titles. The sins in the text are also directed to vape. The problems that are not very relevant have become problems of proper vape hazards. In addition to some reasons to attract traffic, there are also many reasons that the author of the article does not have a correct understanding of vape. Here are two examples of online explanations.
1). The vape has something to do with drugs: There are many criminals who add THC (cannabis extract) to e-liquid for monetary benefits and sell them to customers at high prices. HANGBOO has also encountered this problem. Some people use HANGBOO branded products. e-liquid, add THC to it and sell it to customers. As a result, many customers directly find HANGBOO to buy this type of e-liquid. HANGBOO is a regular e-liquid company, so naturally they refused and reported the issue.
It can be seen from the above that HANGBOO itself is a victim. Is it reasonable to push the problem to the e-liquid manufacturer? THC is not produced because of vape. It was before the invention of vape. The emergence of vape is just another way to smoke THC. The fault is not vape, vape and e-liquid. The manufacturer is also the victim, and it is the illegal elements who are wrong.
At the same time, vape "popcorn lung" was mentioned on the Internet because users added THC to e-liquid. Regular vape and e-liquid do not contain THC.
2). The nicotine content of vape: some funny headlines, such as: "Scam, vape has higher nicotine content than cigarettes." Obviously, the author of this article has no knowledge of vape. This kind of person writing about the vape industry will only misinterpret the vape and be useless.
The nicotine content contained in the vape is marked. In the era of smoke, MG/ML was used more as the mark of nicotine content. Later, when the small cigarettes started to use% as the mark of nicotine content, the reason why it was used before When MG/ML was used as the label of nicotine content, it was used to mark the label of traditional cigarettes. Later, many people did not know much about MG/ML. Therefore, after 2018, there are more and more vapes that use% to identify the content of nicotine. It can be seen that vape manufacturers attach great importance to the nicotine content labeling, and this has been criticized as a scam, which shows how wronged the vape industry is.
At the same time, I’m popularizing here again. The nicotine content of small cigarettes is much higher than that of traditional cigarettes. Let’s compare the vape with the highest sales volume of 30MG (3%) and traditional cigarettes to make everyone more intuitive. Generally, a 1.5ML e-liquid can smoke about 300 puffs, then a puff of vape will inhale about 0.15MG of nicotine. The nicotine content of a cigarette is about 1MG, and you can smoke about 10 puffs, so 1 cigarette is about Will inhale 0.1MG of nicotine (cigarettes will consume a lot of nicotine after burning, and the nicotine intake of a puff of cigarette is much lower than 0.1MG).
3. The problem of vape smoking cessation effect.
The smoking cessation effect of vape is controversial. As far as my friends are concerned, vape has the effect of smoking cessation. Some friends are no longer adapting to the taste of cigarettes because they fall in love with the taste of vape after smoking vape. The effect of smoking cessation is achieved, and many friends who smoke do not want to use vape at all, so I don’t have much evidence to prove the effect of vape for smoking cessation, but we can quote the research of other authoritative institutions.
The vape product is the most commonly used aid for smokers in the United Kingdom who try to quit smoking. According to data from the British Smoking Cessation Service Center, 27.2% of smokers have used vape products. From 2019 to 2020, vape products were used in local smoking cessation services. -cigarette people, the success rate of quitting smoking is between 59.7 and 74%.
The international academic organization of evidence-based medicine-the Cochran Collaborative Organization pointed out in its latest research review that 50 professional studies conducted on more than 10,000 adult smokers around the world have proved that vape has a smoking cessation effect and has excellent effects For nicotine replacement therapy and other means.
This shows that the smoking cessation effect of vape is still possible. It is not as embarrassing as those who criticize the smoking cessation effect of vape on the Internet. However, due to the short time of vape product appearance, and the rapid product design and iteration speed, the current Compared with the earlier products, the third and fourth generation products are quite different in terms of nicotine transmission. We still need more evidence and more time to verify the smoking cessation effect of vape.
