Comparison between E-Cigarette Vapor and Tobacco Smoke

In a 2014 study published in the British Journal of Medical Practice researchers from University College London acknowledged the use of electronic cigarettes as replacements for traditional combustible cigarettes, and theorized about the potential benefit for the public health community. The researchers found that “the vapor contains nothing like the concentrations of carcinogens and toxins as cigarette smoke. In fact, toxin concentrations are almost all well below 1/20th that of cigarette smoke.”


Comparison between E-Cigarette Vapor and Tobacco Smoke. In fact, the byproducts that are measured in e-cigarette vapor are across the board minuscule, especially in comparison to traditional cigarettes. Back in 2012, another study looked to determine the effect of e-cigarette vapor on indoor air quality. “For all byproducts measured, electronic cigarettes produce very small exposures about tobacco cigarettes. The study indicates no apparent risk to human health from e-cigarette emissions based on the compounds analyzed.”



Also, one of the greatest benefits when it comes to cutting back on second-hand emissions is electronic cigarettes do not give off any standing emissions. Dr. Neal Benowitz is an MD and a former member of the FDA’s Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee. He is not a staunch e-cigarette supporter, but he is quick to point out this very important fact. All of the second-hand exposure from e-cigarettes comes from the user’s exhaled breathe, which is, in most cases, considerably less than what was inhaled in the first place. Cigarettes, by contrast, pollute the atmosphere and others’ lungs in a continuous stream. According to Dr. Benowitz, “seventy-five percent of the smoke generated by cigarettes is side stream smoke, and that goes into the environment.”


Comparison between E-Cigarette Vapor and Tobacco Smoke.Even if e-cigarette aerosol were as dangerous as cigarette smoke, which we have seen it is nowhere near, just the sheer difference in the amount of emissions would make a huge dent in our overall public health.There’s already a lot of news out there regarding whether or not e-cigarettes are safe. No one can answer the question of their safety definitively just yet but whether they are or not what they do is stand a chance at making a significant difference in our overall public health. Based on the given evidence, there is no doubt that people will be healthier if those around them make the decision to vape instead of smoke, not to mention most vapers report feeling healthier too.


Currently, new bans are going up all over the place, and now in National Parks, but the reality is, the big RV that’s driving through Yellowstone, will be harming the air you breathe far more than anyone who is using an electronic cigarette. Yes, we know e-cigarettes are safer for the environment (not to mention how much less trash is created, and fewer trees cut down) but in the second-hand sense, they are even less harmful than what you breathe when you are parked in traffic or pumping gas into your car.
