Snus Revisited

Written by admin on September 23, 2008 – 10:30 am -

One of the most famous firms that turn out snus is Swedish Match. This is also thought to be the best product due to the mix and the packaging and the improved pouch. There are more General snus products offered on the market. In Sweden as an example snus started as a product for the working class and changed into a product for the high class society. The snus produced in Sweden comes in two types : the loose type and the portioned one. When it was 1st developed it was meant to give one the nicotine they required whilst leaving their hands free for work. Swedish snus is placed under the higher lip close to the gum. If the mini pouches are used it is invisible, therefore if you don’t need anybody to grasp you are using it just don’t tell them. Also as it is packed you don’t have to spit it and it is simpler to dump it. A portion should be kept for roughly half an hour, but one can have as many portions a day as wanted. The General snus brand is an example of the few brands that offer maxi portions. The nicotine amount in a pouch varies from 0.4 mg to fifteen mg. The analysis made shows that the quantity of nicotine the body absorbs is half the quantity of nicotine present in a snus portion.

General snus offers pouches with 4, 6, 8, and eleven grams of nicotine. The snus is made thru a special process and the ingredients used are all employed in the alimentary industry too. Nevertheless, not every nation permit snus to be marketed or sold. The states where the snus is promoted are also promoting it as a means of reducing the harm produced by smoking. In the producing process the tobacco can be grinded differently. The finite product does not need to be gnawed or sucked on like the snuff.

DIY Nicotine Dangers

Written by admin on September 15, 2008 – 1:35 pm -

One of the things I really like about the NJOY is the easy to order and handle cartridges.  I recently discovered there are new variety packs available, and I just ordered some today to try out.  They are multi flavored.

Currently NJOY provides regular, menthol, vanilla strawberry, and apple flavors. I know they’re working on some more and I’ll be sharing my favorites as soon as they come in.

These flavors come in various nicotine levels so no one is left out.

I just came across some scary information though.  In the efforts of some to save money or just be adventurous, there are those who are attempting to create their own e-liquid. When doing this, they are adding their own nicotine.  This is something extremely hazardous!

Nicotine is not something to be handled lightly.  In fact, if handled improperly it can and will kill you. As little as a single 60mg drop can leave you 6 feet under. Effects will be felt as a nicotine overdose. The typical dizzyness, nausea, and even vomiting – and before you know it it’s too late.

Here is a list of symptoms to be aware of:

  • Vomiting and nausea, diarrhea
  • Headaches
  • Troubled Breathing
  • Wanness or Pallor (paleness)
  • Sweating
  • Heart Palpitations
  • Stomach Cramps
  • Drooling
  • Fatigue

And ultimately a severe nicotine overdose can cause death.

In the pursuit of nicotine extraction techniques, most methods are untested and can prove dangerous. The formulation of substances used with your electronic cigarette really should be left in the hands of trained chemists. Taking these experiments into your own hands can not only be hazardous for you, but for your family as well.

Be smart.  Order cartridges and don’t play with creating your own concoctions. If there is a flavor or modification you desire, please contact Njoy directly and let them know. They are extremely accomodating, and the safety to their customers is a priority.

12 Advantages to Switching to Electronic Cigarettes

Written by admin on July 7, 2008 – 10:04 am -

Smokers know that traditional smoking is harmful to their health. Yet, for some it is a relaxing or social experience they are not ready to give up. Beyond addiction to nicotine, there are rituals many smokers enjoy that delay their quest to seek ways to stop. Modern technology has a way of catching up and making our lives just a little easier. Possibly one of the greatest new discoveries is that of the electronic cigarette.

The electronic cigarette is basically a device that looks like a cigarette, delivers “smoke” and nicotine, and allows the smoker to enjoy the smoking experience. So if the smoker is still smoking, how can there be advantages?

To begin, because the electronic cigarette is electric, it runs on batteries. This means no lighters, no matches, and no actual flame. At the end of most e-cigarettes is a small light that glows when taking a puff. If you are to drop it or put it down, there is no fire to catch onto anything. Batteries give three advantages. There is no flame so fires are less likely to occur. The consumer will no longer need to purchase lighter fluid, lighters or matches, making for much less pollution. And the batteries are rechargeable, also adding to less waste.

The smoke emitted from an e-cigarette is not really smoke but just a vapor. It lasts just long enough to give the appearance of being smoke, but quickly disappears into thin air. There is no hovering cloud of smoke or second hand smoke. Since there is no smoke, the smell does not permeate clothing, hair, and surroundings like real smoke. No second hand smoke makes the use of electronic smoking devices safe around friends and family. The lack of saturating or offensive odors and no dangerous emissions make e-cigarettes sociably friendly.

A cartridge for the electronic cigarette can last the equivalent of 2 packs of cigarettes. When comparing waste left behind from smoking, this cartridge uses far less resources than the production and waste left from even one pack of cigarettes. Instead of as many as 40 cigarette butts and 2 empty boxes, there is one small cartridge and mouthpiece. This makes for savings in personal space when traveling. Gas is saved in the transport of product refills. And landfill pollution has just been greatly reduced.

While the cost of tax on tobacco increases, the cartridges used with smoking an e-cigarette are not subject to those taxes. E-cigarettes can cut the cost of smoking in half or more. In addition, patches and other quit smoking medications can be just as expensive as cigarettes. While the e-cigarette has not been proven to be an official smoking cessation device, it does provide a healthier alternative to smoking without the side effects caused by the patch and medicines. A smoker can cut their smoking costs in half and reduce the risks of tobacco smoking by avoiding those 4000 toxins found in regular cigarettes.

Finally, because electric cigarettes are not considered smoking, they are legal in more places. This means you can use the device in some restaurants and places where it is unacceptable to smoke. This alone could be the biggest advantage to a smoker. Many apartments and rentals require non-smoking tenants. Users of e-cigarettes are not considered smokers.

These advantages are just the beginning. Perhaps with research, e-smoking can eventually be used as a successful replacement for smokers, and lead to permanent nicotine reduction for those wishing to do so in the future. For now, it is definitely something for every smoker to consider as a better, considerably less toxic way to smoke.
