The Medical Daily reports an incident of a Florida man using a modified electronic cigarette (there is evidence that he modified the battery) who lost some of his teeth and parts of his tongue is when an electronic cigarette exploded in his mouth.  He is recovering in the hospital, fire officials said on Wednesday.  More here:  …

What more can I say?  I love this thing!  Saved so much $$$, in the process of saving my LUNGS, and no more having to run out on smoke breaks.  Two thumbs up on this one!

Man, I love my elec cig.  It has saved me on so many occasions where I would normally be unable to smoke.  Just keeping it nearby, hopping into the corner or a restroom, taking a puff or two, and I feel fine.  Plus no toxins or any of that crap that they put into normal cigs!  Life is gooooooood.

Elec Cigs are, (obviously), much more healthy than reg cigs!  Apparently the elec cigs just deliver a dose of nicotine and some vapor.  That's it!  I always wondered in the back of my head if these were too good to be true, but they are NOT!  With determination, I WILL quit reg cigs!  WooHoo!

So I am beginning to really start to ween myself off of regular cigs and utilize my elec cig more.  My father actually went to the doctors the other day and asked which is better for you, reg cigs or elec cigs.  Obviously, the elec cig won the contest.  But he told him that it is pretty much just vapor with a bit of nicotine in it.  That makes me even more excited to rely on my VictoryTek cig more!  This thing rocks!

Several cruise lines have further limited smoking on ships, leaving a few designated areas as the last refuge to light up at sea.

Cruise lines are stepping up their efforts to snuff out smoking on ships due to changing guest preferences and fewer smokers aboard…

VictoryTek has long felt that logic and common sense should prevail for smokers.  So many people like the nicotine, but getting it through burning and inhaling tobacco leaves is an awfully imbalanced way to enjoy nicotine.  If we are all about the nicotine, aren't there better ways to get it?

And... is it really common sense to outlaw a product that helps people to minimize or possibly eliminate the single largest cause of preventable death in the country?  As such the IOM…

The head rush comes because cigarette smoke displaces the amount of oxygen into the lungs, and therefore the blood. The term for what we experience when we smoke tobacco is hypoxia- albeit a mild form.  Hypoxia is a shortage of oxygen to the brain, which causes the head rush and occasionally dizziness.  

There will be less of a tendency for headrushes with your VictoryTek electronic cigarette, because there is no smoke, only a water-based vapor.  Oxygen is not displaced.  It…

This article by the Mayo Staff Clinic illuminates some of these hazards, indicating that this habit might be more harmful that we might think:  …

Despite the best efforts of anti-smoking advocates to educate, tax, and ban tobacco users out of their habit, millions of people continue to smoke and over 443,000 of them die each year in the U.S. as a result.

VictoryTek has heard from customers all over the world that smoking helps them to keep their weight under control, and that when they stop smoking, that weight gain is eminent.  Is this just speculation, or is there some truth to it?

Due to the catestrophic affects of cigarette smoking upon health, nicotine has gotten a pretty bad rap.  But there are benefits to using Nicotine too.  VictoryTek is studying some of these.

Abstract

VictoryTek has long known that there are benefits to nicotine.  Its just that the way that most people get their nicotine is so imbalanced (tar's, chemicals, carcinogens, and other harmful ingredients).  But the nicotine itself is something that the brain actually LIKES.  

The remarkable protective effects of nicotine — the addictive chemical in tobacco — on the brain are continuing to surprise scientists. One recent…
