New Blucigs article

The e-cigarette is rapidly gaining popularity with smokers. Because of their rising popularity, many companies have been started in the last few years to meet the demand for e-cigarettes. At first, most of the e-cigarette companies were located in China. However, there are now several American firms that have started to make and market the e-cigarette. Of the American firms, Blu Cigs, which is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, is becoming very popular with many e-cigarette purchasers. The Blu Cigs e-cigarette uses technology similar to other e-cigarette brands. Like most other e-cigarettes, the Blue Cigs e-cigarette is not really smoked but instead is "vaped". That is because e-cigarettes do not burn anything. Instead, e-cigarettes vaporize liquid nicotine into a fine mist that is inhaled, hence the term "vape". The liquid nicotine, which is contained in a special cartridge, is turned into a mist by mechanism known as an atomizer. The atomizer in the Blu Cigs e-cigarette is powered by a small rechargeable lithium ion battery. Like many other e-cigarettes, the Blu Cigs e-cigarette uses an Light Emitting Diode (LED) that glows when a user inhales on it, mimicking the effect of a real cigarette. But, unlike most of the LEDs used in other e-cigarettes, which typically emit a reddish or orange light, the LED in the Blu Cigs e-cigarette emits a blue light. The blue light gives the Blu Cigs e-cigarette a distinctive look, setting it apart from other e-cigarettes. It also serves as a cue to others that a real cigarette is not being smoked, which is important in environments where real smoking is prohibited. The Blug Cigs e-cigarette starter kit cost $59.95. At that price, the Blu Cigs e-cigarette is very competitive with other brands of e-cigarettes. The starter kit includes one e-cigarette, a pack for holding batteries and nicotine cartridges, two atomizers, one wall charger, a USB charger, and 25 Free liquid nicotine cartridges. Finally, the liquid nicotine cartridges from Blu Cigs come in many different flavors. Flavors include tobacco, coffee, cherry, vanilla, and menthol.

An other positive blucigs Testimonial

When I first seen the blu electronic cigarette website my first reaction was "AMAZING". Blu is completely unique when it comes to the electronic cigarette market. Like a couple of the other companies that are based in the USA they give a 30 day money back guarantee, as well as free shipping! A sign that they are real confident about their product. Not to mention thier support was prompt and curtious the one time I had to contact them. To start with blu electronic cigarettes are totally affordable. For about the carton of cigarettes you can get the whole blu electronic cigarette starter kit along with a carton of e-cig refill cartridges. Thats right everything you need to smoke for more than a week for under $60. Unlike most of the other elctronic cigarette companies the blu refill cartridges are only $1. So you can get a full carton of refills (25 cartridges) for only $25! Not to mention the more you buy the less they cost, buy in bulk and only pay $20 per carton. The next thing that completely blew me away about blu is the package. Blu electronic cigarettes come with the Blu pack. But this is not just some cigarette pack sized carrying case. The blu pack holds everything you need. You can keep your blu elctronic cigarette, an extra batter, 5 refill cartridges, and even your charger inside this pack. But the blu pack does not stop there. Because the blu pack is even a charger in itself. The blu pack holds enough juice to recharge your spare batter up to six times. So all you really need to do is keep your blu pack charged and it will keep your spare battery fully charged no matter where you go. Now this would be killer for camping and other fun outdoor stuff.

Ecigarettes and the FDA

FDA smoke screen on e-cigarettes

At a time when the government is ostensibly trying to cut health costs, why is it trying to ban something that might help people quit smoking tobacco, perhaps the most devastating health problem in the U.S.?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a press conference late last month to scare Americans about the so-called "e-cigarette" -- claiming it was loaded with harmful "toxins" and "carcinogens." The agency was implicitly saying: Stay away from these newfangled, untested cigarette substitutes -- better to stick with the real ones, the ones that we are more familiar with, the ones that cause over 450,000 deaths annually in the U.S.

In making its distorted, incomplete and misleading statement, FDA was violating its long-cherished tradition of sticking to sound science as the basis for its policies. And in doing so, it is putting the lives and health of millions of Americans at risk.

The truthful part of the FDA statement was that e-cigarettes have not been through formal efficacy and safety tests at the FDA, and they have only been around a few years. But in the press conference, here is what the FDA did not tell you but should have:

c Traditional cigarettes are lethal not because of the trace level presence of specific "carcinogens" and "toxins," but because by using them, smokers inhale enormous amounts of smoke -- otherwise known as "products of combustion." It is the inhaled smoke that kills in so many ways -- from cancers, cardiovascular and lung disease, and more.

c The cigarette was a relatively obscure product in our society until the invention of a cigarette rolling machine, and sales rose quickly prior to World War I.

Before that, tobacco was used relatively safely -- in chew, pipes, cigars -- because little if any smoke was inhaled. Cigarettes changed all of that.

c The e-cigarette -- a cigarette-mimicking device made up of a battery, an atomizer and a cartridge -- allows smokers to inhale, getting a dose of the nicotine they crave, and then sending steam out the other end (with little or no odor) to mimic the ritual and feel of smoking normal cigarettes.

c The FDA complained that the e-cigarette was a "nicotine-delivery system." Well, it got that much right. But again, it's the smoke that kills, not the nicotine. Yes, nicotine is highly addictive, and it is what keeps the smoker hooked. But getting the nicotine without the smoke is an enormous health advantage for cigarette smokers (the nicotine inserts come in various strengths and the users can adjust them downward as they wish).

c The FDA has approved other nicotine-delivery systems in the form of gums and patches -- and they have been abysmal failures. The smoking cessation rates using these devices is less than 15 percent after one year, condemning millions of addicted smokers to a lingering death. We desperately need other alternatives. But the FDA has now joined a long list of so-called public-health organizations -- including the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids and the American Lung Association -- whose collective motto seems to be "quit or die." Not only do they reject e-cigarettes, but they also condemn other smokeless products like snus, which have a mere fraction of the health risks associated with smoking cigarettes.

c More than 1 million smokers are now using the e-cigarette -- a product that offers some, if not all, of the "social amenities" of the real thing -- holding the cigarette, taking a drag, seeing a plume of "smoke." The FDA, lacking data that e-cigarettes pose a health hazard, was so desperate, it called on consumers to phone in adverse side effects of e-cigarettes so they could begin to build a case against them and proceed with their intended ban. They neglected, however, to request smokers who successfully quit using the e-cigarette to also call in.

Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States today. Any alternative acceptable to addicted smokers should be taken seriously. Instead of condemning the e-cigarette, the FDA should be sponsoring studies to evaluate its safety and efficacy -- leaving it on the market in the interim.

Ryanair will allow ecigarettes on their planes

Ryanair isn't the first carrier to allow "smokeless"cigarettes on their planes. These devices mimic the sensation of puffing, I'm told by a user, with a water vapor that is released. What makes the announcement distinctly "Ryanair" is that the devices are now being sold on its flights.

You can buy a pack of ten of these smokeless wonders for €6. To purchase the equivalent of a pack of cigs, you're looking at $17.

So, it really is just another way for Ryanair to squeeze a few extra bucks out of each passenger, but at least the airline isn't taking something away (like your seat or your pissing privileges.
