do you know? smokers are encouraged to turn to vaping in Bristol

Here I'd like to share some good news about vaping, it may help you get familiar with ecigs:

Vaping, as an alternative to smoking, is being encouraged by Bristol City Council this week as they take to the streets hoping to convert people to the tobacco alternative.

They will be tackling the issues caused by carbon monoxide in the body – a substance found in cigarettes but not e-cigarettes.

Councillor Fi Hance, Assistant Mayor for Neighbourhoods with responsibility for Public Health, said: “Smoking is the biggest preventable cause of death in England, so I’d encourage smokers to try anything they can to quit. The advice from Public Health is that for people who are long-term smokers, e-cigarettes are a much better option than smoking tobacco – and they can be an effective quitting tool. E-cigarettes stills provide nicotine, which is what people smoke for, but without the damaging tar, toxic substances and carbon monoxide which cause the serious health problems.

“As a former smoker I know how difficult it can be to give up, but I’m so glad I did. As a council we’re absolutely committed to helping people stop – there’s really no better time to quit than today.”

A team from the council will be in four e-cigarette shops in the city centre on National Stop Smoking Day offering people the chance to have a carbon monoxide tests to see how levels in the body differ between smokers, and those who prefer vaping.

Marcus Munafò, Professor of Biological Psychology at Bristol University and an expert in the field of e-cigarettes, said: “Like many things in life e-cigarettes are not totally risk-free, but compared to smoking they cause a fraction of the harm. If smokers can switch to vaping that’s a good thing – and people should try to switch completely rather than smoke and vape. Many people don’t realise that e-cigarettes are much less harmful than smoking or aren’t sure – and that is something we need to address.”

E-cigarettes helped up to 22,000 English smokers quit in 2014

When I skim Link-in, I found such a report, which I'd like to share:

Researchers from University College London have taken an in-depth look at smoking cessation data and the role of e-cigarettes. The findings trumpet the praises of e-cigarettes as an aid to quitting conventional cigarettes, although their trumpets are slightly more muted than those from other quarters.

E-cigarettes divide the scientific community. Recent research delves into the data for answers.
Over the past few years, for better or worse, e-cigarettes have barely left the headlines.

As of early 2014, there were 466 brands and 7,764 unique flavors of e-cigarette products.

From 2003-2014, the sale of e-cigarettes has grown exponentially year on year. This surge has prompted much debate and investigation.

Health concerns over carcinogens and worries that e-cigarettes offer a newer, softer route into the world of tobacco smoking have dominated popular news.

Despite the clear and unabashed prevalence of this new trend, data and analysis regarding its effectiveness as a smoking cessation aid is difficult to dissect.

The tough data of quitting

Reliable information is hard to come by, partly because the habit of smoking is a fluid issue; some people smoke occasionally, some smoke both cigarettes and their electronic counterparts, others fluctuate between the two, and others might intermittently use other nicotine replacement aids, like patches or gum.

To further muddy the murky waters, some smokers quit tobacco but then take up e-cigarettes as a way to prevent relapse. And when has a quitter quit? After 3 clear months? Or maybe 12 months of abstinence? The variables to consider are bewildering.

The team from University College London (UCL) delved into questionnaire data taken during the stratospheric rise of e-cigarettes; they recently published their findings in the journal Addiction. According to author Prof. Robert West:

“E-cigarettes appear to be helping a significant number of smokers to stop who would not have done otherwise – not as many as some e-cigarette enthusiasts claim, but a substantial number nonetheless.”

The team found that 16,000-22,000 people in England (who would have otherwise continued smoking) stopped smoking courtesy of e-cigarettes. These results seem like positive findings, and to a certain extent, they are. However, they are substantially less than the numbers given by some e-cigarette supporters and manufacturers; plenty of questions remain.

Smoking statistics

Below is the rough train of thought that the UCL team used to arrive at the report’s findings:

In early 2014, 19.3% of people over 16 years of age in England smoked, equating to 8.46 million people
During 2014, 37.3% of the English smoking population attempted to quit at least once (3.16 million people)
Of those individuals who tried to quit, 28.2% or 891,000 people, used e-cigarettes rather than nicotine replacement aids, such as patches, or counseling
At the 1-year mark, success rates for quitting without any assistance, including nicotine replacement, is roughly 5%
Questionnaire data has shown that using an e-cigarette in a quit attempt increases the chances of success by around 50%, compared with no help or buying nicotine replacement items from a shop (in the UK, nicotine replacement therapies purchased from a shop have been found to have no increased success rate, unless they are accompanied by professional support)
It is therefore estimated that 2.5% of the smokers who used an e-cigarette in their quit attempt in England (22,000 individuals) succeeded who would have failed if they had used nothing or nicotine replacement from a shop.
The results seem to show that e-cigarettes, at least as far as quitting smoking conventional cigarettes is concerned, have had a positive impact on the problem. But there are still multiple unanswered questions to bat around.

Deepening e-cigarette queries

Although the UCL team has access to reams of data, there will always be questions that cannot be answered without further, more pointed information mining. One question, raised by dissenters, is that of non-smokers being tempted into smoking tobacco by the lure of e-cigarettes. The UCL team rejects this:

“Regular use of e-cigarettes by never smokers is extremely rare, and the decline in smoking prevalence in young people has been as great or greater than in previous years.”

Other questions that the authors hope to answer in the future include the issue of whether using e-cigarettes while continuing to smoke might reduce the number of attempts at quitting further down the line.

Prof. West also asks whether smokers who quit using e-cigarettes might be more or less prone to relapses. These questions, and others like them, will take many years and great silos of data to illuminate.

Medical News Today recently covered research that pointed in the opposite direction and asked whether e-cigarettes might reduce chance of smokers quitting.

The history of electronic cigarette from 1963 until today

The electronic cigarette has managed in a very short time to gain the trust of millions of smokers around the world and offer them a better quality of life. The similarity to the traditional cigarette, the low cost and the technological superiority of the made to distinguish among all other alternative smoking products, while analysts predict that sales will exceed sales of traditional cigarettes, the latest in the next decade.

The course of the electronic cigarette was not always upward, and suffered a severe attack on the beginnings and continues to receive from those who have personal interest in the tobacco industry and the tax on cigarettes.

The history of electronic cigarette, from conception until today!

1963: An idea is born ...

And if you seem strange, the first electronic cigarette appeared in 1963, when the inventor. Gilbert designed a device which produced steam by heating rather than through combustion. But at that time smoking was not yet criminalized for deadly diseases and constitute a socially acceptable habit. On the other hand, major cigarette manufacturers, even though they knew how harmful was their health product, refused to invest in this revolutionary device, simply because their smoking offered fantastic profits.

2000: An unpleasant event is to change the daily routine of millions of smokers.

Years after the original invention that would change once and for all the habit of millions of people in the world, a pharmacist from China, the Hon Lik, loses his father from cancer and decides to design a device that will offer smokers 'safer' smoking through steam and not burning.

2004: The electronic cigarette comes true

Four years later, the Lik dream becomes reality when the first electronic cigarettes are manufactured under the name "Ruyan", which means "like smoking" and forwarded to the Chinese market.

2005 - 2007: The electronic cigarette arrives in Europe and America.

This prototype made its appearance in Europe, where smokers are a large portion of the population with the hope that it will meet their need for smoking with something less harmful. Also, the electronic cigarette is more economical than the traditional, so quickly gained the interest and confidence of European smokers and expand the US market.

2008: High demand brings even greater supply.

The industry has long recognized the benefit from the sale of electronic cigarettes and more and more companies launch new models.

2009 - 2010: The first reactions, the laws and prohibitions.

The effort to ban the circulation of e-cigs, began with the argument that nicotine is a drug, and therefore, since the electronic cigarette contains nicotine, should have a marketing authorization. Why not apply the same for traditional cigarettes that contain nicotine?

Naturally, the e-cigarette companies reacted and vindicated after the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) was forced to retreat under judgment. Of course, this decision in no way affected the media which continued to publish false announcements on risks of the product to create doubts in public. This resulted in the reduction of the electronic cigarette sales and create a negative impression to consumers.

Like that presented the need to create groups / communities consisted of "steamer" and aimed to reasonable exchange of information and personal experiences as a way out against the ban.

2011 - 2012: The scientific community supports the "steaming".

The following year, began to be published early research on electronic cigarette supporting the claim that this device may be an alternative to smoking for a smoker.

In 2012, Professor K. Farsalinos, with the publication of his research, stressed that the "steaming" is certainly better than smoking, changing forever the image of the electronic cigarette. Indeed, some time later, one could obtain an e-cigarette and even mini market in the neighborhood.

2013 - Today ...

The electronic cigarette still gaining more ground with thousands of smokers to switch to this or to quit smoking or to improve their daily lives without deprivation. To meet the ever increasing needs of "steaming", the electronic cigarette devices rapidly evolve thus circulate already marketed devices 3rd and 4th generation. The next step is to create devices that can protect the user from misuse, automatically.

do you know the new functions of KC haha battery?

The most important for clients is the safe to use the electronic cigarette, I heard of that there are many factories lost their integrity, they selling the goods at low price with high defectives, even the rubbish, we take quality of the goods as the first in the business, we had added many protections in our battery. Such as below:

Short circuit protection:

If there is short circuit when working, the battery would stop work and the Button led flash 3 times quick, you may change the atomizer and test again,

Atomizer protection: HAHA battery has a 10 seconds run time protection. The light will flash 10 times if the button is pressed for more than 10 seconds.

Low voltage protection: When the battery voltage is less than 3.3V, the button light flashes for 10 times and the device power-off. Press the button cannot power on.

Lithium battery cell protection: HAHA battery has added Lithium protection, in order to make the battery more steady to use.

5v over-charged protection: HAHA battery has added 5v over-charged protection. When using 5V charger, li-ion battery IC will prevent battery voltage over 4.25v (Do not recommend using this long term, the constant current of adapter need to be 100-500MA)

This is totally a great product, but pls pay more attention when charged, for it's an electronic products, just note that:

 1. When charging, pls don’t use the charger above 5V or 2A . It’s better to use 5v, 500 mah/1A charger.

 2.  Don’t leave the battery charged unattended.

 3.  Don’t charge the battery for more than 5 h .

different and common details between new KC haha battery and previous haha battery

below are features that the new HAHA battery keeps from the old versions:

1.     Vacuum coating, no scratch at all, very glossy.

2.     LED light showing battery power: >50%--white color; 10%-50%--blue color; <10%--red color

3.     it has 5 click lock/unlock function.

4.     Full power output: voltage >3.7v, constant 3.7v output voltage; 3.2v <voltage <3.7v, practical output voltage; voltage <3.2v, low power.

5.     Micro 5pin USB port, same with the Samsung mobile phones.

6.     Vape while charging functions.

These are all of the welcomed functions of the haha battery, so the new HAHA batteries would keep them and upgrade some different to make the battery prefect now.

1.  Insulating outer tube, more safe using.

2.  Best circuit board, has over-charge/over-discharge/short-circuit protection.

3. ego thread-510 thread, new KC haha battery changes to 510 thread, if you like ego thread, you just need a connector, very easy and convenient.

What's KC haha battery and its features

Referring to the haha battery, you might know it if you were in Korea in 2014. It sold very very hot in Korea, but because of the Korea Government limitation, now we had updated the battery with the KC certificate.

TRUEMAN newest HAHA Battery, based on HAHA battery, more advanced function. This latest KC HAHA from TRUEMAN is a little different from evod passthrough battery, the new HAHA are 510 thread with insulating outer tube, matching with 510 thread atomizer or using 510->ego adapter with ego thread atomizer. Insulating outer tube means ground wire not welding the screw, so no voltage can be measured, much safer when smoking and charging. There are charging port and LED light at the bottom of the battery.

Compared with other evod passthrough battery, new HAHA use special vacuum coating, no scratch at all, very glossy. Also, dues to the insulating outer tube and over-charge/over-discharge/short-circuit protection, the battery can be used a much longer period of time, much safer when using. According to statistics, the lifetime of HAHA has increased 50% and charging times increased 15%.

Here are the parameters of the battery, 9 colors are all available same with HaHa battery: black, silver, brown, gray, titanium, rainbow, blue, gold, pearl white, pearl pink, pearl black and pearl red. The battery Capacity: 650mah and size is 14mm*81.96mm. Be similar with the haha battery. It can be matched with the atomizer from 1.5ohm to 3.5ohm.
