It's the season to be jolly!

Ah, Christmas. We look forward to it all year, and when it finally gets here, is it really all good fun? Family get-togethers, feasts of food, beer and wine flowing endlessly, the hustle and bustle of getting to the next gathering decently on time.

Watching your mouth around your grandparents, sitting on the sidelines when dueling political conversations arise, football trash-talk, eating way too much of said Christmas left-overs, being careful not to down too many glasses of wine. The best time of the year can also be the most stressful time of the year!

For smokers, having a smoke can mean a fantastic escape! A pleasant little interlude to break away from the crowd, maybe help your digestion a little by slowing down the intake, getting a breath of fresh air.

Cigarettes are pretty well known for offering some stress relief, and if you are among those who have switched over to e-cigarettes, vapour is no different! In fact, smoking vapour cigs can often provide even more stress relief than traditional cigs because they are so much more convenient to use, anytime, anywhere!

Even if you can use them indoors, heading out for a “smoke” is a perfectly fine excuse when you’re using your e-smoke, and just need a few moments to regroup.

Want to know how to handle the Christmas period with as little stress as possible? First of all, make sure you are using e-cigarettes. If all else fails, you’ve got your nicotine and vapour, and you’re set.

Get used to the fact that you can’t control everything, some things are inevitable, like political debates amongst extended family members. Starter kits and extra e-cig accessories make excellent gifts for the smokers in your life, and they are the perfect hostess gift for those throwing those parties.

If you overindulge in the food, have a few puffs, they will help you relax. If you have long, and somewhat uncomfortable distances to drive, your e-cigs can make it more enjoyable and tolerable.

Need a conversation starter during one of those long, awkward silent spells after Christmas dinner? Show Grandad how your e-cigarette works, you’ll knock his socks off!

During Christmas, no matter the situation, electronic smoking can make everything a little brighter!

Roll up, Roll up.....I think NOT!

Many smokers believe that roll-your-own or RYO cigarettes are not as harmful as manufactured cigarettes. Many RYO smokers change to smoking roll-ups rather than stop smoking in the mistaken belief that they will smoke less tobacco and inhale fewer toxic chemicals.  

But hand-rolling tobacco is as just as harmful as the tobacco in manufactured cigarettes.  Research using roll-up cigarettes made by smokers, shows that the levels of nicotine and cancer-causing chemicals inhaled are often higher than those from bought cigarettes.  RYO cigarettes are more likely to cause mouth, throat and lung cancer as well as lung diseases such as emphysema and heart disease.

Tar yields

Tar yields for roll-ups are higher than for most manufactured brands.  Researchers asked 26 regular RYO smokers to make a number of their usual roll-ups.  The researchers then tested the RYO cigarettes and showed that over half of the hand-rolled cigarettes gave tar yields above the current maximum level of 15 mg for manufactured cigarettes.  Tar contains most of the cancer-causing chemicals and lung irritants.

Nicotine yields

Nicotine yields from hand-rolled cigarettes are often higher than for manufactured cigarettes.  Less than one in ten cigarette brands in the UK has a declared nicotine yield above 1.5mg per cigarette in laboratory tests. Over three quarters of the RYO cigarettes in the study produced a nicotine yield above this level.

Humectants in hand rolling tobacco

There are more humectants in rolling tobacco than in manufactured cigarettes.  Humectants are added to prevent the tobacco from drying out and to make it taste smoother.   Humectants yield some very toxic chemicals such as acrolein.

Lack of filters

Filters in RYO cigarettes are not always used but they remove almost a half of the tar and nicotine. However, even with filters, smokers tend to compensate if they don’t get enough nicotine by smoking more or taking deeper puffs to ‘top-up’ nicotine levels.  Filters don’t reduce the carbon monoxide.

RYO smokers have higher nicotine dependence

A study compared addiction levels of RYO smokers with smokers who use the same number of manufactured cigarettes per day.  People who smoke roll-ups are generally more addicted to nicotine and are less likely to stop smoking.  Some highly addicted smokers use roll ups because it gives them more control over the nicotine ‘dose’.  

Who smokes roll-ups?

The majority of RYO smokers in the UK are older men.    A quarter of all male smokers use rolling tobacco.  Less than one in twenty women smokers uses RYO.  A third of poorer smokers use roll-ups because rolling tobacco is cheaper.   

Higher tar - lower tax

EU regulations for tar and nicotine levels in cigarettes do not apply to rolling tobacco even though most of the RYO cigarettes are more dangerous than manufactured cigarettes. Hand-rolling tobacco is taxed and priced at a lower level – about half that of packaged cigarettes.  In countries where cigarettes are cheap or rolling tobacco is expensive, very few people use RYO cigarettes.  In the Netherlands more than half of all tobacco smoked in the country is RYO because of price differences.

Solution

Similar to manufactured cigarettes, tar and nicotine levels need to be restricted and smokers informed of the increased dangers of smoking without a filter.   Higher tax on cigarettes and rolling tobacco would encourage more smokers to quit or try INCIG electronic cigarettes.

The Future's Bright, the Future 'is' INCIG

There’s no getting around it; the future of smoking is WITHOUT a doubt electronic. It is predicted that within a few short years, more people will be smoking e-cigarettes in favour of traditional smokes, as tobacco continues to be replaced. Wouldn’t you choose the healthier of the two options, if the sensation was the same? 

Tobacco has been problematic from the beginning of its rampant use. Commercially produced cigarettes saw the market skyrocket.

The war on tobacco has been going on for a long time now, especially when it comes to the marketing geared towards youth. Cigarette companies have long targeted teenagers and even children, utilizing every possible attempt to make cigarette smoking seem attractive, glamorous, cool, and macho. Thankfully, the majority of this marketing has been reduced to an extreme minimum, and children and teenagers are more aware than any previous generation how terrible cigarettes are.

Electronic cigarettes are much more in tune with the way modern people are living. Most people do not have the time to sit back and smoke cigarettes lazily, dealing with ash trays and the litter that follows.

Cigarettes also pose the problem of not being accepted everywhere, and it can be quite a burden to be constantly searching for a place to smoke or where you feel comfortable smoking without creating a burden on others. With less and less people smoking, most do not want to inhale second hand smoke!

The majority of people are also constantly pressed for time and do not have any to waste. All of these small reasons really begin to add up, and it really is hard to have to set aside so much time and exert so much energy planning just to accommodate a smoking habit!

E-smokes are not just easier to use because they are smoke- and mess-free, but also because of the many options you get with e-cig accessories, you can tailor your vaping to fit your life! E-cigarette refills are also much simpler. When you vape, you simply vape.

Second hand smoke, or any smoke for that matter, lighters, ash, butts, and feeling self conscious all the get thrown out the window (without littering) because they simply become a thing of the past.

Simply put, e-cigarettes are the future of smoking because people want more simplicity to focus on the things that really matter. People (smokers) want the same freedom as non-smokers, without the trouble of offending others.

The future lies in our hands, and a future that involves cleaner, healthier, more conscious options is a whole lot brighter than the doom that lies is tobacco. With more people opting for vapour cigarettes over traditional, it’s pretty safe to say we are headed in that direction.

Smoke Less? - use INCIG e-cigarettes

One of best things about INCIG electronic cigarettes is that they are reusable, thus very environmentally friendly and a good way to enjoy nicotine. They are definitely the less consuming option.

Unlike cigarettes, which cause harm to those who use them, and those exposed to the second hand smoke, INCIG e-cigs go above and beyond to remain safe for humans and the planet.

While our electronic cigarette cartomisers are essentially made to be thrown away after use, they are still more responsible of a product. Just one of our cartomiser refill is equivalent to approx 30 traditional cigarettes, making them a lot less wasteful.

So even if you smoke a pack of 20 a day, you are going to take that down to less than one e-cig refill every two days, pretty impressive eh?

Also to consider, they are much less likely to be discarded as irresponsibly as typical cigarettes by users just throwing them on the floor after use as is often the case with cigarette butts.

INCIG e-cigs are definitely better for your health, the environment, and better value for money as the price per cigarette is an amazing 6p per equivalent cigarette. That means that 20 electronic cigarettes is £1.20. We will leave you to do the maths.

So because each of our electronic cigarette refill cartomisers is equal to around one 30 cigarettes, it means that you will undoubtedly have lots of spare cash at your disposal.

There are other ways in which INCIG e-cigs can positively influence your cash flow. There will be no need to continually purchase lighters. Your surroundings will be free from smelly smoke thus you will no longer need to buy ‘additional’ cleansing products which disguise the smell of the traditional cigarette, such as fragrances, air refreshers, air filters, chewing gum, teeth whiteners……do we need to go on?!

We aren’t saying you won’t use any of those things again once you get rid of the tobacco cigarettes for INCIG e-cigs, but we will bet that you wont need to buy as many and use them less, ultimately saving you more in the long run.

It is clear in our society today that people are now more conscious of the products they purchase. If you have a choice, are you more likely to choose the more responsible route?

People are more conscious of their health then ever before, the environment, and how much they pay for products than ever before.

So when choosing ‘a way’ to smoke, e-cigarettes are the ‘ONLY’ way to go.

INCIG e-cigs takes the fright out of Halloween

It’s always a good time to choose e-cigarettes over a traditional smoke, and hey, Halloween is nearly upon us, and it’s as good a time as any! While Halloween is on the brain, here are 5 good reasons why the scariest night of the year should not involve tobacco smoke!

1. Halloween is especially fun for the children, and it’s never appropriate to smoke cigarettes around them. Exposing them to smoke can be totally avoided, whether you just stop yourself from smoking in their presence, or you do the intelligent thing and use electronic cigarettes. This way, when you’re trick or treating, or handing out sweets to the hordes of revellers, you don’t put anyone in uncomfortable situations, and you can have your cake and eat it too!

2. If you are to indulge on some forbidden vice on Halloween let it be sweets, and not smoke, if you are to choose between them. INCIG e cigarettes are much gentler on the system, no matter what time of year anyway.

3. Halloween parties are fun, but smokers in large social gatherings usually get sent out to pasture. Stay indoors and electric smoke, don’t miss any of the party, and infuriate no one with smoke.

4. The clocks have just gone back and some places in the UK are already experiencing cold weather. Getting on all your winter warmers up to smoke outside is such a ‘drag’. Again, e-cigs are perfectly fine indoors, and even if Halloween is just another night of the week for you and don’t even intend on handing out treats, you won’t have to brave cold.

5. Did you know that Halloween’s original roots can be traced back to the Pagan and Druid times of the Celtic world? It was technically their “New Year” so in that vain, start your year right, with a purposeful resolution to quit smoking, and use INCIG e cigarettes so you can still have the pleasure, none of the pain, and be free from the smoke!
