Green Nicotine: Carcinogen Free Smoking

A couple of weeks ago, I happened to be in the terminal at Orlando International Airport.  As I was walking to my gate, I noticed the man walking next to me had this cigarette-like thing between his lips, and appeared to be enjoying it like a true cigarette.  I smoked three packs a day for about 30 years before quitting, so I asked him what type of stick he was enjoying.  He said it was “Green Nicotine”, and gave me an explanation of how he was smoking without really smoking.

His explanation intrigued me, so when I got home I began to do a little research on this device…and that’s what it is; a device.  Green Nicotine is an electronic cigarette that runs on a battery that lasts for a little more than the equivalent cigarette pack .  It comes with two batteries so you can always keep one charged and ready to “smoke”.   To begin using, just inhale…no kidding!  There’s a computer chip that senses the moving air and activates it…the wonders of technology.

Breast Cancer is Accelerated by Nicotine

The fatal effect that nicotine has on human bodies has been well documented. It may be especially injurious to women, however, because it seems to aid the spread of breast cancer tumors to other parts of the body.

The harmful effects of this lethal component in tobacco have already received considerable attention by researchers. All types of cancers including those of lungs, neck, head and prostrate have been extensively studied and their relationship with nicotine has been analyzed extensively.

Adding to this body of knowledge is the recent study conducted on how nicotine is related to Breast Cancer. The study may open new avenues for anti cancer drug research.

It also augments the already existing research on how the things that human beings ingest cause harmful effects; in this case how it can cause breast cancer or worsen the already existing condition. (more…)
