China's "smoke" is referring to nicotine, American style "recognized as"

The secret of mankind to stop smoking is to give cigarettes to find a comfortable and healthy alternatives.

Despite the "after a cigarette, and happy like a fairy" slang, who has already put tobacco dependence as a disease, it belongs to the category of neurological and psychiatric diseases.

National campaign to stop smoking, smoking cessation products bujuerulv variety is also turns into battle.

Recently, the functionality to quit smoking "like smoke is coming out" also contains nicotine, and content.

And ocean, American-style like smoke "Chantix" was the time magazine named the year of vital medicines. Two categories of quitting smoking materials are the differences? frequently debut of smoking cessation products really work?

Nicotine content than cigarettes pre-allocated

Like smoke, initially as a smoking cessation, tobacco products coming out, for its implication of is like cigarette products.

This is known as used alternative therapies, like smoke is able to simulate the smoking of real scenes and real feelings.

If the smoke itself is high tech.

This modern microelectronics technology of high-tech stop smoking products, flow sensors, simulation, simulation of smoke and flue gas temperature, smokers in the inhaled nicotine droplets, feel the same as the traditional cigarette smoking pleasure, from the biological point of view of humanity to simulate the process of smoking. Thus, the simulation of smoke do not contain carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocyanic acid, Acrolein, arsenic, lead, mercury and other hazardous substances, thereby achieving alternative cigarettes and quit smoking or eliminated"secondhand smoke" harm to the surrounding population.

However, recent media coverage, such as tobacco use bomb for the amount of nicotine-containing respectively 16 mg vial (high), 11 mg vial (middle), 6 mg vial (low), 0 mg vial (none).

While normal cigarettes only contain 1.2-1.8 mg vial of nicotine. In expert interpretation, nicotine is undoubtedly the harmful effects on human health. Nicotine 1.2-1.8 mg can kill mice, then the content of up to 16 mg of like smoke the destruction of pilots.

If tobacco manufacturers have their own logic.

In their interpretation, a bomb for the nicotine dose equivalent of a pack of cigarettes in the content. Like smoke can provide product security, and manufacturers have never denied that products containing nicotine. Now have questioned, as smoke that this is not the fault of nicotine, but over the years, the awareness of the existence of this composition of nicotine. And as for "zhongguojikongzhongxin" security testing report to be released at the end of December. But it has not been possible to prove that "like smoke" is harmless.
