E-Lites Reviews & News

An article published by National Geographic has come out in support of electronic cigarettes, saying that as well as carrying fewer risks to smokers, e cigarettes are much less harmful to the environment.

The article ‘Cigarettes vs. E-cigarettes : Which is Less Harmful’ discusses how cigarette butts, which are still regularly discarded by smokers on pavements and out of car windows, cause not only an unsightly litter problem, but also form a toxic hazard to the environment.

Another year, another budget, another increase in the price of cigarettes. In the 2012 budget, announced by the Chancellor George Osborne last month, the price of a packet of cigarettes saw an increase of 37 pence – 5 per cent above the rate of inflation.

This latest increase in price confirms that the price of cigarettes shows no signs of slowing. Taking into account the recent budget announcement, the price of cigarettes has gone up by over 80 pence per packet in the past two years; taking the price of premium tobacco brands to around £7.30 per pack. The 37 pence increase alone will leave a 20-a-day smoker over £135 worse off. 

A new study has publicised that nicotine can considerably improve the attention and memory of suffers from mild cognitive impairment (commonly leading to Alzheimer’s). 

A controversial ban which prevents prison inmates from smoking was brought into force in prisons in New Zealand on 1^st July 2011. The ban saw all tobacco products, as well as lighters and cigarettes, become banned items. It is estimated that prior to the introduction of the ban, over 70% of the country’s prison population smoked – a figure well above the country’s national smoking average of only 20% of the population. 

The potential for E-Lites electronic cigarettes to dramatically reduce smoking-related illnesses was highlighted on BBC Radio 4’s You & Yours programme this week.

An estimated three million listeners heard E-Lites co-director Michael Ryan interviewed by presenter Winifred Robinson about the advantages of electronic cigarettes over traditional tobacco cigarettes.

The absence of tar, tobacco and other carcinogenic elements means that E-Lites offer a significantly healthier alternative to smokers, he said.

ITV’s Daybreak signalled a new dawn for smokers today as Dr Hillary Jones and fellow presenters discussed the benefits of stubbing out tobacco cigarettes in favour of healthier electronic cigarettes such as E-Lites.

A reformed smoker from North London set a new personal record last weekend when he ran in the Bristol Half Marathon and raised more than £500 for charity.

Keith Brown, 25, was only able to compete in the event after switching from traditional cigarettes to the healthier alternative of E-Lites electronic cigarettes, which are free of tobacco, tar and carbon monoxide.

Having smoked for 10 years, Keith says he feels fitter and stronger than ever and could not have contemplated such an athletic challenge before making the switch to E-Lites.
