Smoggy Weather Arrives: E-Cigarettes Raise Health Awareness

China E-Cigarette News: In recent years, China's State Council has successively issued a number of notices on smoking bans in public places. Just recently, the central government again released the "Notice on Matters Concerning Leading Cadres Taking the Lead in Refraining from Smoking in Public Places." This "smoking ban order" clearly stipulates that smoking is prohibited in public places such as schools and public transportation, and that people should discourage and stop others from smoking in public places. This shows just how harmful "smoking" can be. As the government has vigorously promoted matters related to the "smoking ban order," some government officials and National People's Congress deputies have also voiced strong support for the national smoking ban. Among them is Zhang Dayong, a deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Institute of Ecology at the College of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal University, who stated at the full meeting of the Beijing delegation to the Second Session of the 12th National People's Congress that "the harm smoking does to human health is far greater than air pollution." According to Zhang Dayong, amid the current situation of smog affecting China's environment, we should pay even more attention to environmental awareness and adopt comprehensive measures from multiple angles. "But it is worth emphasizing that PM2.5 is far less harmful to human health than smoking!" His remarks truly surprised many people. The harms of smoking   shown through data According to research data presented by NPC deputy Zhang Dayong, Beijing's average daily PM2.5 concentration in 2013 was about 89.5 micrograms. Based on an adult inhaling 18 cubic meters of air per day, that amounts to a total daily PM2.5 intake of 1.6 milligrams per person. Calculated over 365 days, that comes to 584 milligrams a year, still less than 600 milligrams in total. However, each cigarette smoked is equivalent to inhaling 12 milligrams of PM2.5 into the body, which is roughly equivalent to 50 cigarettes. For smokers, inhaling the equivalent of 50 cigarettes may take less than three months. In addition, survey data show that China already has more than 300 million smokers, accounting for about one quarter of the world's total smoking population. Among them, as many as 5 million are underage smokers. The number of cancer cases caused by smoking is also increasing year by year. According to incomplete statistics, about 1 million people in China die each year from smoking-related cancer. "E-cigarettes" quietly emerge to support health As health awareness continues to rise among the public, a product known as the "e-cigarette" has quietly begun spreading across the country. This technology-driven "healthier smoking" method has attracted the attention of many smokers. Industry insiders say that in many overseas markets, "e-cigarettes" have already become very popular and are developing rapidly. In China, a series of smoking-ban notices issued by the government in recent years has helped this international trend "blow" into the domestic market. As a pioneer in China's e-cigarette industry, "Olant" was quick to seize the opportunity, opening a new chapter for China's "e-cigarette" sector. It is understood that Olant, known as the "No. 1 healthy e-cigarette," has long been committed to the research and development of vaping devices. Upholding the concepts of environmental protection and low carbon, it has catered to the needs of smokers while breaking free from the constraints of traditional tobacco, becoming a leading e-cigarette brand known nationwide. Experts have also stated that the advent of "e-cigarettes" may help people across the country better comply with the relevant provisions of the "smoking ban order," while also improving today's air environment and the cancer-related problems associated with "smoking."
