The Doctors TV Show Names Electronic Cigarettes A Top 10 Health Trend

SAN DIEGO, CA – July 20th 2010

A recent episode of the popular series “THE DOCTORS TV SHOW” named the Top 10 Health Trends of 2009, including the revolutionary and still relatively unknown smoking alternative device – the Electronic Cigarette.  This is pretty big news and a positive sign for people who “Vape” all across the U.S., as mainstream exposure can only help further the success and acceptance of these products.

The doctors on the panel stated that for the millions of people addicted to smoking, there may be some hope in a safer alternative.  The Vapure brand Electronic Cigarette is a high-tech device that gives the sensation and impression of smoking, but does not emit the 4,000+ chemicals that combustion tobacco products produce.

The only chemical that enters the user’s system is nicotine, and the “smoke” produced that can be breathed in and out is actually water vapor.

“For some people, this may be a big help to get them to quit smoking,” Dr. Ordon says. “We don’t want to get people on nicotine; that’s not good, either [because it] constricts your blood vessels, but it’s a lot better than consuming all that tar and charcoal and carbon monoxide [that is in cigarettes].”

Ordon fails to mention however, that cartridges sold by companies such as Vapure are available without nicotine if that’s what the customer prefers.  And indeed, many users are also able to enjoy low-density nicotine cartridges with the eventual goal of cutting the habit altogether.

Moreover, the doctors on the show seem to believe that E-Cigs are only available in the UK and China, while in truth there are several U.S. based companies offering a variety of products.  Electronic Cigarettes are not and have never been illegal, so it is unclear why many people seem to think they can’t get them stateside – most likely a result of FDA and Big Tobacco propaganda.

On the topic of the FDA, it is also mentioned on the show that Electronic Cigarettes haven’t yet been approved.  While this is true, regular combustion cigarettes have never been and will never be FDA approved either, so it’s something of a moot point.  On top of that, all of the individual ingredients of E-Cigs are FDA approved, the agency just hasn’t put the time and money into clinically testing the kits as a whole.

There are other misstatements and misleading information the doctors state within the show – such as starter kits will cost you $150 – but all four the hosts did try E-cigs themselves and spoke with a smoker who gave a positive review of the product.

It would have been nice if The Doctors TV Show more faithfully did their homework before airing incorrect information, but the exposure was a good start and a small step in the right direction toward the mainstream embrace of Vapure’s smoking alternative.
