My name is Ryeon...another member of Greentip A.K.A Gr33n
Recently, electronic cigarettes have been getting a lot of heat in newspapers, online, and general word of mouth. There are die hard fans of it but also die hard opponents. There will be haters but we will push through. We think this is a revolutionary product and that it will be beneficial to society in the long run.
Here are my thoughts. Cigarettes have already killed many many people. Critics say introducing this new product can kill even more! What I don't get is cigarettes have a proven track record of causing death. We know there are 4000 chemicals in them...63 of them being carcinogens. For electronic cigarettes, there are 10, all approved by FDA, none of them cancer causing. I just dont get it...it is probably politics, procedure, and the process of everything that is delaying the approval for e-cigs. We would gladly put our product up for testing by the FDA but we also do not have millions of dollars. =)
Until then, we choose to smoke an alternative cigarette with no tar and no carcinogens. We want society to use a green product so that "green ideology" can spread. People have questioned how Greentip is as an "eco-friendly" product and at first glance it seems like a good marketing scheme...but its not. Using something simple as a Greentip can cause others to follow suit in a "Green" lifestyle. There is one less person throwing away toxic cigarette butts, One less person breathing in toxic chemicals, one less person not utilizing precious land and earth for the cultivation of tobacco. Like a person driving a Hybrid vehicle, someone is taking a stand and setting an example.
Crazy thing I found:
“We have every reason to believe the hazard posed by electronic cigarettes would be much lower than 1% of that posed by (tobacco) cigarettes,” says Dr. Nitzkin in this online interview. “The testing guidelines in the current tobacco act (circulating through Congress) would represent a ban on electronic cigarettes, (yet) if we get all tobacco smokers to switch from regular cigarettes (to electronic cigarettes), we would reduce the US death toll from 400,000 a year to less than 4,000, maybe as low as 400.”
Thats it for now, PEACE.

Truth.
Great blog. Electronic cigarette offers a healthy and safe cigarette smoking habit to all cigarette lovers. It would be best if e-cig will be approved.
"...switch from regular cigarettes (to electronic cigarettes), we would reduce the US death toll from 400,000 a year to less than 4,000, maybe as low as 400..."
If you think about the loss of money for the cigarettes industrie, I think you know why there is a problem with the aproval!
