Smoking vs. Vaporizing - Why Vaporize?
Burning tobacco through the process of combustion is the oldest method known to man, however releasing the active ingredients of tobacco does not have to occur with combustion. Rather, vaporizing has the same effect as smoking, but does so without burning or combusting the plant material.
By-products resulting from combustion include tar, ash, CO2, carbon monoxide and other gases & carcinogenic elements, many of which are known to increase the likelihood of several cancers. In addition, because smoking is basically breathing in fire, your lungs and throat are subjected to high amounts of heat, which is damaging no matter what the substance is.
Combustion is also known to decrease and destroy a large percentage of the active ingredients contained in the plant material. Studies have shown that 25-50% of the active ingredients contained in the tobacco are destroyed by the act of combustion itself. So not only does smoking create many unhealthy and unwanted side effects, but a large percentage of the plant material's active ingredients are lost in the process.
In contrast, vaporizing warms the plant material to a temperature at which combustion cannot occur. The resulting effect occurs with the release of the active ingredient's in the form of a warm vapor. Since vaporizing does not use a flame or fire to ignite the plant material, none of the active ingredients are lost in the process. With every inhalation you're getting no smoke and more of the natural substance itself. Vapor contains little to no tar and is much cooler to inhale through ones' lungs, and pure vapor does not have any carcinogenic elements. Vapor is a healthier substitute to smoke!
The vapor itself, is slightly visible when exhaled and does not create a smell like smoking does. In fact, there is no odor at all contained in vapor! Also, because vapor contains no smoke, the natural tastes found in the tobacco are more noticeably present.
Vaporizing allows you to enjoy the same, if not greater stimulation than smoking creates, but without the unwanted side effects!
