Around this time last year, I did a special feature on E-Cigarettes for The Connacht Tribune, which can be found here. The research I did was extremely interesting.
I’m not a smoker and I don’t condone smoking for obvious reasons (I blog about health, after all). I’d also like to point out that I don’t condone e-cigarettes to non-smokers, but think they could be extremely helpful to smokers who are trying to quit.
Smoking affects us all, whether we ourselves smoke, live with a smoker, socialise with smokers – even if we’re walking down the street beside a smoker and end up breathing in smoke, it’s something we’re all connected to in some way or another.
So when Steve Barrett, MD of Purple Box Vapors in Dublin got in touch with this infographic, I thought this is a serious health issue, and many of my readers – smokers and non-smokers alike would find it educational.
The infographic includes a snapshot of both industries from creation to present day and contains a few really interesting facts. For example, the e-cigarette industry is a three billion dollar global business. And Bloomberg predicts that by 2047, e-cigarettes could outsell cigarettes.
Have a look for yourself and see what you think.
Thanks to Steve at Purple Box Vapors for sharing this.
I’d love to know what you think of e-cigarettes. Have you used them? Have they helped you to quite smoking? Let me know in the comments section below.
Beautiful Health 
I smoked years ago – I loved smoking! So glad I quit. Think the only thing that works is cold turkey. I avoided pubs for months (it was pre-smoking ban) and so glad I did.
I think if you enjoy smoking and want to give up you need to persevere and go through every life event WITHOUT a cigarette… First party, first holiday etc!
So glad I did it

This is really interesting! I’m a smoker years now but have given up with the help on e-cigs. I did end up back on them during a stressful time (had five my e-cig to someone) but funnily enough just today I bought an e-cig to try get off them again! Agree they are much healthier than real cigarettes and can help you quit smoking.
Had a big comment written out but i turnet cut out gah! Anyway was sayin ive used them in the past to give up smoking but ended up back on them and just today I bought a new e-comig as I gave my other one away to a friend. So hoping they will help me again to give up the real ones which are so so unhealthy!
