<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">Earlier this month, the results of a <a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/1471-2458-10-231.pdf">survey</a> conducted by Jean Francois Etter of the Institute of Social and Preventative Medicine, University of Geneva, suggest that smokers may be using <a href="http://electroniccigarettereview.co.uk/greens" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://electroniccigarettereview.co.uk/greens';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">electronic cigarettes</a> to help them quit smoking.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">The survey was conducted over the internet in 2009, and involved 81 present and former e-cigarette users. Participants responded to a series of open-ended questions regarding their usage and attitudes towards e-cigarettes. The average participant had been using the e cigarette for three months.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Those surveyed cited several desirable effects of e-cigarettes. The most common response was that the device helps them to quit smoking. Other commonly cited benefits include: an overall improvement in their health and physical fitness as result of refraining from smoking tobacco, i.e. respondents coughed less, it improved breathing and respiration, and it did not cause unpleasant odors or bad breath.</p>

<p>Though the <span style="color: #000080;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.greensmoke.com/">electronic cigarette</a></span></span> or e-cigarette has been generating a lot of attention in the global market over the past 3 years, it actually got its start in 2003 when SBT Investment Holdings Ltd. a company based in Beijing, China patented an early version of the device. The e cigarette is basically a personal, battery-operated vaporizer that produces inhaled doses of nicotine via a vaporized solution of nicotine, water, and propylene glycol (the same substance use to make theatrical smoke).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://greensmoke.com/catalog/images/uploads/thumbs/thumb_battery2_new.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://greensmoke.com/catalog/images/uploads/thumbs/thumb_battery2_new.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="134" /></a></p>
<p class="wp-caption-dd" style="text-align: center;">E-Cigarettes from Green Smoke</p>
<p>In 2004 the company, now controlled by Golden Dragon Group, Ltd., was active in developing the Chinese market in under the brand name of Ruyan which literally means “almost like smoke.”</p>
<p>In 2006, the <a href="http://electroniccigarettereview.co.uk/greens" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://electroniccigarettereview.co.uk/greens';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">electronic cigarette</a> was officially brought to Europe at the RUYAN Overseas Promotion Conference held in Austria. Greg Carson, a UK businessman, discovered the product and adapted it for the European market under the name “Electro Fag.” The device has since gained in popularity throughout Europe, North America, and China.</p>
<p>At its inception, the e-cigarette was meant to be used by smokers when they found themselves in nonsmoking areas, but it has since become a dedicated smoking alternative for numerous users who wish to avoid the of the harmful affects of smoking.</p>
<p>According to Matt Salmon, president of the <a href="http://electroniccigarettereview.co.uk/greens" style=""  rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://electroniccigarettereview.co.uk/greens';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Electronic Cigarette</a> Association, the total number of e-cigarette users was estimated to be 300,000 in October 2009, based on the results of a survey. Though, he added, the actual number may be higher.</p>

<p>According to a <a href="http://www.news-medical.net/news/20100402/Tel-Aviv-University-researcher-finds-link-between-cigarette-smoking-and-IQ.aspx">study</a> recently conducted by Dr. Mark Weiser of Tel Aviv University’s Department of Psychiatry and the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Hospital, young men who smoke are likely to have lower IQ scores than their non-smoking peers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3219302733_322c8123f1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Online IQ Test" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3411/3219302733_322c8123f1.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="182" /></a></p>
<p>In the study, considered the largest ever of its kind, researchers culled data from more than 20,000 18- to 21-year-old men enlisted in the Israeli army. They discovered that the average IQ for a non-smoker was 101, while smokers averaged around 94. The IQs of heavy smokers- i.e. those who smoked more than a pack a day- averaged even lower at 90.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Weiser, the link between IQ and smoking may be an indication of the ability of those with a lower IQ to make healthy life choices. “People on the lower end of the average IQ tend to display poorer overall decision-making skills when it comes to their health,” he states. This idea is further supported by another recent <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/10/low-i-q-predicts-heart-disease/">study</a> conducted in Scotland that investigated the link between IQ, heart disease and traditional heart risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure and smoking.</p>
<p>Smoking may not actually lower one’s God-given intelligence, as some popular media sites were quick to claim (consider that many famous “geniuses” were known to smoke: Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Edwin Hubble, George Orwell). But it may well be an indication of one’s ability to make responsible, healthy decisions in life.</p>
