1. Vaping Is Healthy

There is growing opinion that electronic cigarettes are healthier than tobacco cigarettes, but they are not healthy. In fact, there have been no long-term scientific studies concerning their safety.

Any way you view the matter, you are inhaling a foreign substance into your lungs that was not meant to be there. This is not healthy.

2. You Can Use An Electronic Cigarette Anywhere

This is false. There are many places where they have been banned. One example is on airlines as reported in a recent Vapers Gazette article about a man who was arrested after vaping after he was told not to. The airlines are not the only place to ban electronic cigarettes. Do a quick search on the internet and you will find many others.

3. Puffs Per Cartridge

How many puffs you get per cartridge varies widely among users. There is really no way to determine the puffs per cartridge because there are so many individual factors involved. These include how long and hard you draw, the temperature at which the atomizer burns, the type of vape juice and numerous other factors. It's kind of like miles per gallon. How many of you have actually gotten the MPG stated by the manufacturer? It all depends on how you drive.

Always take the figures given by the company as being the best case scenario and remember that there are many individual influencing factors. Your mileage may vary!

4. Free Trials

Many, if not most, free trials are a rip off. For example, the Better Business Bureau reports that, "Consumers from 44 states have filed more than 360 complaints with the BBB against the Naples, Fla. and London, England based company Direct E-Cig in the last year."

If you see the words, "Free Trial," it may be better to avoid it.

5. Electronic Cigarettes Were Invented In China

Actually, the first e-cig was invented by a man named, Herbert A. Gilbert, from Pennsylvania. This was approximately 40 years before they first came from China. Mr. Gilbert filed for a patent on his device in 1963 and it was granted in 1965. If you want to see an image of the first electronic cigarette, just do a search for Herbert A. Gilbert.

While you are there, be sure to look around and you will see many e-cigarettes and associated items that were developed from 1963 to the present time. It is like looking at the history of the electronic cigarette and it all started with Herbert A. Gilbert.
