On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines (Part 53):
A NewTech 6-Channel Digital ECG 6100 Product Review

As for the fifty-third part of this new article series entitled On Smoking, Heart Disease and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing here all about the risks and dangers of smoking and how it affects our heart.

Myth: Nicotine products are just as unhealthful as smoking.

Nicotine is safe when used as directed. Even using nicotine every day for years would be safer than smoking, Fiore says. After all, nicotine products deliver only nicotine. Cigarettes deliver nicotine along with 4,000 other compounds, including more than 60 known carcinogens, according to the American Lung Association. Nicotine replacement therapy versus smoking? "It's a no-brainer," Fiore says.

Myth: Cutting back on smoking is good enough.

"Cutting down on the number of cigarettes is not an effective strategy," Malarcher says. "Smokers who cut back draw more deeply and smoke more of each cigarette." So even though they smoke fewer cigarettes, they get the same dose of toxic smoke. "The data suggest that the only [smoking cessation strategy] that works consistently is getting to the point of not even a single puff," Fiore says.
