There is a lot of anti-vaping propaganda that is being spread around by different special interest groups. We are sad to say that most of these rumors?are untrue and are usually spread by people who aren’t properly educated on what vaping really is. Below, we disprove?3 lies that you probably have heard about vaping.

由于涉及到不同的利益主体，总有一些反对电子烟的言论在扩散。而令我们难过的是，这些关于电子烟的传言大部分都是不正确的，而且常常是由那些根本不真正了解电子烟是什么的人发出的。下面，我们列举了3个你可能也听说过的传言。

Vaping Is Just as Bad as Smoking

谎言之一：抽电子烟和抽传统香烟给人体带来的危害一样大

There is a big difference between inhaling?water vapor?versus inhaling carcinogenic?smoke directly into your lungs. People buy into this myth?simply because the PUFF of vapor that an e-cig creates looks similar to the cloud of smoke a cigarette makes. Although vaping is designed to simulate the look and feel of smoking a cigarette, this is where the similarities end.

其实，抽电子烟和直接抽含有多种致癌物质的香烟对人身体的影响是有很大不同的。但人们之所以相信这种说法，大概是因为抽电子烟产生的烟雾和抽香烟很相似，也可能是因为电子烟的外观设计给人的感觉和传统香烟很相像。

There are no added carcinogens or chemicals in liquid vapor aside from the added?nicotine, vegetable glycerol, and propylene glycol, all of which have been deemed safe for consumption under the FDA.?The flavorings used are food grade additives that are designed for consumption. These flavorings are digestible and are added in very small concentrations.

电子烟油中除了含有尼古丁、蔬菜甘油、丙二醇这些被FDA认定为安全的物质外，没有任何其它的致癌物质和化学成分。

Cigarettes, on the other hand, have 1,000’s of chemicals and carcinogens in them. They all enter your body when inhaled and many of them are highly toxic. These are the chemicals that cause cancer, high blood pressure and a variety of other health problems. Liquid vapor does not contain any of these harmful substances.

然而，传统香烟里却含有1000多种化学成分和致癌物质，它们中的大多数是有很大毒性的。这些化学物质可以引起癌症、高血压和其它各种各样的健康问题，而电子烟油中却不含这些有害物质。

The sad truth is many public health organizations?are not doing enough to dispel this myth. Filmmaker Aaron Biebert?has?recently spoken out about this problem?in an interview, explaining that the proMOTIon of this kind of misinforMATion is contributing to millions of lives that have been lost due to cigarettes.

令人悲伤的事实是，很多公共卫生组织却没有做出足够有力的行动去驱散这些传言。电影制作人Aaron Biebert近期在采访中指出了这一问题，并说道这种错误信息的扩散是以数百万沉迷于传统香烟的人的生命为代价的。

Vaping Can’t Replace the Real Thing

谎言之二：电子烟不能取代真实的香烟

An inexperienced vapor may not be aware of the number of options you can use to tweak and customize the taste, look and feel of your e-cig.
