Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO), which has been opposed to all electronic cigarettes, has changed its rhetoric. It believes that various countries should regulate different types of electronic cigarettes, such as electronic cigarettes in open systems, but not in closed systems.

This statement of WHO reflects several phenomena:

1. The electronic cigarette is developing rapidly, and the technology is also constantly improving;

2. The harm of electronic cigarettes is much lower than traditional cigarettes. It has become the world consensus that electronic cigarettes can effectively help smokers reduce harm;

3. Closed system electronic cigarette management is helpful to create a better health environment.

So, what are the advantages of the closed system electronic cigarette compared with the open system electronic cigarette, which makes WHO open to it?

 

First of all, the raw materials of electronic smoke in the closed system are controllable.

The closed system e-cigarette is a professional term in the e-cigarette industry. In fact, it is a common pod changing e-cigarette in the market. The host machine can be recharged and recycled, and the cigarette cartridges can be used as consumables and discarded when used up.

Therefore, the user consumes the e-juice in the cigarette cartridge, and the  e-juice composition is also the core raw material of the electronic cigarette. vape pod kits electronic cigarette can be discarded when it is used up. It cannot be reused, cannot be self filled with oil, and can only use the original ejuice. Therefore, the raw materials are controlled by the manufacturer. The manufacturer must not neglect the safety for reasons of safety, market reputation, sales volume, etc.

Meanwhile,The open system electronic cigarette（RDA/RBA etc） allows users to mix and inject e-juice by themselves. This way is dangerous for users who do not understand. If harmful ingredients are inadvertently added, it may cause irreversible damage to health.

3 years ago, the “popcorn lung and electronic cigarette pneumonia” in the United States was caused by the indiscriminate addition of cannabis ingredients and vitamin E acetate, which led to users suffering from serious lung diseases (of course, it is not ruled out that some patients with COVID-19 at the initial stage were thought to be caused by electronic cigarettes.

Therefore, security can be greatly guaranteed after eliminating random addition.

Secondly, the electronic parameters for the closed system are controllable.

changable pod

In addition to the RAW e-juice materials, the parameters of the equipment are also very important. All equipment parameters, including voltage, current, resistance, power, etc., are preset for the closed system e-cig when it leaves the factory, which cannot be changed (or can only be adjusted in a small range under the premise of safety). On the one hand, it is for safety, which will not cause excessive harmful substances or explosions, and on the other hand, it is also for adapting to your own pod to produce the best performance.

For the open system E-cigarette the parameters are adjustable. For example, in order to generate large smoke volume, some users will adjust the power very high. The huge vapor clouds looks cool, but the high power may also generate high temperature, so that the smoke can release harmful substances such as formaldehyde and carbon monoxide that exceed the safety standards, causing damage to the body.

 

Finally, the closed system electronic cigarette is more friendly for ordinary users.

Because the parameters of the electronic cigarette equipment in the closed system are not adjustable and the e-juice is not adjustable, the use method is very simple. Most products do not need to be switched on or off. They can be used after being loaded with pods, and can be charged when there is no electricity. When smokers convert from traditional cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, the learning cost is very low.

 

The open system electronic cigarette can only be used after mastering certain knowledge, such as oil injection, switch, parameter adjustment, heating wire adjustment, daily maintenance, etc. In addition, due to the large number of spare parts, the capital invested in the early stage also greatly exceeds than the closed system electronic cigarette. However, after real mastery, the daily use cost is lower than the closed system electronic cigarette.

Therefore, for most ordinary users, the proposal of WHO to support the closed system electronic cigarette is reasonable. More importantly, it reflects the ability of WHO to understand new things. It is no longer a monolithic organization. I believe that the supporters of electronic cigarettes from all countries around the world are happy to see the changes of WHO.
