Smoking vs. Vaporizing, Why Vaporize?
Burning tobacco through the process of combustion is the oldest method known to man, however releasing the active ingredients of tobacco does not have to occur with combustion. Rather, vaporizing has the same effect as smoking, but does so without burning or combusting the plant material.
By-products resulting from combustion include tar, ash, CO2, carbon monoxide and other gases & carcinogenic elements, many of which are known to increase the likelihood of several cancers. In addition, because smoking is basically breathing in fire, your lungs and throat are subjected to high amounts of heat, which is damaging no matter what the substance is.
Combustion is also known to decrease and destroy a large percentage of the active ingredients contained in the plant material. Studies have shown that 25-50% of the active ingredients contained in the tobacco are destroyed by the act of combustion itself. So not only does smoking create many unhealthy and unwanted side effects, but a large percentage of the plant material's active ingredients are lost in the process.
In contrast, vaporizing warms the plant material to a temperature at which combustion cannot occur. The resulting effect occurs with the release of the active ingredient's in the form of a warm vapor. Since vaporizing does not use a flame or fire to ignite the plant material, none of the active ingredients are lost in the process. With every inhalation you're getting no smoke and more of the natural substance itself. Vapor contains little to no tar and is much cooler to inhale through ones' lungs, and pure vapor does not have any carcinogenic elements. Vapor is a healthier substitute to smoke!
The vapor itself, is slightly visible when exhaled and does not create a smell like smoking does. In fact, there is no odor at all contained in vapor! Also, because vapor contains no smoke, the natural tastes found in the tobacco are more noticeably present.
Vaporizing allows you to enjoy the same, if not greater stimulation than smoking creates, but without the unwanted side effects! |

The Science of Vaporization
From the microchip to polymer plastics to vaccinations to the World Wide Web technological advancements achieved in the last century touch nearly every aspect of our lives. Yet we've only begun to realize the potential of such astounding progress in science, industry and medicine.
Each advancement opens the door to new avenues of discovery, new possibilities for a higher quality of life. Undeniably, human beings in the 21st century enjoy more recreational and healthy living choices than ever before.
Despite this ground swell of advancement, however, certain critical areas remain virtually untouched. Our methods of recreational drug delivery, most especially smoking, are one such example. Burning tobacco is an incredibly hazardous way to obtain the benefits of nicotine. Yet, until very recently no progress has been made in an alternate delivery system.
Despite the past decade's considerable growth in the development of bio-engineered medications, our methods of delivering these or any substances to the body outside of a medically supervised environment remain limited and imprecise. For more on this, see the Addendum, but for now keep in mind that the hypodermic syringe predates the American Civil War and the first record of smoking is traced to the Mayans in 600 AD.
Whether homeopathic remedies or synthesized medications, our current drug delivery techniques are basic, archaic, and verging on obsolete. Your doctor may deliver remedies via pills, syringes, skin patches, or particle inhalers. You may ingest herbal substances by swallowing raw or extracted plant material or by drinking tea brewed from suitable leaves.
We can absorb certain effects through the skin by way of a poultice or salve, or we can inhale the desired essence through the smoke of the burning plant. Yet each of these methods has limitations and in some cases, outright dangers. It's been nearly four decades since technology has advanced enough to let us clearly see the hazards of taking a substance through the inhalation of its smoke; however, our advanced technologies have yet to be applied to an alternative method of Viably delivering these substances directly from the plants themselves.
This is the 21st century! We can manufacture a human heart, yet we're chained to the carcinogenic byproducts of combustion in order to receive the desired herbal benefits. Not any more. Inhalation (Phyto means "plant"). Vaporization is a substance delivery method purer than smoking, quicker and more direct than swallowing pills, and painless compared to needles. It is the new revolution in substance delivery and is poised to strengthen and enrich the medical, homeopathic, and smoking industries. |
