What is the electronic cigarette
As soon as the electronic cigarette appeared on the market, its success was meteoric. It was very clear to everyone, from the beginning, that e-cigs could make a decisive contribution to the fight against cigarette smoking . The principle was developed in China, and this type of device had its first significant diffusion in the West in 2006. According to the annual report on smoking by the Higher Institute of Health, today around two million Italians use it occasionally or regular e-cigarettes.
Quitting smoking is an essential choice to protect your health: in fact, more than 4,000 harmful substances can be found in the smoke released by burning tobacco, capable of causing even permanent damage to the human body. The very idea of vaping, that is, smoking using an electronic cigarette, is revolutionary. You take a non-toxic liquid based on vegetable glycerin , heat it until it evaporates and breathe in the vapour . This action can have miraculous effects on nicotine addiction: you do not inhale toxic substances because there is no combustion, but you really have the sensation of smoking, without any serious consequences on your health.
It is important to choose e-cigarette liquid carefully. If you want to stop smoking, for example, you will need to choose e-liquids that have a percentage of nicotine that is not excessive, but high enough to satisfy the smoker's desire. The nicotine level must be gradually reduced to gradually eliminate the desire to smoke.
Electronic cigarettes to stop smoking cigarettes
In Italy, four out of ten smokers have switched to electronic cigarettes to quit smoking. Like their traditional counterparts, e-cigarettes can contain a variable amount of nicotine , which is vaporized in a mixture typically composed of water, propylene glycol, glycerol and other substances. Each device contains an electronic vaporization system ( atomizer ), rechargeable batteries, electronic controls and cartridges containing the liquid that is vaporized. E-cigarette manufacturers report that cartridges typically contain between 6 and 24 mg of nicotine , or may be free and release only flavored vapor.
Using nicotine e-cigarette liquids can be useful for quitting smoking, gradually reducing the percentage of nicotine required by the body, but the chances of saying goodbye to cigarettes forever increase exponentially if you choose liquids with CBD extracts .
CBD, like cannabis in general, has the power to reduce the desire to smoke.
CBD helps against nicotine addiction
This is a rather recent discovery: in 2013 the magazine Addict Behav published a preliminary study conducted by a group of English researchers, which investigated the potential action of CBD on smokers wishing to say goodbye to cigarettes . It was a small research, but - despite the small scope of the study - it suggested that the path was the right one. In fact, the subjects analyzed declared that they had reduced their tobacco consumption by 40%. The news could not be ignored and cannabidiol has experienced a season of great attention: it has been much studied and the new information has made it famous.
A comprehensive study inspired by insights from 2013 was carried out in 2018. Researchers at University College London wanted to understand what happens when smokers trying to quit take CBD. Thanks to an innovative approach, they discovered that this substance limits the neurocognitive processes that ignite tobacco cravings in smokers' brains.
CBD can truly become a precious ally in the fight against addictions because - in addition to the stimulus blocking effect - it acts as a mood regulator. Thanks to CBD, in fact, the onset of anxiety and depression related to the mental and physical stress of having to stop smoking can be limited. Cannabidiol is considered effective as an anxiolytic and antidepressant , thanks to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system of the human body.
Its action is based on the stresses it produces on this network of receptors capable of influencing mood, the perception of pain and muscle tension, through the regulation of the production of serotonin , famous for being the happiness hormone.
What are e-liquids?
E-liquids, also called e-juice, are the fluids used in vaporizers and electronic cigarettes to create vapor which must then be inhaled. E-cigarette liquids can contain nicotine in variable percentages, or may not contain any at all.
E-liquids are a mixture of water, totally safe and often quite tasty food flavourings , propylene glycol (PG) or vegetable glycerin (VG), and possibly nicotine.
Propylene glycol is a substance that is used in many flavors to convey flavor evenly throughout the fluid; it is used - for example - in vanilla extract, food colorings and various types of medicines. Vegetable glycerin is a thick, sweet liquid. Enthusiasts are divided between supporters of e-juices with propylene glycol and those based on vegetable glycerin. Let's see together what the pros and cons of the two basic fluids of e-cig liquids are.
- The liquid based on propylene glycol is usually more fluid than that based on vegetable glycerin and this greatly facilitates the absorption of the liquid towards the atomizer. Furthermore, the more liquid consistency will make it less sticky, resulting in rather clean atomizers even after several uses. Both PG and VG are tasteless, but this does not mean that they do not influence the general perception of the liquid in the mouth: PG generates a more powerful throat hit, similar to that given by a cigarette.
- Vegetable glycerin-based e-juices, on the other hand, tend to be more viscous and, consequently, produce more residue and build-up on the vaporizer, also reducing its lifespan over time. Vegetable glycerin gives a very sweet flavor to the liquid, which will be denser and more long-lasting, thanks to its viscous consistency. In contrast to PG-based liquids, VG-based liquids are characterized by minimal throat hit and a somewhat higher risk of allergies. Obviously if you want to excel in dense and long-lasting clouds you have to choose vegetable glycerin, while if you are looking for a sensation similar to a real cigarette you will have to opt for propylene glycol.
There are also hybrid liquids, which contain PG and VG in varying proportions.
Our e-liquids 100% made in Italy
Did you think we were left behind? Terre di cannabis sells the best CBD-based e-liquids without the use of chemical additives. Below we tell you about the Ambrosia line, the ideal solution for those who want to combine the pleasure of vaping with the thousand benefits of CBD.
Ambrosia CBD e-liquids contain 70% propylene glycol and 30% vegetable glycerin.
It is possible to mix Ambrosia CBD with other e-liquids, preferring those with a prevalence of PG, because in the presence of too much vegetable glycerin the two compounds could separate. Free your imagination and add Ambrosia to your favorite e-liquids, the important thing is to dose it carefully and not exceed 200 mg of CBD per day.

Then there is Ambrosia tobacco aroma , the choice of those who don't want to give up the "warm" flavor of tobacco, with zero nicotine and 200 mg of CBD.
E-liquids: are they safe?
Late last year you probably heard about the epidemic of e-cigarette deaths in the USA. In just a few days, 18 people died from illnesses linked to a lung infection. The American health authorities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have indicated that there are a total of 1,080 people affected by lung inflammation from electronic cigarettes, with an increase of approximately 275 per week.
The causes of vaping deaths are unclear, but it is generally believed that they are caused by poor use of the device.
According to the CDC, the lung problems may have been caused by an as yet unidentified chemical compound present in the liquid . In this matter there has been a lot of talk about THC oil, because it seems it was precisely this product - added to e-liquid - that caused electronic cigarettes to go haywire. Nothing to do with certified CBD liquids, produced following all EU guidelines.
