Ruyan is an electronic cigarette designed to assist smokers who enjoy smoking but realise the potential dangers and anti-social aspects of second-hand smoke. As a form of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), it contains nicotine so satisfies cravings but omits the hundreds of other harmful substances. Ruyan offers a programme for smokers who wish to use the product to quit smoking completely. It can be recharged, just like a mobile phone or digital camera battery, thereby saving the smoker ongoing costs of buying cigarettes.
Modern scientific research demonstrates that cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemical substances, hundreds of which are harmful to human body, with 25 diseases directly related to smoking, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and nitrosamine in cigarette smoke that are considered the most dangerous cancerogenous substances. Ruyan has been developed to allow people to "smoke" but without inhaling cigarette smoke. Ruyan has obtained several patents in China and in many other developed countries.
Using Nicotine Replacement Therapy(NRT), it releases nicotine in no-tobacco form into the human body. The dose of nicotine is less than that obtained from smoking but enough for anyone who wishes to reduce nicotine levels and quit smoking. After using 2-3 months, the amount of nicotine will be gradually decreased to the lowest.
“RUYAN”, developed by Beijing SBT RUYAN Technology Development Company Limited, adopts advanced microelectronic technology and supercritical physical atomized technology to atomize the high-purity nicotine diluent which is extracted from tobacco so that the smoker can take it in. The liquid in the cartridge contains nicotine, perfumery compound special for tobacco and ordinary food humectant.
With slow absorption and a small dose, nicotine used in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy is safer than smoking itself, but enough for resisting smoke addiction. Moreover, nicotine cannot trigger cancer or chronic obstructive lung diseases which are mainly caused by tar, carbon monoxide and thousands of harmful substances released during the burning of tobacco.
“RUYAN” is a kind of non-inflammable electronic cigarette. It can refresh the smokers and satisfy their smoking addiction, making them happy and relaxed, so relieving the suffering of quitting smoking.
“RUYAN” is essentially different from the common cigarette by nature:
1. Free of tar and other carcinogenic substances harmful to human body;
2. Non-inflammable, without the danger of over 4,000 chemical substances produced by the common cigarette, like carbon monoxide;
3. Harmless to others and the environment avoiding danger of “second-hand smoking”;
4. Can be used in most No-smoking places, without the hidden danger of fire accident;
5. Painless smoke abstention can be realized within a certain period of time, after carrying out the smoke abstention scheme recommended by “RUYAN”.

Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Second-hand smoke contains…
Side stream smoke - smoke from the tip of the cigarette.
Mainstream smoke - smoke that is breathed back out by the smoker.
Second-hand smoke hangs around for ages and most of it is invisible and odourless. Even if you open up the windows it will still be in a room after two and a half hours! Even if you can't see or smell any smoke, it's probably still there. Smoking in a car is even worse because all of the smoke is concentrated into a small space.
Non-smokers who breathe in second-hand smoke are at risk of the same diseases as smokers, including cancer and heart disease!
Secondhand smoke contains 4,000 toxic chemicals and it is estimated that it causes thousands of deaths each year. Children are particularly affected by secondhand smoke because their bodies are still developing. But around half of all British children are growing up in homes where at least one parent is a smoker.
Find out more about how secondhand smoke affects others.
From 1st of July 2007, virtually all enclosed public places and workplaces in England are smokefree. This means that it is against the law to smoke in the indoor parts of places such as pubs, bars, nightclubs, cafes and restaurants, lunch rooms, membership clubs and shopping centres. At work, smoking inside is a thing of the past, and indoor smoking rooms are no longer allowed. Public transport and work vehicles used by more than one person are also smokefree.

Second-hand Smoke
The same person wrote further on the forum:
"I have actually developed a real sensitivity to tobacco smoke, probably inherited from my mother,who is severely allergic. Even smelling it on somebody's breath sometimes induces coughing.
While I recognize people's right to put anything they want into their bodies, I am grateful that I live in California, where smoking in public places is uncommon and there is very progressive anti-smoking legislation.
Tobacco, no matter what its medicinal properties, is poisonous in the form of second-hand smoke.
Second-hand Tobacco smoke ruins other people's meals, gives children lung cancer, hurts people with sensitive lungs and undermines the health of people who suffer from immune-system wrecking conditions like AIDS.
Please poison yourself in your own good company."
