It wasn’t so long ago that the cigarette companies have been paying the media very handsomely to keep drumming about how safe and how cool smoking was, but the modern science and the flow of information provided by the internet has gotten the point across to most of the people – smoking is a bad and unhealthy habit and people who smoke should spend some effort into quitting or at the very least spend effort into reducing the number of cigars they smoke. This has brought us a mini industry of it’s own, cigarette quitting industry that brought us nicotine patches, nicotine gum and things like that. It seems like it’s time for a new innovation to become popular, and this time it’s electronic cigarettes or E-cigarettes.
First of all, there should be a disclaimer on most of these products that help you quit smoking. These things may help you quit, but they will not quit your habit for you! No matter what kind of product you use, if you still have the habit of sneaking out to smoke one in peace or if you just don’t want to quit – they will not work! Discipline yourself before you turn to one of these solutions, and it would be best if you could quit cold turkey – these things are here to help out ones that just can’t do that.
Electronic cigarettes are pretty much like the real ones, with one small difference – there’s no tobacco in them and you don’t really smoke them. They are small tube like devices with nicotine spray inside of them that simulates the feeling of smoking with the push of a button. Nicotine cartridge is work something like 8 to 15 cigarettes, depending on the size, and contains just nicotine, none of the other substances you inhale while smoking a real cigar, reducing the risk of any tobacco related illness.
One of the best things about e-cigarettes is the fact that they are socially acceptable while being almost the real thing. There are no secondary vapours that will bother non-smokers near you, they do not stink like real cigarettes do and you can smoke them wherever you want – at the movies, in the park, in the restaurant – they will not bother anyone while you use them.
Another thing to consider is the money saving aspect of e-cigarettes. The initial cost may seem a bit steep, but since you’re just replacing cartridges and not buying the new thing every time it runs empty, this method of quitting smoking should pay itself off in the matter of weeks.
When you’re looking to buy an electronic cigarette, pay attention to the manufacture and assembly place, since there has been a real sea of cheap Chinese imitations that are not healthy at all.
