We have explained what electronic cigarettes are, and what people should use them and in what situations, let us now talk about how the cigarettes actually work, and at the end we will mention a couple of things about cigarette smoke that you should know.
Electronic cigarettes are comprised of three basic parts.

A standard electronic cigarette looks at first glance just like any normal cigarette. The cigarette is a metal tube with a chamber where you put liquid nicotine and it even has a part that resembles a real cigarette butt.
