What can you get from smoking electronic cigarettes instead of the traditional ones? I’m sure that a lot of you have been wondering that, especially if you ever considered quitting smoking, or just saw a commercial for e-cigarettes on TV. Well, there are a lot of benefits an electronic cigarette provides, so here are the greatest ones.
First of all, electronic cigarettes are much less toxic than an average cigarette. While you can still enjoy the aroma of a good cigarette, the smell and taste, you don’t have to worry about subjecting your lungs to the poisonous and carcinous dangers that a cigarette smoke brings. An average cigarette has over 4000 different chemicals. Of that number, 43 can cause some sort of cancer (90% of lung cancer deaths can be blamed on cigarettes) and has another 400 different toxins. Some of those toxins are nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, arsenic, formaldehyde, DDT, ammonia and so on. An electronic cigarette does not contain any of these toxins, there’s just the good aroma of a fine tobacco. Read more...
I’ve been trying to quit smoking for the past two years now, after lighting three packs per day in average at some point. Unfortunately, I never quite got further than quitting for a few days here and there, but as soon I get nervous about something at work (which can be really stressful at times), I go down to the nearest place where I could get some, and it all goes to hell.

This was about three months ago. Since I ran out of options, I decided to try them as well. My first impression when I tried an e-cig was: “Hey, this is like a regular cigarette!”. You know how those nicotine patches never give you the satisfaction that a good cigarette can? Well, that’s not the case with electronic cigarettes. You can smoke them and they feel just like a normal cigarette when it comes to taste and smell. Read more...
If you are a smoker, I’m sure that you have tried countless methods for quitting smoking. Did you ever tried electronic cigarettes? You probably heard a lot of them on TV or read in the newspaper. You’ve probably saw some health expert advertising a particular brand and claiming how this is an excellent way to quit smoking. Well, let me tell you that it isn’t. And here is why.
What are electronic cigarettes? I mean, how are they sold? Like a quit smoking device or as something else? Sorry to disappoint you, but electronic cigarettes are essentially nothing more than a nicotine replacers. Just like nicotine patches and nicotine gums. While the feel might be better when smoking an electronic cigarette, certainly closer to a real cigarette, they are still not a quit smoking device. Read more...
