Electronic Cigarette - Smoke Without Fire

e cig - Asked recently to publish about electronic cigarettes, I have to confess that I hadn't heard of such a thing. Some investigation later and I learned that electronic cigarettes are very much a quickly growing concern. A Google search revealed there is no smoke without fire as almost 6 million results just for the saying "electronic cigarette" were returned.

What's an electronic cigarette?

e cig - The electronic cigarette has been in existence for almost 36 months and is a clever device aimed at providing smokers using a healthier option. Apparently also essential in helping to reduce and indeed quit smoking altogether.

Now in the fourth generation, electronic cigarettes have become much more user friendly than earlier versions which perhaps were a touch too large to encourage a mass market appeal. The "mini" is the most realistic e cigarette up to now with its length of 100mm being the same as a conventional cigarette.

An e-cigarette contains a taste of tobacco but none of the harmful substances found in normal cigarettes allowing smokers cravings being satisfied without inhaling the numerous dangerous toxins. Can it be all smoke and mirrors? Or can this item really be the saviour it really wants to be?

A battery, an atomiser and a renewable nicotine chamber permits the smoker to hold and smoke the electronic cigarette just as they would every other cigarette, even making a "smoke" like vapour and glow at the conclusion as they draw. The nicotine chamber proves very helpful as cartridges can be purchased in different strengths, permitting the consumer to reduce the amount of nicotine they intake until if they wish, can quit completely.

A nicotine cartridge typically lasts once as 15 to 20 cigarettes, thus developing a huge saving on track costs. Standard, medium, low with no nicotine at all are the various cartridge strengths.

e liquid - A wholesome option altogether it seems like, though the benefits don't end there. Due to the electronic cigarette not emitting any dangerous substances, toxins or real smoke for example, they are perfectly legal to smoke in public places. In winter in particular, normal cigarette smokers have to brave the freezing cold and the rain just for a quick smoking break however this alternative will allow these to stay in their offices, restaurants and pubs.

None smokers will benefit, as their worries about passive smoking are rendered null and void through the electronic cigarette. A much more sociable environment then!

Upon reflection the ecigarette is a healthier, cheaper and green alternative to smoking and because the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully switch the harmful cigarettes just about everyone has come to know and several of us have come to dread and fear.
