Electronic Cigarette - Smoke Without Fire

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

What is an electronic cigarette?

e juice - The ecigarette has been in existence for almost 3 years and is a clever device targeted at providing smokers with a healthier option. Apparently also necessary to help to reduce and indeed stop smoking altogether.

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

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

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

A nicotine cartridge typically lasts the same time frame as 15 to 20 cigarettes, thus creating a huge saving to normal costs. Standard, medium, low and no nicotine at all would be the various cartridge strengths.

e cig - A healthier option altogether it appears, though the benefits don't end there. Because of the electronic cigarette not emitting any dangerous substances, toxins or real smoke for that matter, they are perfectly legal to smoke in public places. In winter in particular, normal smokers have to brave the freezing cold as well as 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 e-cigarette is a healthier, cheaper and eco-friendly alternative to smoking and because the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully replace the harmful cigarettes we have all come to know and many of us have come to dread and fear.
