Electronic Cigarette - Smoke Without Fire

Mod Box - Asked recently to write about electronic cigarettes, I need 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 Search revealed there is no smoke without fire as almost 6 000 0000 results just for the saying "electronic cigarette" were returned.

What exactly is an electronic cigarette?

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

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

A battery, an atomiser along with a renewable nicotine chamber enables the smoker to hold and smoke the e-cigarette just as they would every other cigarette, even creating a "smoke" like vapour and glow at the end as they draw. The nicotine chamber proves very useful as cartridges are available 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 the same time frame as 15 to 20 cigarettes, thus developing a huge saving to normalcy costs. Standard, medium, low no nicotine at all are the various cartridge strengths.

Mod Box - 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 instance, they are perfectly legal to smoke in public areas. In winter in particular, normal people who smoke have to brave the freezing cold and also 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 also 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 environmentally friendly alternative to smoking and because the awareness and the market grows they've got great potential to successfully switch the harmful cigarettes just about everyone has come to know and many of us have come to dread and fear.
