Electronic Cigarette - Smoke Without Fire

Mod Box - Asked recently to write about electronic cigarettes, I have to confess that I had never heard of such a thing. Some internet research later and I discovered that electronic cigarettes are very much a quickly growing concern. A Search revealed there is no smoke without fire as almost 6 million results just for the saying "electronic cigarette" were returned.

What is an electronic cigarette?

e liquid - The e-cigarette has been in existence for almost 36 months and is a clever device aimed at providing smokers with a healthier option. Apparently also useful in helping to reduce and indeed stop smoking altogether.

Now in a fourth generation, electric cigarettes have become much more easy to use than earlier versions which perhaps were a tad too large to encourage a mass market appeal. The "mini" is easily the most realistic e cigarette thus far 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 present in normal cigarettes allowing smokers cravings to be satisfied without inhaling the numerous dangerous toxins. Could it be all smoke and mirrors? Or can this item sometimes 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 e-cigarette just as they would every other cigarette, even creating a "smoke" like vapour and glow by the end as they draw. The nicotine chamber proves very helpful as cartridges can be purchased in different strengths, permitting an individual to reduce the amount of nicotine they intake until if they wish, can quit completely.

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

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

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

Upon reflection the e-cigarette is a healthier, cheaper and green alternative to smoking and as the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully switch the harmful cigarettes most of us have come to know and lots of of us have come to dread and fear.
