There is a brand new invention that everyone who smokes should know about. It's called the electronic cigarette, also known as a smokeless cigarette or e-cigarette, and it is changing the legal landscape for cigarette smokers around the world.
The patented Electronic Cigarette offers to effectively simulate the
experience of smoking an actual cigarette, without any of the health or
legal issues surrounding traditional cigarettes.
While Electronic cigarettes look, feel and taste much like traditional
cigarettes, they function very differently. You see, electronic
cigarettes do not actually burn any tobacco, but rather, when you inhale
from an e-cigarette, you activate a "flow censor" which releases a
water vapor containing nicotine, propylene glycol, and a scent that
simulates the flavor of tobacco. All of which simply means that
electronic cigarettes allow you to get your nicotine fix while avoiding
all of the cancer causing agents found in traditional cigarettes such as
tar, glue, hundreds of additives, and hydrocarbons.
In addition to being healthier than traditional cigarettes, and perhaps
most importantly of all, is the fact that electronic cigarettes are
completely legal. Because Electronic cigarettes do not involve tobacco,
you can legally smoke them anywhere that traditional cigarettes are
prohibited such as bars, restaurants, the work place, even on airplanes.
Furthermore, electronic cigarettes allow you to smoke with no fears of
inflicting harm on others due to nasty second hand smoke.
The refillable cartridges come in a multitude of flavors as well as
nicotine strengths. You can get regular, menthol, even apple and
strawberry flavored cartridges and nicotine strengths come in full,
medium, light, and none. While electronic cigarettes are technically a
"smoking alternative" rather than a smoking cessation device, the range
of nicotine strengths offers some obvious potential as an aid in the
ones attempts to quit smoking and seems to be proving popular within
that market.
The nice thing about electronic cigarettes as apposed to say, nicotine
patches, is that e-cigarettes produce the same tactile sensation and
oral fixation that smokers desire, while satisfying ones tobacco
cravings as well. When you take a drag from n electronic cigarette you
actually feel the your lungs fill with a warm tobacco flavored smoke and
when you exhale the smoke billows out of your lungs just like regular
smoking, however, as mentioned, that smoke is actually a much healthier
water vapor that quickly evaporates and therefore does not offend anyone
in the immediate vicinity.
While electronic cigarettes have been around for a while in various
incarnations, it has been recent advances in the technology as well as
ever increasing restrictions against smoking that have propelled the
e-cigarette into a new found popularity. If you are interested in a
healthier alternative to smoking, or if you simply want to have the
freedom to smoke wherever and whenever you want, an electronic cigarette
might be the solution you've been looking for.
