Electronic Cigarettes – A Real Alternative To Tobacco
Since members of the public found out about the risks of smoking many of them have found kicking the habit to be a very hard process. Many companies have been trying to make an effective smoking cessation product for a long time. Nicotine patches, gum and inhalers, smokers have been using them to try and quit their habit.
Electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes and electric cigarettes) are the latest item to come to the market. They have been designed to look and feel just like a regular cigarette, they even give off a vapor that looks like smoke, thankfully they contain no tobacco. The user inhales just like he would with a normal cigarette, but none of the carcinogens that you would find in a tobacco cigarette go into the body, only nicotine.
Inside the electronic cigarette is a battery, an atomizer and a nicotine cartridge, which contains a liquid form of nicotine. When you inhale from the cigarette, the battery powers the atomizer, which turns a small amount of the liquid nicotine into a water vapour. The vapor allows the user to get a hit of nicotine almost right away, just like a real cigarette, rather than waiting minutes to get a hit from patches or gums. Along with producing the vapor the battery also powers a small orange LED at the tip of the cigarette, which makes it look just like a tobacco cigarette.
You can buy the nicotine cartridges in a variety of strengths. Many of the big name brands, like Greensmoke, offer full strength, half strength, and low strength. These steps are designed for people who want to cut down their nicotine intake and quit. Two of the great things about E cigarettes over products like nicotine patches and gum, is that the user gets a hit of nicotine right away, and smokers still get the sensation in their mouths as they “smoke” from the E cigarette. They even give of “smoke”.
The E-cigarette may also save you some money. If you buy a box of 5 cartridges, this is equivalent of 500 cigarettes, yet it will only cost you around $12-$15. The initial purchase of the electronic cigarette kit at around $100 may seem like an expensive buy, you will in fact save money in the long term.
