Benefits of Electronic Cigarettes to Smokers and the Public

Benefits of Electronic Cigarettes to Smokers and the Public Ever since the bad healthy effects of cigarettes were discovered decades ago, steps were taken to protect these people. Public education on the effects of smoking and warning signs on cigarettes packs but still people found it hard to quit the smoking habit. These led to companies coming up with new innovative ways of developing products that helped smokers’ health wise. This led to the manufacturing of nicotine patches and nicotine gum that would help the addicts receive the same satisfaction but in a much healthy way.

Though with this products, smokers found it hard to stop as they did not fulfill all their needs since it did not have the same tactile feel as a cigarette. This led to the companies going back to the drawing board and look for a new way. With years of research, a better way was discovered: the electronic cigarette.

Electronic cigarettes, otherwise referred to as e-cigarettes or electric cigarettes, are designed to look and have the same feel as conventional cigarettes, even emitting artificial smoke. The good thing is that they do not contain any tobacco. Users only inhale the nicotine vapor, similar to smoke, but does not contain any kind of carcinogens that are evident in tobacco smoke and are harmful to smokers and anyone else around him/her.

The functionality is also very technical as opposed to the natural way of the conventional cigarette. The electronic cigarettes contains nicotine cartridges filled with liquid nicotine. As someone inhales, there is a battery-powered atomizer that heat up some of the liquid nitrogen and turns it into vapor. This cigarette will give the smoker the nicotine feel in a matter of seconds as opposed to minutes when using a nicotine patch or gum. Also, as one inhales, the cigarette also lights at the tip due to a small LED light. It simply looks just like a cigarette.

The other benefit of the electronic cigarettes is that it can be used to quit smoking. The nicotine cartridges are available in different strengths. There is the standard, medium, low as well as none nicotine cartridges. Thus, if one is devoted to quitting smoking, it becomes easier to use this device as it is easy to vary the level of smoking while maintaining the same number of smokes every day.

The electric cigarette is also beneficial financially. When one buys a set of five nicotine cartridges, it costs ÂŁ8 and is equivalent to 500 traditional cigarettes. The cost of an electric cigarette is ÂŁ50. Though this may seem expensive initially, it ends up saving money after some time. Of late, a lot of cheap imitations of electric commodities have been spotted from the Chinese market. This also includes electronic cigarettes. As a lot of them are not up to standard since they have not undergone the required official technical tests, they may increase on the health hazards to the user.

Another benefit of e-cigarettes is that they are legally allowed for use anywhere in the world, even in public. This is because the smoke emitted is not harmful to the public thus someone can smoke even in restaurants, pubs or even in their work place.

As the popularity of e-cigarettes continues, they are set to replace the normal cigarettes in the stores.
