Electronic Cigarette - The Next Quit Smoking Device

Electronic Cigarette - The Next Quit Smoking Device
Ever since the public became aware about the dangers of smoking a few decades
ago, many people have found quitting the tobacco habit hard. Companies have
been innovating and manufacturing smoking cessation products for many years
now. From nicotine patches to gum, nicotine addicts have been using them to quit
their habit.
Take a Look at Electronic Cigarette
Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes and electric cigarettes)are the
newest product on the market. They are designed to look and feel like real
cigarettes, even down to emitting artificial smoke however they do not actually
contain any tobacco. Users inhale nicotine vapour which looks like smoke without
any of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke which are harmful to the smoker
and others around him.

The Electronic cigarette consists of a nicotine cartridge containing liquid nicotine.
When a user inhales, a tiny battery powered atomizer turns a small amount of
liquid nicotine into vapour. Inhaling nicotine vapour gives the user a nicotine hit in
seconds rather than minutes with patches or gum. When the user inhales, a small
LED light at the tip of the electronic cigarette glows orange to simulate a real
cigarette.

The nicotine cartridges themselves come in various strengths. Most of the major
brands, such as the Gamucci electronic cigarette have full strength, half strength
and minimal strength. This is designed for people who want to quit smoking. As
they get used to using the electronic cigarette, they can gradually reduce the
strength they use until they quit.
The main advantages electronic cigarettes have over nicotine patches or gum is
firstly, users have the nicotine hit much quicker and secondly, because a big reason
why smokers fail to quit suing patches and gum is because they still miss the act of
inhaling smoke from a cylindrical object. The electronic cigarette emulates that

even down to the smoke.
The electronic cigarette is also beneficial from a financial perspective. A set of five
nicotine cartridges costs around 8 and is equivalent to 500 cigarettes. Although
the initial investment of an electronic cigarette kit of 50 may seem steep at first,
users save money in the long run.
As with many popular products, there have been a great number of cheap Chinese
imitations flooding the market. They are usually half the price of a branded
electronic cigarette and look like the real thing as well. It is inadvisable to use
these because they have not been subject to the same rigorous testing the official
electronic cigarettes have and can potentially be highly damaging to the user's
health.
As electronic cigarettes become more and more popular, they are increasingly used
to smoke in pubs and clubs with a smoking ban. Electronic cigarettes seem to be
the next thing and may soon replace real cigarettes in clubs.
