Every year the stop smoking campaign intensifies here in the United States
. This is due to an increasing awareness of the negative health effects of smoking along with the power of nicotine addiction. Although smoking is still legal, the effects of cigarette smoke are chastised by not allowing smoking in public places. The tobacco lobby with its power will always keep smoking legal in spite of the deadly effects on the body. Non-smokers object to these effects and hence the ban on smoking in public places. As the hands of the government are tied by greedy lobbyists, it is up to us to take our health into our own hands. If one is expecting the long arm of the law to intervene in this respect, one would be likely disappointed.
Smokeless cigarettes or electronic cigarettes offer some hope to smokers trying to quit.

This mixture gives the smoker the sense that he is still indulging in real cigarettes while in actuality there are none of the toxic effects that cigarettes bring into the picture. Some smokers go as far as eliminating all the nicotine from smokeless cigarettes completely. They use electronic cigarettes for the sole purpose of filling their lungs up and to get the hand to mouth action that they come to associate with smoking.
