What Is An Electronic Cigarette?

This E-Cigarette is a battery-powered device that acts much the same way an ordinary

tobacco cigarette would, but instead of producing smoke it produces vapours from vaporization of the E-Liquid. Read on this article to know more about the electronic cigarette.

According to the UK Environmental Protection Agency and the UK National Toxicology Program, second hand smoke or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) can be classified as a known human carcinogen: a cancer-causing agent. It has been estimated that living with a smoker increases a non-smokers chances of developing lung cancer by 20 to 30 per cent. Children exposed to second-hand smoke are at an increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome, pneumonia, bronchitis, ear infections and severe asthma. Exposure to passive smoke irritates the airways and has instant damaging effects on a persons heart and blood vessels. The smoke blown out into the air by a smoker can be inhaled by anyone who is in the vicinity. Issues pertaining to second hand smoke are becoming a huge concern as studies are beginning to exemplify how injurious it is to people who do not smoke.

What is an E-Cigarette?

The modern electronic cigarette's was designed by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik in 2003. An E-Cigarette, also known as Electronic Cigarette or Smokeless Cigarette, is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine. Each Electronic Cigarette contains a battery, an atomizer and a cartridge filled with liquid nicotine. Every time a person smokes, vapour is created by the nicotine cartridge instead of burning tobacco. The cartridges are reasonably priced and can easily be replaced. E-cigarettes do not pollute the environment or create second hand smoke. Thus it is much safer for those around you. You can use these cigarettes in No-Smoking zones as well.

Types of Electronic Cigarette Cartridges:

There are primarily four types of electronic cigarette cartridges, differentiated on the basis of their nicotine content. The cartridges appear the same, while the contents differ.

1. High nicotine level cartridges: This type of electronic cigarette cartridge is one of the strongest cartridges you can purchase.

2. Medium nicotine level cartridges: These offer a lower dose of nicotine to the high cartridges.

3. Low nicotine level cartridges: They are light in nature, making them an ideal option for users who want to reduce smoking.

4. Nicotine free cartridges: Lastly, one of the upcoming offerings in the market is the nicotine free cartridges. They are basically simulators, containing a strong flavouring agent. With the use of such cartridges, a user may get the impression of smoking (creating a psychological satisfaction), although no nicotine enters their system.

So, if you are really concerned about the side-effects of smoke that is blown out of your cigarette, you can switch over to E Cigs.
