subject: Have You Tried An E-cigarette? [print this page] There are plenty of reasons why someone should not smoke cigarettes. The list is easy and even the youngest kindergarten kid can tell you why you should not be smoking. However, many people still smoke. They have an addiction the nicotine and they cannot seem to stop.
The nicotine companies continue to ignore that this is harming the human race. They continue to do this because it is a very profitable business that makes billions and billions of dollars each year.
Besides the harmful health effects of smoking it also causes people to spend large amounts of money annually on the privilege to harm themselves. This addicting habit has also caused many to financially strap themselves and their families in order to support their habit.
The odor of cigarettes and other tobacco products is also offensive to non smokers around. This is so much so the case that laws have been passed that govern the use of tobacco in public places.
While not a perfect alternative, there is a thing called an e-cigarette. This may sound a little funny, but the concept is one that is designed to save the smoker money, be a little more environmentally friendly with some recycled pieces to the kits, be less offensive to others around and to still satisfy the cravings of the smoker.
The difference in these types of cigarettes is that the nicotine and flavoring are done via a battery versus a fire. This means that there is no smoke and no odor to offend people. These also then last a lot longer than a regular cigarette. That means that the smoker is able to save money and smoke in more places than they could before. Because the e-cigarette is smokeless and odorless, it is exempt from laws that prohibit the use of tobacco in public places.
While this is not the best solution it is a compromise for those that wish to continue smoking but are tired of all of the hassles that come with smoking. It is a solution that can bridge a gap between the smokers and the non smokers.
Some ask if there is a health benefit to using this new kind of cigarette. In reality, there is not any health benefit because you are still using tobacco, which is known to cause lung cancer. Whether the effects of this kind of cigarette is better or worse than a traditional cigarette is debatable.
