subject: Tobacco Smokers Think Of The Electric Cigarette As A Nicotine Alternative [print this page] For many years now tobacco smokers have felt hopeless when it came to their addiction to tobacco and the nicotine in it. Not only are smokers addicted to the tastes and feel of the smoke they get from burning the plant, but they are also addicted to the nicotine in the tobacco and the habit of holding a cigarette in their hands and the inhaling itself. When you combine all of the ritual involved in smoking, it makes it very difficult for a tobacco smoker to address all of these issues when they are trying to or thinking about quitting smoking.
So many smokers have found the process of quitting smoking overwhelming and have not been able to handle the process. A lot of them have given up trying to stop all together because they just do not believe they can do it. For those tobacco smokers there has been a glimmer of hope given to them to deal with their nicotine addiction and the habit of holding and inhaling. If you ask most smokers what aspect of the habit they are afraid of the most, the majority of them will tell you that the tar, chemicals and toxic smoke from the tobacco is what they worries them most of all.
These are the reasons that many of them have turned to the electric cigarette to deal with their nicotine addiction. Most smokers do not feel that it is the nicotine addiction itself that poses the most risk to them, but the other aspects mentioned above. The electric cigarette does not have any tar because there is no tobacco. It does not produce real smoke because there is no tobacco to be lit. The vast majority of chemicals are not present either because there is no tobacco. What they are left with is the nicotine in the form of a vapor that has very few chemicals to deal with.
Smokers feel much better about using this product because it does remove many of the risks associated with smoking. They realize that they are still addicted to the nicotine they are taking in, but it does give them much less to worry about while they are still allowing themselves to indulge in a mock smoking habit that they have become accustomed to. They might now view the electric cigarette as a perfect or even permanent solution to their nicotine addiction, but it does give them an option to be able to at least remove the tobacco from the equation.
