subject: Electronic Smoking Alternatives [print this page] While quick, easy stop smoking cures have been paraded before the public for decades now, the overall number of smokers has yet to drop off, confirming two long held suspicions about the practice: first, that it is highly addictive and, second, that people actually like it.With these indomitable obstacles in mind, a new website has been created which aims to provide a "healthy alternative" to smoking cigarettes: namely, smoking cigarettes of a less harmful, electronic variety.
The new site, located at ecigarettestore.co.uk offers information about the new e-cigarette products, which are electronic devices "smoked" just like real cigarettes, though they do not contain the high levels of tar, formaldehyde and other carcinogenic chemicals that make conventional cigarettes so deadly.
To its immediate credit, the site admits that quitting smoking entirely is the healthiest option available while acknowledging that this is, in fact, a very difficult thing to do, and one that is not a realistic or viable option for a significant number of smokers.Moving on from these basic tenets, the site offers information about the new e-cigarette craze, informing users that the electronic variety does offer a nicotine fix without all of the health complications.
The name of the site, ecigarettestore, belies its commercial motivation, however the webhosting of various stop-smoking aids does merit real consideration.Webmasters list the absence of passive smoke and unpleasant odours as high-profile and immediately recognizable benefits of e-smoking.After outlining the health risks associated with real smoking in a scaremongering tone that befits its entrepreneurial purpose, the site offers links to a number of e-cigarette products currently available in Europe and North America.
Tobacco lobbyists have succeeded in getting e-smoking products banned in a number of Asian, African and South American companies thus far, though web hosting of third-party e-cigarette retailer information on the site may help interested purchasers to circumvent current legislation.
