One has to admit that fireworks are indeed marvellous artificial creations and they are a pleasure to watch but there are associated pollution and health risks with fireworks. This in turn has caused environmentalists to campaign against cheap fireworks . It has long been thought that the effects of fireworks, the sounds and colourful patterns cannot be replicated but with the advent of new technology and many eco-friendly manufacturers, a new range of fireworks have been developed; not only do they produce less smoke, but they also give out the same desired effects as conventional fireworks for sale at most stores.
If you buy fireworks online, chances are that you have seen a lot of advertisements and banners promoting the sale of low-smoke fireworks.

Even for marriages and other ceremonies, environmentally conscious people opt for smokeless crackers and electronic fireworks instead of the conventional wedding fireworks .
The newest breed of fireworks that are hitting the market, in reality, are not fireworks at all; instead, they are a blend of electronics and sound effects which are designed to give an impressive and customisable effect to cater to the requirements of the people.
