Though there are few who would make the claim that smoking as a whole is declining, the habit and hobby that's been around for thousands of years is certainly seeing more opposition in modern times than in any other on the history books.
Though the old school image of smoking as a glamorous or exciting pastime has fallen from favor in today's society due to the move toward smoke free environments and the various complications and health effects it can cause. Smoking remains a prevalent habit in spite of the steadily less sympathetic attitudes toward smoking in general, but smokers need not face the difficult task of quitting merely to beat this developing climate, as alternatives are becoming available to avoid many of the pitfalls that cause the arguments against traditional smoking.
Electronic cigarettes, often distributed online by outlets like RealElectronicCigarettes.com, are the primary new alternative (or supplement, if needed) to smoking. These electronic cigarettes present the satisfaction and relief of any normal smoke by distributing nicotine, but via vaporizing a liquid nicotine mixture instead of the usual burning of tobacco.
This vaporization process means that smokers are treated to a gentler water-based vapor mixture, rather than the usual harsh smoke and tar mixture that a smoker receives from any normal cigarette or cigar, the same smoke that's responsible for most of the health problems related to or attributed to smoking and tobacco use. Comprised largely of nicotine, water and glycol, when vaporized this e-juice creates a light vapor with little noticeable scent, a noticeable improvement over the average cigarette.
While the potential health benefits present as good an argument as any for e-cig use, another perk can be found in the low prices of not only the e-cigs and spare parts themselves, but the nicotine mixture as well. A normal pack of cigarettes can range anywhere from three to six dollars on average, but for an e-cig, a pack of cigarettes' worth of e-juice only runs around one dollar, a price that one would find difficult to meet with almost any cigarettes, let alone big name brands. While there's not been a massive contingent of smokers yet to convert to e-cigs, those that have certainly seem to be getting their investment's worth.
