Why Smoking Electronic Cigarettes is Better than Smoking Tobacco [h2]
Electronic cigarettes are increasing in popularity and not only among heavy smokers about to embark on a long flight. They are growing in popularity as a healthier option for smokers.
Today, it is a widely known fact that tobacco cigarettes can cause cancer and heart disease. Yet smoking is so addictive that for many people the thought of quitting is out of the question.
Electronic Cigarettes Provide Smokers with a Healthier Alternative [h2]
Electronic cigarettes contain nicotine but they don't contain all the harmful chemicals which can be found in cigarettes. This device is meant to offer smokers the smoking experience that they enjoy at a greatly reduced health risks.
Although it looks and acts like a cigarette when you exhale a vapor is released that gives you the feeling of smoking a cigarette without the bad smell.
Second hand smoke is also not a factor with electronic cigarettes. There is a vapor that is expelled with every puff which doesn't contain all the poisonous chemicals that tobacco cigarettes are laced with.
Another benefit for smokers is that electronic cigarettes are allowed on most airlines, bars and restaurants, so you no longer have to feel like an outcast.
How Electronic Cigarettes Work?
Electronic cigarettes are battery powered electronic devices that look like a cigarette. The tip lights up when you inhale - this gives it a more authentic look and feel.
They are composed of:
A cartridge - Mouthpiece which often contains liquid infused with nicotine which is inhaled an exhaled
The Atomizer - Heats up the liquid to create a vapor
Power Supply - Usually a battery
When you inhale the vapor containing nicotine goes straight into your lungs, much like a regular cigarette without all the carcinogens. The "smoke" that the electronic cigarette releases when you exhale is composed of this vapor which is only for show. For this reason electronic cigarettes are not banned from public facilities.
The invention of the electronic cigarette may be the smoker's solution to cleaner air. You enjoy the benefits of smoking without the health hazard.
