subject: The Clear Advantages Of Electronic Cigarettes [print this page] When electronic cigarettes were introduced to the global market in 2003, comparing its advantages and disadvantages with those of traditional tobacco products was extremely necessary and required clear articulation. Because electronic cigarettes were new back then, proper product information campaigns had to be conducted to highlight its huge difference from traditional tobacco products.
After 7 years, the need to compare electronic cigarettes to traditional tobacco-based cigarettes (now known as analog cigarettes in the jargon) still exists. However, significant grounds have been covered by the online and mainstream campaigns. More people are now aware of electronic cigarettes and what benefits they offer compared to several years ago. In fact, electronic cigarettes have already been endorsed in mainstream television through the American health talk show, The Doctors.
The multilateral campaigns against smoking conducted by health organizations and governments around the world have resulted to a dropping trend in the number of smokers in economically and technologically advanced societies. However, the rise in the number of smokers elsewhere in the world ill continue to rise unless more strident measures and more effective alternatives are promoted.
Today, the advantages of electronic cigarettes over tobacco products are clear and already established. While tobacco smoke poses innumerable serious damage to people's health, the e-liquid vapor produced in electronic cigarettes is totally harmless and can be ingested without any serious side effect. This is because e-liquid only contains water and FDA-approved substances. On the other hand, around 300 out of the 7000 chemicals found in tobacco smoke are either toxic or known carcinogens.
To use electronic cigarettes, users just need to press a button that activates an atomizer, a heating component found inside the e-cigarette. When activated, the atomizer heats up the e-liquid, which in turn transforms into clean, aromatic vapor. The e-liquid vapor can be inhaled safely and come in a variety of flavors that add unsurpassed excitement among aficionados of electronic cigarettes.
Unlike tobacco smoke, the vapor produced from e-liquid does not contain carbon monoxide (a highly toxic and potentially deadly air pollutant) and carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas responsible for aggravating global warming). This fact makes electronic cigarettes an environmentally-compliant alternative to smoking.
There is no reason for smokers to continue engaging in their bad, harmful habit when there is clearly a much better alternative. In at least two aspects--health and environmental protection-electronic cigarettes easily beat traditional tobacco products. Moreover, electronic cigarettes are becoming much "cooler" and trendier as brands, accessories, styles, and e-liquid flavors are getting more diverse and exciting.
