subject: Electronic Cigarettes: The Ultimate Answer To Smoking Woes [print this page] There are three compelling reasons that make smoking tobacco products difficult to justify. The first is that it seriously mangles a person's health. The conclusive fact that countless research show is that smoking virtually approximates a low-level poison that slowly kills the person regularly ingesting it. Second, it delivers the same health hazards to people--including non-smokers--who happen to inhale tobacco smoke. On top of the harmful health effects of smoking, the habit also damages the environment by increasing greenhouse emissions and air pollutants, and by producing toxic waste products in the form of repulsive cigarette butts that look and smell as bad as they really are.
For smokers who really care about the environment as well as their health and those of other people, the only reasonable option really is just to quit smoking. However, reasonable, caring people still smoke in spite of their awareness of the issues. Many experts believe that nicotine addiction can be the culprit but others believe that lifestyle preference also holds the key. There have been substitutes forwarded by many companies such as nicotine gums and patches but these only garnered limited success among smokers. This is because these products are designed to eventually eradicate smoking all together. Many smokers are hesitant to quit smoking because doing so will alter the lifestyle they strongly prefer.
But what if there is a cigarette that delivers the same rush, feel, and experience but does not deal serious health damage to smokers? Now that would be the ultimate answer to every smoker's woe. And believe it or not, such product is already available. This innovative product is known as electronic cigarettes.
Electronic cigarettes were invented in 2003. Since then, electronic cigarettes have been used by quite a number of smokers around the world. Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices that simulate the experience and feel of smoking but without causing any negative health effects. Electronic cigarettes do this by using a substance known as e-liquid.
Electronic cigarettes heat the e-liquid using a component known as an atomizer. When the e-liquid reaches a certain temperature, it turns into vapor. Unlike tobacco smoke, the e-liquid vapor does not contain any toxic or dangerous chemicals, being primarily composed of just pure water, food flavoring, and either vegetable glycerine or propylene glycol. In addition to being clean, the e-liquid comes in hundreds of flavors including tobacco, menthol, cappuccino, cola, rum, almond and apple.
In all fronts, electronic cigarettes beat traditional tobacco products and is in its way of establishing a healthier, cleaner, and more exciting lifestyle for reformed smokers.
