subject: Going Green With The E Cigarette: Better Alternatives [print this page] Most of us are concerned with how we can contribute to accomplish a less littered, less cluttered, and healthier environment. For those who are smokers, that may mean going green with the e cigarette.
It is difficult to argue that cigarette butts are not an eye sore and a major contributor to the litter found around public places and homes. Millions upon millions of butts find their way from ash tray to dump every year that not only take up space but also leak toxic chemicals. These chemicals are carried by rain water to our oceans where they become part of the water cycle that finds its way back to our taps and our drinking water. In addition to the butts themselves, there are also millions of packages lined with tin foil, and plastic wrapping that must be discarded. The e cigarette solves the problem of all this litter and does not require an ash tray.
The e cigarette is an easy way to attack both the nicotine craving and the garbage problem. They create very little litter. There is only the packaging and the empty cartridges that must be discarded occasionally. There is no ash, no litter after a single use, and each one contains at least the equivalent of three and a half packages of cigarettes. That is tons and tons of litter avoided annually by making a simple green switch!
This product has many advantages aside from being green friendly. It is also friendly on the wallet. A comparison in the price of regular cigarettes and the e cigarette of equal amounts of nicotine shows that the e cigarette is actually a cheaper alternative. It is also much more convenient as cartridges can be easily ordered in bulk and take up little space. If money is short, the delivery time is not long and so it is also possible to order just a few at a time. This is quite convenient, especially if you live in an area that has frequently unpleasant weather.
In addition, it is a healthier choice for the smoker. It contains a vaporizer so the "smoke" inhaled contains only vaporized nicotine without any of the harmful chemicals and tar that result from the burning of a regular cigarette. This also translates into a healthier environment for your family as there are no second hand effects.
Another attractive advantage is that there is no lingering and unattractive odor. Your clothes, your car, and your home will be left smelling just the way they are. Single and looking for the one? This product opens up a whole new non-smoking dating pool without the risk of being shunned for that cigarette smell and taste. So long to the days of the dwindling numbers of datable smokers.
One of the best things about this product has to be that they can be used anywhere. Without offensive odors and second hand smoke, they are legal almost every where.
The green e cigarette is a great evolutionary step in nicotine consumption. It will allow smokers a socially accepted avenue of use that is better for the health of everyone and the planet.
