If you are trying to quit smoking, can electronic cigarettes help?
I had to write about electronic cigarettes recently and not really knowing what they were I knew I needed to do some research. I found that not only were they real but that they are actually a phenomenon right now with nigh on five million results returned on Google.
In existence for about three years, the electronic cigarette is a unique device intended to allow smokers to continue smoking but with either none or vastly reduced health concerns. According to many electronic cigarette distributor's they are also very helpful for quitting smoking altogether.
Now in a fourth generation, electronic cigarettes have become much more user friendly than earlier versions which perhaps were a little too large to encourage a mass market appeal. The "mini" is the most realistic e cigarette to date with its length of 100mm being the same as a conventional cigarette.
Containing a taste of tobacco and apparently none of the harmful substances and chemicals found in standard cigarettes, they allow smokers to satisfy their cravings without taking in all those toxins. Is this too good to be true or can the electronic cigarette really deliver on its claims?
The electronic cigarette can be held and smoked just like any other cigarette, right down to the smoke like vapor and glowing end when drawn. A battery, an atomizer and a renewable nicotine chamber creates this cigarette effect. Cartridges are available in different strengths, which slot into a nicotine chamber. These allow the smoker, if they so wish to gradually reduce the amount of nicotine they take in. Eventually quitting and stop smoking altogether if desired.
A nicotine cartridge typically lasts the same time as 15 to 20 cigarettes, thus creating a huge saving to normal costs. Standard, medium, low and no nicotine at all are the various cartridge strengths.
The banning of smoking in public has already helped some smokers to quit smoking but for many the thought of having to brave freezing cold temperatures and rain to have a quick cigarette is a pain but still a compulsion. The electronic cigarette contains no known harmful toxins or substances enabling the smoker to remain warm and dry.
Social benefits can be found also as non smoking friends can remain present while the electronic cigarette is being smoked by their companions.
Upon reflection the electronic cigarette is a healthier, cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to smoking and as the awareness and the market grows they have great potential to successfully replace the harmful cigarettes we have all come to know and many of us have come to dread and fear.
