Electronic cigarette, also known as e-cigarette, is presently gaining more popularity than ever before—and about time too! A lot of smokers are encouraged to go for this device rather than puff real cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are battery powered alternatives to the normal ones used. E-cigarettes are composed of a small battery and a heater which contains small amount of nicotine, and other chemicals. Other than it being battery operated, e-cigarettes are considered safer to use as it doesn’t deliver the same nicotine effect such as tar and carbon monoxide – elements known to harm the lungs. They are also better then regular cigarettes as they don’t cause air pollution. These are perhaps the two major reasons why E-cigarettes are preferred over regular cigarettes.
History…
E-cigarettes are created by a Chinese druggist in 2003 and the e-cigarette was introduced to the market on 2004 in Chinafor the first time. By 2005, Golden Dragon Holdings, an institute where Lik was working then, marketed it abroad. At present, there are many companies that produce e-cigarettes namely Blu Cigs and Greensmoke. These two, including other private companies that create these cigarettes, are members of the Electronic Cigarette Association.
The benefits of e-cigarettes…
E-cigarettes have been a way to “help smokers quit smoking”. After the campaigns against the ill effects of the normal cigarettes, their electronic version set a new trend in smoking except its “healthier”. Just as stated earlier in this article, this device has given smokers the privilege to enjoy the nicotine effect less the toxicity it delivers.
Other than the above stated benefits, smokers are also given a leeway to stop from smoking completely. As many know, a chain smoker cannot quit smoking overnight. It is even unhealthy to do it in a snap. Quitting from this bad habit takes time and it should be gradual. What e-cigarette delivers is a way for these smokers to gradually stop from smoking without even using the normal cigar. It was founded these device acts like a nicotine chewing gum which helps smokers satisfy their nicotine cravings. We can therefore say that e-cigarettes are a genius way to help the body adjust as it slowly reduces its want for nicotine.
Reminders to smokers…
Don’t think that E-cigarettes are don’t harm you and environment.Although we have said that e-cigarettes are healthier than normal cigarettes, it doesn’t mean a person can easily engage in puffing more from it. People are still advised to use this device gradually. There might be lesser nicotine effects, but other side-effects are apparent.
One of the biggest side-effects of e-cigarettes is its anti-freeze component known as Diethylene Glyco, which causes inhalation problems. It also has nitrosamines, a cancer-causing compound. Due to these, smokers are advised to use this device carefully. If it breaks on them then they will surely get exposed to these harmful chemicals.
While e-cigarettes are indeed a healthier alternative, helping smokers to even quit smoking, people are still advised to use it carefully. If you want to enjoy your electronic cigarette you need to understand the purpose why you’re using it—to easily unhook yourself from smoking. Remember, even if you use it, but never really got to the part of slowly getting rid of your smoking habits, the purpose of this e-cigarettes are useless.
