Ready or not: The E-Cig Revolution is Here

It started innocently enough.

Sometime about a decade ago, you first began hearing about electronic cigarettes. They may have been featured on a nightly news program. Or there was a vague mention of them in the backend of a magazine or newspaper.

But, that was it. There was nothing concrete. They were hard to get, you couldn’t buy them in the store, your friends weren’t using them, the advantage of using them was  unclear. And frankly, they just seemed to be another wacky gimmick. Maybe people ‘overseas’ were using them, but here in the U.S, their existence  went virtually unnoticed.

Electronic Cigarette Use Has Quadrupled Over the Last Year1

It’s amazing how far the electronic cigarette industry has come since those early beginnings. E-cig conversations are no longer relegated to the back-ends of magazines and filler promos on nightly news channels. They are no longer the ‘crazy’ invention you hear about but never see. And their advantages are anything but unclear.

With no smoke, no offensive odor, and no ash, it has become clear the electronic cigarette revolution is here to stay. Don’t believe us, just look at the signs:

Electronic cigarette retailers can now be found all over the United States. In fact, blu Cigs are now sold in more than 12,000 retail locations nationwide, including stores like Walgreens, H.E.B., Meijer, Sheetz, JR Cigar, and Scolari’s.Celebs have jumped aboard. As sort of a who’s who of electronic cigarette smokers, celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Katherine Heigl, Lindsay Lohan, and Carrie Fisher have all been seen vaping.And of course, maybe the biggest sign of the E-cig industries arrival is the attention they are getting from lawmakers. Visit Casaa.org for a quick glimpse on the potential laws and regulations many states are exploring in regards to electronic cigarettes.

This is only the beginning. The electronic cigarette revolution has just started to take root. Stay tuned to find out what happens next.
