Smokers Who Buy ECigarettes Can be More Healthy and Save Money Too!

What are ECigarettes and How do They Work?

The electronic cigarette was invented in China in 2004 by a company called Ruyan. The original version looked rather like a normal cigarette in a cigarette holder. Modern versions are much more like real cigarettes, although they are available in a wide range of colors, from traditional white to pink, gold and jet black. They consist of three main parts:

A lithium-ion battery, which forms the main body of the cigarette. An atomizer which vaporizes the nicotine solution, which is stored in the... Cartridge, containing propylene glycol, nicotine and flavoring located where the filter would be on a normal cigarette.

The ecigarette contains some sophisticated electronics. When the device is 'smoked', an airflow sensor sends a signal to a microprocessor which activates the atomizer. The atomizer turns some of the contents of the cartridge into vapor, which the user inhales. At the same time an LED activates on the end of the cigarette, giving the impression of a glowing tip. There is no switch on the device; it turns itself off when you stop inhaling.

Why Should I Buy ECigarettes?

Here are the top 10 reasons why you should think about switching from smoking tobacco cigarettes to electronic ones:

As they contain no tobacco, you are not inhaling the 4,000 or so harmful chemicals, many of which are carcinogenic, found in cigarettes. For the same reason, you are not harming anyone else around. Secondhand or passive smoking is not an issue. Nothing is actually being burnt, which puts the electronic cigarette outside the legislation applied to tobacco. They present no fire hazard. You can smoke them anywhere, including where smoking is usually banned (bars, restaurants, etc.). They produce little or no smell and the vapor pro duced quickly dissipates in the air, meaning your clothes, breath, hair etc., don't smell like an ashtray. Because the cartridges are available in a variety of nicotine strengths, it's possible to use less nicotine over time, eventually using 0mg cartridges and just enjoying the flavor. They work out quite a lot cheaper than smoking traditional cigarettes. Just how much depends on the cartridge and your smoking habits. Some users report saving up to 50% off the price they would normally pay for cigarettes over a period of time. Their design offers a similar experience to smoking a normal cigarette. Many people who try nicotine patches and gum find they miss the act of smoking. Electronic Cigarettes allow you to cut out negative aspects of cigarettes, whilst maintaining the sensation of smoking. Nicotine cravings are satisfied faster than they would be by a patch or gum. There is a wide range of flavors available. From regular tobacco to chocolate, there's something to suit e very taste. They are clean and easy to use - no lighter, matches or ashtray necessary!

How Much Money Can I Save if I Buy ECigarettes?

The average cost for a pack of cigarettes in the U.S. is between 5 and 6 dollars. If you smoke a pack a day, that equals roughly 38 bucks a week. Multiply that by four and you get over 150 dollars. That's what you are spending on a monthly basis on a product that all but promises you an early demise. An electronic cigarette starter kit can cost around 60 dollars or less, and will normally come with a pack of 5 cartridges. Each cartridge is roughly the equivalent of 15 cigarettes. With replacement cartridges running at about 2.50 dollars each, it's easy to see that it makes good economic sense to switch from tobacco to ecigarettes, and that's disregarding all the other benefits. And you can save even more if you refill the cartridges yourself!

Can they Help me Quit Smoking?

Sellers of ecigarettes are not generally allowed to market them as a device that helps people quit s moking. However, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting that they can help. Many smokers who are trying to give up cigarettes find using an electronic one feels similar to smoking and gives them an immediate nicotine 'hit'. Nicotine patches and gum just don't give the same satisfaction.
