Throughout my efforts to quit, I have been constantly doing research trying to find new alternatives that are out there to help smokers quit for good. During my research, I came across a very interesting product that has become a popular alternative to traditional cigarette smoking: the electronic cigarette. Above is a picture of an electronic cigarette "kit."
I had never heard of an electronic cigarette before, and I have no idea if it truly does work the way it is advertised, but I won't deny this product caught my interest. Once again, I have no idea if the following claims are supported by any truth, but electronic cigarette distributors state the following as the main advantages of their product:
- Electronic cigarettes are a much healthier alternative to traditional smoking because while they deliver the smoker the desired nicotine, E-cigarettes do not contain any of the dangerous chemicals and toxins of regular cigarettes, such as tar, carbon monoxide, and other carcinogens that do the must to damage a smokers lungs and heart. Electronic cigarettes contain water, nicotine and propylene glycol.
- Electronic cigarettes are significantly cheaper than regular cigarettes. A "cartridge" of E-cigs (which is the equivalent of around 1.5 packs of regular cigarettes) is only $3, wheras depending where you are this would cost $6-10 buying regular cigarettes.
- Electronic cigarettes create no second hand smoke. This creates many advantages. It makes for a greener planet and also works to eliminate the health hazards caused by second hand smoke, while also allowing the smoker to smoke anywhere they please.
These are the main advantages distributors of E-cigs claim their product offers. Of course I am very skeptical of the true effectivness of E-cigs, but after looking into the product a bit more, I won't lie I am becoming increasingly tempted to at least try them, just to see what they are like. For anyone interested in E-cigs, I found the best website concerning this new product to be: http://greensmoke.com/
