Electronic Cigarettes Become Most Popular

Talk about electronic cigarettes.

There is a growing tendency among smokers to switch from smoking traditional cigarettes to using electronic cigarettes. Since their introduction into the North American market some 9 years ago, 1 in 20 of the 40 million smokers are using or have used electronic cigarettes or e-cigs as they are sometimes known as.

Smokers who have used electronic cigarettes to quit smoking have found it as the most effective and successful tool they have ever used. Many have unsuccessfully spent thousands of dollars on nicotine patches, nicotine gum, pills, acupuncture, hypnosis, only to revert back to the habit.

So how is the e-cig more effective than the other quit smoking products on the market? The main difference is that the electronic cigarette looks, tastes and feels like a real cigarette, without the tar and harmful chemicals that are associated with conventional cigarettes. The user can vary the strength of nicotine from 16mg to zero over a period of time, giving the body time to adjust to the lack of nicotine in the bloodstream.

The other distinct advantage is that with an e-cig, the user is actually smoking. He or she is holding the device between the fingers, inhaling the harmless vapour and exhaling. Most of the people who have tried to quit using a nicotine patch or gum, have sorely missed this tactile action of putting a cigarette to the mouth, inhaling and exhaling. This action alone can be attributed to the success of the electronic cigarette.

The e-cig is here to stay despite various local governments and the large tobacco corporations efforts to ban its sale in this country. There are many advantages when a smoker changes from smoking traditional cigarettes to e-ecigs. The main ones are that they contain none of the harmful toxins and tar, they can be smoked anywhere as they do not emit any harmful second-hand smoke, and they are cheaper to use than conventional cigarettes.
