The Functions of Electronic Cigarettes

About twelve months ago, a friend chooses to quit smoking. He tried it all- patches, gum, hypnosis, books, etc. He could find nothing that helped him. He came across an advertisement on the web that talked about a new invention from China and it was becoming very popular in the electronic cigarette. This was the solution for smokers and "new" way to stop smoking. My friend was hesitant at first but shelled out the eighty bucks and bought this new invention as a starter kit. It arrived a week later. It was three parts to the device: battery, atomizer and cartridge.

The battery looked like the stem of a cigarette and the cartridge looked like the butt of a cigarette. As you inhale on the electronic cigarette, the battery charges the atomizer, which creates a vapor from the cartridge. It functions like a real cigarette. You inhale, you get smoke and you exhale. The vapor looks like real smoke and taste like real smoke. It hits the lungs and gives the smoker the same sensation as a regular cigarette. The tip glows like real cigarette when you inhale or draw on it. There are a combination of ingredients in the cartridge that includes propylene gycol and nicotine. The dry ice, which is the propylene gycol, creates that smoke element.

The nicotine cartridges are available from these companies in high, medium, low to none. Smokers can gradually lower the nicotine levels a little bit at a time. The refillable cartridges are good for the duration of the equivalent of eight to ten regular cigarettes.

Although there are benefits, there are also some disadvantages of the electric cigarette. The battery may need charging quite often but it depends on the smoker. The good outweighs the bad. It is less expensive than regular cigarettes. It is a healthier choice than tobacco cigarettes. It does contain the nasty smoke and chemicals like regular cigarettes. The vapor is harmless and it allows smoking the electronic cigarette anywhere.

The most advantageous feature of this product is it can be smoked in areas or building that have banned tobacco smoke. It does not smell and the vapor disappears rapidly. Again smoking can be enjoyed after a meal, in bars, on airplanes and at the workplace.

My friend has not smoked a real cigarette for about a year and is happier and healthier because of his choice. For the health benefits alone, you can’t beat the electronic cigarette.
