Electronic cigarette: the next device to stop smoking

Since the public became aware of the dangers of smoking a few decades ago, many people have found it difficult to quit tobacco. Companies have been innovating and manufacturing smoking cessation products for many years. From nicotine patches to gum, nicotine addicts have been using them to kick their habit.

Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes and e-cigarettes) are the newest product on the market. They are designed to look and feel like real cigarettes, even giving off artificial smoke; however, they do not actually contain tobacco. Users inhale smoke-like nicotine vapor without any of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke that are harmful to the smoker and those around them.

The electronic cigarette consists of a nicotine cartridge that contains liquid nicotine. When a user inhales, a small battery-powered atomizer converts a small amount of liquid nicotine into a vapor. Inhaling nicotine vapor gives the user a nicotine hit in seconds instead of minutes with patches or gum. When the user inhales, a small LED light at the tip of the e-cigarette glows orange to simulate a real cigarette.

The nicotine cartridges themselves come in various strengths. Most of the major brands, such as the Gamucci e-cigarette, have full wattage, medium wattage, and minimal wattage. It is designed for people who want to quit smoking. As they get used to using the e-cigarette, they can gradually reduce the force they use until they quit.

The main advantages that e-cigarettes have over nicotine patches or gums is, firstly, that users receive nicotine much faster and, secondly, because one of the main reasons why smokers do not quit using patches and gum is because they still miss the act of inhaling smoke from a cylindrical cigarette. object. The electronic cigarette emulates that even down to the smoke.

The electronic cigarette is also beneficial from a financial perspective. A set of five nicotine cartridges costs around £8 and is equivalent to 500 cigarettes. Although the initial investment for a £50 e-cigarette kit may seem high at first, users save money in the long run.

As with many popular products, there have been a plethora of cheap Chinese imitations flooding the market. They are usually half the price of a name brand e-cigarette and look real too. It is not recommended to use them because they have not been subjected to the same rigorous tests as official e-cigarettes and can potentially be very harmful to the health of the user.

As e-cigarettes become more and more popular, they are increasingly being used for smoking in ban-smoking pubs and clubs. E-cigarettes seem to be next and may soon replace real cigarettes in clubs.
