What is an E-Cigarette?

Jim Posey
Smoking is a huge problem through the United States. Millions of people will start smoking this year. With smoking comes an unhealthy populace. The negative side effects of smoking include raises your chances of getting many different types of cancers with lung cancers at the top of the list according to NIDA. And with worry of second hand smoke comes the degradation of the smoking community. Smokers are slowly turning into an ostracized minority.

This is where the e- cigarette comes into play An E-cigarette is a small tube (most of the time taking the appearance of an actual cigarette). E-cigarettes are equipped with a small tube of refillable nicotine fluid. When inhaled this fluid is superheated producing water vapor, except this water vapor is laced with nicotine. In essence, it is a cigarette without the harmful effects of smoke, or the lovely chemicals packed into every cigarette by the caring tobacco companies.

The main benefit of E-cigarettes is how they will help people quit smoking. For people who derive a lot of pleasure out of the psychological aspects of smoking this is their best chance. You hold the cigarette between your fingers, taking a long slow drag you feel the harsh vapor hit the back of your throat; releasing this vapor with a satisfying exhale that sends a plume of white could into the stratosphere. In essence you are having a cigarette.

Another advantage over cigarettes is that since there is no second hand smoke you will be able to take your e-cigarette to places where analog cigarettes would make you a leper. Not only can you smoke up right outside of the restaurant, but you could also smoke up inside the restaurant as well! Though the establishment might not always think it's a great idea, if you're smoking an e-cigarette inside a restaurant or store you are not violating any present laws. And because you don't have that smell associated with regular cigarettes you can feel free to smoke it in your car without the worry of permently smelling up your car.

The other great advantage of the e-cigarette is how much you save in costs. When you consider that the average pack a day smoker pays close to 150 dollars a month on cigarettes you will appreciate the fact the after the initial purchase of the "e-cigarette" all you will have to buy is replacement nicotine juice. Average cost: $15.
