Electronic Cigarettes: Do The Risks Outweigh The Benefits
sponsors
Only recently are people becoming aware of the electronic cigarette even though they have been available in for about the last 3 years. These devices go by other names such as e-cigarettes and personal vaporizers. They are suitable for smokers who want to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes since it gives the impression of smoking real tobacco without actually smoking. Also, a user need not worry about its harmful effects on health.
Its mechanism is very simple. The heating element is activated when the user takes a draw. The element then vaporizes the e-liquid contained in a cartridge. The e liquid also contains the nicotine. The mouthpiece is specifically designed to allow the release of this vapor into the mouth of the smoker just like smoking e real cigarette.
There are two common styles of electric cigarettes. There is the pen-style and the cigarette-style. The pen-style is the earlier version of e-cigarette whereas the latter is the current version most popular in the market as most users find the cigarette style more appealing. This is especially true for those who are trying to quit smoking.
In both styles, the e-cigarette is composed of three parts. These are the mouthpiece, the heating element, and the battery. Mouthpiece is also known as the cartridge while the heating element is also called the the atomizer. The batteries of e-cigarettes vary in size and their life depends on its size, usage and the environment.
The cartridge or mouthpiece is where the e-liquid is stored. It may or may not include nicotine or flavor and the choice is yours. It contains an absorbent material that holds the e juice. When the liquid runs out, you simply drip more into the cartridge to refill it or it can be replace with a prefilled cartridge.
The maintenance of e-cigs is not a problem because all of its components are easily available online. E-liquid can be purchased with various nicotine strengths and there are many flavors to choose from. Some e-cigarettes have atomizers that do not need to be removed to be refilled. The batteries of the device can be recharged in wall sockets, cars, and even USB ports.
Using smokeless cigarettes can be a more effective alternative to smoking cessation than nicotine patches or gums. They have the advantage of being less expensive while giving the same satisfaction as smoking a real tobacco cigarette. Moreover, compared to a tobacco cigarette, an e-cigarette does not contain the harmful substances like tar, carbon monoxide, benzene, and formaldehyde.
It may seem expensive to buy an electronic cigarette but when you consider that the refill for the cartridges are inexpensive and last a really long time, the investment does pay for itself very quickly. Another plus is that it is considered not against the law to use the smokeless cigarette in public places that prohibit smoking. Since it does not give off second hand smoke, is not considered detrimental to the health of the public. The vapor it gives off does not have an unpleasant smell and does not stick to your clothes, hair or surroundings in case one smokes in a closed space.
