An electronic cigarette is a revolutionary electronic smoking device that is designed to simulate the smoking experience that comes from the regular cigarette. Even though the two smoking devices share this similarity, there are many notable differences between them.
First of all, the electronic cigarette has no tobacco and thus no tobacco smoke. From this we can also get that there is no second-hand smoke because it is quite obvious that first-hand smoke would have to be a pre-cursor. Instead, it emits a vapour which is said to be harmless but studies are currently taking place in order to prove or disprove that statement. The vapour also leaves no smell on one’s breath or clothes. It has no tar and no carcinogens.
It is also said that in the long run the electronic cigarette will prove to be cheaper than the regular cigarette as its retailers claim that one electronic cigarette will last longer than the amount of regular cigarettes it will take to reach an even price. It does contain nicotine, but how much is consumed is user optional, unlike the regular cigarette which just offers a set amount of nicotine for every cigarette. A user can even choose to consume no nicotine from the electronic cigarette.
All this can lead us to say that the theory behind the electronic cigarette is that is a very efficient alternative smoking method while in some cases it is a good smoking cessation device. All of the above features of the electronic cigarette imply that it is relatively safe as it reduces health risks, is cost effective and can help one to quit smoking on the whole.
So who can benefit from this knowledge? The first beneficiary is the normal smoker. The electronic cigarette gives the normal smoker control over his/her smoking needs. He/she can regulate how much nicotine he/she wants to use, may be depending on mood or some other factor. The smoker also does not have to repeatedly make ‘store runs’ to buy a pack of cigarettes. Instead, he/she has the luxury of just recharging the battery and re-using as he/she pleases. Saving money is obviously always a desired perk and one that the smoker is promised when choosing to purchase an electronic cigarette. Other benefits include lower health risk, and no bad smell.
Another entity who benefits is the smoker that wants to quit. While I would not advise a user to try the electronic cigarette as a first choice smoking cessation aid, I believe that it has its merit in this field and can potentially be very helpful. Those who have tried everything else with no luck might find this product useful. One who wants to quit smoking can gradually decrease their nicotine intake until they are weaned off it totally.
The other entities that benefit are the retailers and manufacturers of course as increased demand for the electronic cigarette will help to increase their revenue.
Even though the electronic cigarette has its many positives, I firmly believe that the best thing to do is not smoke at all. Go cold turkey if you can. If you cannot, then give this product a try.
