If you went to a trade show, you might have seen one. If you take a stroll through your mall or shopping center, you might have seen one there as well. This product is the electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, and it has aroused the interest in many people, particularly smokers.
The purpose of the e-cigarette is simple: It is meant as an alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes. As long as you have a good e-cigarette model, it is supposed to give you the same feel as though you're smoking a real cigarette but without the harmful side effects. It is not, at the current time, marketed as a cessation device, but the percentage rate of former smokers who started on the e-cigarette have reported that they stopped smoking real cigarettes immediately.
While no research has been conducted as of yet on the long-term effects on e-cigarette usage, users have reported that they are either maintaining the same level of nicotine intake when using tobacco cigarettes or they are actually reducing their intake gradually.
Perhaps the thing that separates the e-cigarettes from other cessation devices is the fact that it combats both the physical and psychological needs of smoking a cigarette. For the obvious addiction to nicotine, the e-cigarette takes care of that through the nicotine that is found in the refill cartridge. For the psychological addiction to cigarettes, which is the act of smoking itself, is also taken care of. No other cessation device can do what the e-cigarette does - not the patch, inhaler, or other herbal remedy.
The benefits of using an e-cigarette are plenty. For one, you will no longer smell like an ashtray. Your home, your clothes, and your belongings will get a whole new makeover and will no longer reek of smoke odors. Second, you will be significantly reducing the amount of toxins that you are putting into your body. The smoke from tobacco cigarettes emits over 4,000 chemicals and other toxins, while the e-cigarette is known, at this time, to emit traces of nicotine.
By using an e-cigarette, you are greatly reducing your risk of developing debilitating disease later on in your life. Research shows that smokers in their 40s to 50s are five times more likely to develop coronary heart disease due to smoking. It is reassuring to know that using an e-cigarette gives you the satisfaction you seek without subjecting your body and health to heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, and cancer of your other organs.
