Revolutionizing the Way People Smoke
Never heard of electronic cigarettes? Millions of people already have — just perform a Google search with “auto fill” turned on and as you type, by the time you get to the “c” Google will have guessed you’re searching for “electronic cigarette.” It’s the first possible search term Google chooses for you (with “Electrolux” second).
Electronic cigarettes already are revolutionizing the way people smoke. In fact, smoke from cigarettes will be a thing of the past, because an electronic cigarette produces no smoke! It looks like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, tastes like a cigarette, but doesn’t emit real smoke. It produces no tar, as well.
Folks looking for a way to quit or cut down on their smoking definitely should look into electronic cigarettes. The devices will give smokers the taste of tobacco and satisfy those strong cravings, but they won’t be inhaling the strong and dangerous toxins found in real cigarettes.
An electronic cigarette looks just like a real cigarette. It’s the same length and diameter. Yet the electronic cigarettes have batteries, an atomizer (also known as a cartomizer) and a cartridge that is filled with liquid nicotine. A person holds the cigarette just as they normally would, and inhales it, which signals the atomizer to heat up and vaporize the liquid nicotine, thus emitting a nice mist that looks like real smoke.
But what’s really nifty for those wishing to cut back on their nicotine intake is the fact that the nicotine cartridges come in different strengths, so that users can reduce — or eliminate — how much of the poisonous and addictive substance they take in.
Things get even better. Cigarettes today cost about an average of $50 per carton. But because the liquid nicotine cartridges in an electronic cigarette can last through 15-20 electronic cigarettes, you can purchase the equivalent electronic cigarette refills for about $30.
What’s more, electronic cigarettes can be smoked anywhere — smokers need never again stand behind their employers’ building near the trash bins in freezing weather to satisfy their cravings. Second-hand smoke is non-existent with electronic cigarettes, so smokers won’t be harming anyone.
In addition, never again will smokers hear complaints about how nasty their smoking smells — an electronic cigarette emits no odor!
