Can smokeless cigarettes help give up smoking

By Tarikul Haque


Though the community became conscious of the dangers associated with smoking a long time ago, they have persisted on continuing with the habit. There has been an more and more high rate of cigarette manufacturing Companies worldwide. Most of the cigarette addicts have opted to take the gum as an alternative of quitting the nicotine content found in the cigarettes. The newest brand of cigarette that is being man-made today is the electronic cigarette (smokeless cigarette).

These smokeless cigarettes have been created to take the appearance of the usual original cigarettes, although unlike the original they are designed to emit mock smoke and also lack tobacco content. The consumers of electronic cigarettes usually inhale a nicotine vapor which looks like the normal smoke but lack the carcinogens which are found in any tobacco products.

The carcinogens found in the tobacco smoke are very harmful to the consumers as well as to the people around them. The electronic cigarettes have got a liquid like nicotine which is found in a nicotine cartridge. During the electronic cigarette inhalation, a small battery power driven atomizer converts a tiny quantity of the liquid nicotine into vapor form. Therefore, when inhaled the nicotine vapor makes the consumer to feel the nicotine effect within a few seconds rather than minutes as with the normal cigarettes or gum. The electronic cigarettes have got a minute LED light at their tip which glows orange when a consumer inhales so as to simulate the actual cigarettes.

There are, however, various strengths of the nicotine cartridges. For instance, the Gamucci electronic cigarettes come with full strength, half strength or minimal strengths. This are mostly created for the users who would wish to quit smoking. This is so because as they continue inhaling small amounts by reducing the strength day by day they'll eventually find it easy to quit. The major advantages of the electronic cigarettes as compared to nicotine patches or gums is that the consumers acquire the nicotine effect much faster and also the users can get the benefit of smoking from a cylindrical object. The electronic cigarettes simulate that down to the smoke.

In terms of the financial aspect, the electronic cigarettes are much beneficial compared to the actual cigarettes. This is because purchasing a set of say five nicotine cartridges would cost you approximately $8 which is equivalent to purchasing around 500 normal cigarettes. Although users may incur a lot of costs in purchasing the electronic cigarette kit, they at long run save a lot of money. There are however a large number of Chinese imitations of the electronic cigarettes which might seem very cheap available currently in the market. These imitations are charged half the normal price of the branded electronic cigarettes and resemble the actual electronic cigarettes. You should therefore confirm before purchasing these types of cigarettes since they have not undergone the testing of the normal cigarettes and can therefore result to high health damages.
