Electronic Cigarettes satisfy a smoker’s nicotine craving by simulating the smoking experience. They replace dangerous tobacco smoke with a nicotine vapor. The vapor is inhaled like real smoke. They have a rechargeable battery, a smart chip, a replaceable cartridge that contains vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol, nicotine (if desired) and an atomizer that, when heated, converts the contents of the cartridge into a vapor. As you inhale, a sensor activates the atomizer which vaporizes droplets of e-liquid. The e-liquid converts to a vapor and delivers the harshness or “throat hit” of tobacco smoke and nicotine (if any).
Electric cigarettes may give you more satisfaction than nicotine patches or gum because they still provide the tactile feel and social experience of holding a cigarette to your lips. In addition, you’re creating no secondhand smoke, making it safe and legal to smoke without putting others at risk. You can maintain your habit while avoiding the consequences and harmful side effects of regular cigarettes.
