“It has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.” Mark Twain.
Can you imagine that? Well you surely can imagine not smoking in your sleep but being able to smoke whenever you wish and more importantly wherever you wish sounds nothing short of dreamy doesn’t it? Well, ladies and gentlemen, prepare to have your dreams come true. Thanks to electric cigarettes – the future of smoking – the world is your smoking area.
Electric cigarettes have reportedly been classified as a much safer and significantly less harmful alternative to traditional tobacco smoking because they include the minimum of toxic ingredients possible. As a matter of fact, studies show that the unhealthy chemicals found in electric cigarettes are also used in nicotine replacement products such as gum or stickers which are perfectly legal. However the most surprising piece of information given to the public is that nitrosamine – a particularly toxic ingredient found in electric cigarettes can also be found in products such as bacon or beer.

Although the pieces of information above might be alarming, the good news is they are the only negative things about electric cigarettes. Not only that but compared to the actual tobacco smoking act and even second hand smoke inhalation electric cigarettes cannot lose. With a very wide range of products available on the market and the possibility of using them almost anywhere, including most public places, electric cigarettes are sure to become the commonest somewhat sinful act of the civilized world.
Each one of these electric cigarettes is formed of a microcomputer, a battery, an atomizer, and a cartridge. Alongside these whoever wishes to purchase a pack will automatically receive a spare battery in order not to have to wait while the first one recharges. Also most electric cigarettes come with some cartridges that last a fair amount of time but things really depend a lot on the buyer’s smoking habits. The life span of a cartridge as well as that of a battery is entirely up to the frequency with which one smokes however a single cartridge roughly equals two normal packages of cigarettes while a battery should last up to a day.
Besides being able to choose cartridges with different amounts of nicotine in them, electric cigarettes might also be an easy way for people to quit smoking thanks to a specific type of cartridge with 0 mg of nicotine. What would be the use of smoking then, you might ask yourselves. The answer is surprisingly easy: Apart from the intense physical pleasure smoking provides, it also constitutes a habit, a constant activity your hands and mouth have. Without smoking you probably wouldn’t know what to do with them. This is why a large number of people gain weight when trying to kick the habit or seem highly anxious – they are either chewing on something or tearing up things like paper to stay busy.
This is where electric cigarettes come in handy since the vapors they eliminate are mostly water based. You can still fool around without actually doing any harm to your health.
