How May Smokers Benefit from E-cigarettes?

SHENZHEN, China - May 4, 2014 - PRLog -- E-Cigarettes, also known as electric cigarettes or electronic cigarettes are smoking alternative devices, which allow you to have almost all of the same pleasures of smoking, without the same health implications. E-Cigarettes essentially allow you to quit smoking - without quitting smoking.

E-cigarettes are made up of 3 components: a nicotine cartridge, a battery and an atomizing device.

The battery component is rechargeable and the e-cigarette packs (http://www.lucistore.com/smokingalternative) come with 2 batteries and a mains adaptor charge pack, so you'll never be waiting for a battery to charge.

The atomizing device is the main component, which is activated when air is sucked in through the inhaler. The atomizing device heats liquid nicotine into a vapour form and passes it into the inhaler.

The inhaler is a replaceable component that will flavour the nicotine vapour into a cigarette (or many other flavours) taste. Each e-cigarette pack (http://www.lucistore.com/smokingalternative) comes with a pack of inhalers, which can be replaced when they run out. Each inhaler gives you approximately the same effect as 20 cigarettes. This means the equivalent of 20 cigarettes costs less than one pound. You'll be able to tell when the inhaler is empty when no more vapour comes out.

Are e-cigarettes actually like smoking?

As an ex-smoker myself who now uses e-cigarettes I can probably give you a better answer to this than most people.

Personally, I found the taste somewhat different to normal cigarettes, but apart from that, I found it to provide exactly the same sensation as smoking:

It provided with an instant nicotine hit, you can get different refills for different strengths too.
It gave me something to do with my hands. Nicotine patches still left me wanting, this gave me something to do.
Best of all, I could start smoking in the house - no odours or chance of burning the sofa.
Also, like I guess many of you - the thought of not getting lung cancer was a big plus.

What is important though: I can honestly say, I do not miss cigarettes.

Are electric cigarettes safe to use?

In 2008, toxicological tests were performed on electronic cigarettes (http://www.healthnz.co.nz/ecigarette.htm) and they found electric cigarettes to be much less harmful than traditional cigarettes.

However, it is important to note that only electric cigarettes which have had rigorous testing can be considered "safe" in any regard. There have recently been reports that many cheap and untested Chinese imitations have been flooding the market. We would strongly recommend you avoid cheap imitations.

Bear in mind that nicotine is a poison and but it is much less harmful than the cocktail of above mentioned chemicals.

What is the best electric cigarette?

Before purchasing an electric cigarette myself, I did a lot of research into the different types that were around. I found a distinct price jump between cheap imports and electric cigarettes that had actually been tested.

I made by judgment based on:

1. It provided with an instant nicotine hit, you can get different refills for different strengths too.
2. It gave me something to do with my hands. Nicotine patches still left me wanting, this gave me something to do.
3. Best of all, I could start smoking in the house - no odours or chance of burning the sofa.
4. Also, like I guess many of you - the thought of not getting lung cancer was a big plus.

I found conclusively that electric cigarettes by Shenzhen Tuofan Technology Co., Ltd. (www.ecvv.com/company/tuofan988/index.html) have the best reviews and feedback, most testing and were competitively priced against other brands.
