Electric Cigarette: The Next Generation Cigarette

Smoking cigarettes is easy but leaving it is very tough. As a result, companies have been inventing and engineering smoking termination items for many years now. From gums to nicotine patches and smokeless cigarette, the list is endless and addicts all over the world use them to stop their awful habit.

Electric cigarette or e-cig is the latest product available in the marketplace. They are designed in such a way so as to look as well as feel like actual cigarettes. They even emit artificial smoke without containing any tobacco or nicotine. The smokers breathe in nicotine vapour which isn’t a bit harmful to them or anyone around them.

An Electronic cigarette contains liquid nicotine in a nicotine cartridge. Upon inhalation, the liquid is converted into vaporized nicotine with the help of a battery powered atomizer LED. The user gets nicotine hit in seconds, which is not possible with gums or patches, while the person is inhaling, LED sparks up at the tip of the cigarette to make it look as if it’s burning.

A nicotine cartridge is available in different strengths. Brands like the Gamucci electronic cigarettes possess all the strengths- full, half and minimal. People who want to quit the habit of smoking should use this as it has the option to slowly decrease the strength to bare minimum.

The advantages offered by an electric cigarette are many.
  • With it, smokers hit the nicotine very fast and also quicker than gums and patches. Quitting smoking isn’t much probable with gums as smokers miss the action of gasping smoke from a tubularthing. However, an e cig emulates a real cigarette perfectly.
  • It is reasonably priced. The cost of a kit of 5 nicotine cartridges is £8 which is equal to almost 500 cigarettes, which is a lot. Thus, smokers not only save a huge amount of money, they save their life too. 

As it happens with many products, electronic cigs too have loads of fake Chinese simulationsinundating the market. One can usually get them in half the cost of a branded one and they look the same too, but are not very effective. So, it is imprudent to buy themas they may not have been put to the same arduous testing that branded electric cigarettes have gone through. Fake ones may be even more toxic than real cigarettes. Now, electronic cigarettes are so popular that they are used in pubs and bars too. They appear to be the next big thing to replace real cigarettes.
