your good health

Smokers around the world are finally beginning to hear some good news as it relates to their favorite activity, smoking. They have a new option, and it is called the electronic cigarette.

Smokers had been committed to a future of paying for an expensive habit that may even cost them their lives. But thanks to this new technology, the future is looking a little bit better for those who smoke cigarettes on a daily basis. The electronic cigarette industry has taken off in full force, and it's early successes are the result of tangible benefits that the electric cigarette, or e cig, gives to the consumer.

First of all, electric cigarettes have no smoke, no odor, no tar, and no carcinogens. This alone is primed to make electronic cigarettes the future of smoking for a long time. Smokers that want to enjoy the rush of nicotine, can get it without ingesting the 4,000+ chemicals, carcinogens, and tar that cause illness and cancer. So it's a much purer smoke from that angle.

The electronic cigarette also gives it's user additional benefits like an ability to select nicotine levels from 0 (none) to full flavor, or max nicotine. Flavors are also changeable, because of the unique design of the electric cigarette. Smoking enthusiasts find that electric cigarettes satisfy their cravings in a superior way, because they have hundreds of intense flavor options like: dutch apple pie, chocolate truffle, caramel, cheesecake, cherry crush, strawberry, and others. If you can imagine it, there's probably a flavor for it with electric cigarettes.

The flavor essence and nicotine are located inside a liquid in the removable cartridge at the end of the device where the user smokes. The other end of the e-cigarette has an LED light that looks like the "cherry" on the end of a traditional cigarette. In the center is an atomizer that vaporizes the liquid and delivers the smoker a hit of nicotine and flavor with each and every puff.

The other tremendous benefit to smokers in using an electronic cigarette is that the cartridges are sold similarly to traditional cartons, meaning a smoker will receive about 200 cigarettes worth of enjoyment from a carton of electric cigarette cartridges, just as they would with a carton of traditional cigarettes. However, the price of a carton of these cartridges can be as low as $20, even including the shipping. Traditional cigarettes, on the other hand, cost up to $7+ per pack and roughly $60-70 or more per carton, in some areas, because of all the tobacco taxes and legislation currently in effect in the U.S. This is a huge benefit, and smokers can expect to save anywhere from 60-75% by switching to an electronic cigarette, which is huge during a recovering economy. It's projected that a pack a day smoker can save $1800 per year, and a 2 pack a day soker can save $3600 per year by switching to electric cigarettes.

If those benefits were not enough to set the electronic cigarette industry ablaze, electric cigarettes can also be used in most places where cigarettes are banned, because they do not contain tobacco or smoke! This allows for smoking at bars, nightclubs and restaurants again, where it had been a common practice until legislation was passed to take away smokers rights. Now electronic cigarette smokers can smoke everywhere, and feel above the law, because there is no law against second hand vapor. Electronic cigarettes do not pass on harmful second hand smoke to the air like regular cigarettes do. Some e-cigarettes even smell appetizing depending on the smoke juice being used at the time.

This is a huge and unexpected change for most smokers who have wished they could quit, but were unsuccessful over the years. Now they a real ability to enjoy themselves with a lot of the poisons removed from their lives. They can feel much more positive when they smoke, and do so with a clearer conscience since there is no smoke, tar, odor, carcinogens, or second hand exposure to worry about. While the safety of such a device is still under debate, one society of health professionals, the American Association of Public Health Physicians, estimates that an electronic cigarette is at least one thousand times less harmful than a traditional cigarette. They also believe that four million smokers will avoid cancer and other terminal illnesses brought on by smoking during the next 20 years, if electric cigarettes gain widespread use. If that estimate is proven true, then this amazingly positive realization will touch many millions more people, as just about all of us know someone, in our circles of friends and family, that smokes. This may be a real opportunity for them to improve their quality of life in the future, and that will effect us as well.
