The Benefits Of Using Electric Cigarettes Explained In Detail
Powered by Max Banner Ads
Electronic cigarettes, invented barely nine year ago by Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, have quickly catapulted from being an obscure gadget to the forefront of tobacco harm reduction and the antismoking debate.
The soaring popularity of the device is no coincidence. There are many benefits and perks associated with the switch to electronic cigarettes, which has led smokers to see them as a high-tech upgrade to the habit they so well know and love.
No More Tobacco Smell
One of the main stigmas smokers have to constantly deal with is the idea that they smell bad. It is also not an untrue one, since the smell of cigarette smoke has a penchant for clinging onto the clothes, hair and skin of the smoker. On the other hand, the vapor produced from electronic cigarettes has very little scent, and in most cases it will only linger for a couple of minutes if the nicotine solution has very strong flavorings.
Brighter Smiles
Smoking tobacco leaves behind a mixture of sticky, murky particulate known as tar. This not only affects the lungs and stains the smoker’s fingers and nails; it also sticks to teeth creating the ever familiar yellowish hue of a smoker’s smile. A few weeks after switching to electronic cigarettes, these stains start to recede.
Returning Senses
An unavoidable and universal side-effect from smoking is partial anosmia and ageusia – in other words, lack of smell and taste respectively. The same compounds in cigarette smoke that kill lung tissue can also affect the taste buds in the tongue and odor receptors in the nose. Most smokers who switch to the electronic alternative begin to recover these senses within the week.
No Second Hand Smoke
Second hand smoke is believed to cause over 46,000 annual deaths in the Unites States. Moreover, it usually results in awkward, gauche and even hostile interactions with non-smokers. Electronic cigarette vapor, on the other hand, does not contain any harmful toxins that could jeopardize innocent bystanders, and it produces little to no odor to bother them.
Improved Lung Function
By dramatically reducing the harm done from smoking, electronic cigarettes help users continue the habit while giving their lungs a break. In fact, Michael Siegel, a researcher from the Boston University School of Public Health has called smoking electronic cigarettes “the next best thing to quitting”. Most electronic cigarette users report a drastic improvement in their lung and airway function after their third month of ‘vaping’.
Insurance Cost Reductions
Since electronic cigarette smokers are no longer tobacco users, they do not need to pay the same premiums a traditional smoker does.
No Ashtrays and Butts
While they have other maintenance needs, electronic cigarettes produce very little waste. A single pack of cigarettes can produce an ashtray full of trash, while the only things electronic cigarette smokers need to worry about are empty e-liquid bottles and spent atomizers or batteries.
Smoke Freely and In More Places
Despite the fact that some places have passed ordinances against electronic cigarette use indoors, they are still legal to use in many places where smoking is prohibited. Additionally, smokers with non-smoking loved ones no longer have to worry about stepping out into a cold porch or balcony to enjoy their recreational nicotine.
More Flavors and Variety
While UK electronic cigarettes will never be able to accurately reproduce the taste of a good cigar or pipe, the available flavors smokers get to chose from are literally in the hundreds. From desserts to fruit flavours, and even soft drinks and spirits are all available choices along with a myriad of different tobacco like essences.
Long-Term Money Savings
A starter kit for an electronic cigarette can cost as much as a carton of traditional cigarettes, if not more. However, once purchased it will last for a long time, and all a user needs to spend on are nicotine liquids and a few extra atomizing devices. A single atomizing device and a 30ml bottle of nicotine fluid will last longer than two cartons of cigarettes at only a fraction of the cost.
