2. So, you are thinking about switching from a tobacco cigarette to
the electronic or E cigarette. Maybe your city has just banned
smoking from every public venue or you know of someone
who is enjoying the E cigarettes. Perhaps you are just tired of
the way smoking traditional cigarettes make you look and
feel. Whatever the reason, you have come to the right place!
While the jury is still out on the possible long-term benefits of
choosing to smoke an electronic cigarette over a tobacco
cigarette, there are several important reasons why you should
consider it. The electronic cigarette is a hand-held, batteryoperated device that delivers nicotine to the user through a
nicotine cartridge, known as the E liquid. The sensation of the
electronic cigarette closely mimics the act of smoking making
it a must-have for smokers. Let us learn of seven reasons to
switch to electronic cigarettes.
3. 1) Smoking the E cigarette will provide you with the
satisfaction of inhaling nicotine without the tar and
thousands of toxicants present in tobacco cigarettes. This
makes “smoking” the electronic cigarette a safer nicotine
alternative to traditional smoking. When you are getting
the satisfaction of the nicotine, it just might help you to
make a decision to cut back or quit entirely. You can also
choose your nicotine strength to give yourself more or less
nicotine.
No Tar or Other Additives
4. 2) Where is the smoke? The E cigarette, sometimes referred
to as the smokeless cigarette, is cleaner because there is
no combustion to light it. The act of “smoking” an
electronic cigarette, known as “vaping,” is actually inhaling
vapor, not smoke. This means that the E cigarette will not
make your skin, hair, clothes, car or furniture reek of
cigarette smoke. There is no secondhand smoke, so it is
less offensive to the non-smoker. No smoke means no
burning, which is safer for you, your loved ones (including
your pets!) and your surrounding environment. With the E
cigarette, you will not feel the need to be a closet smoker
any longer!
No Secondhand Smoke
5. 3) While vaping, you will “feel” like you are smoking even
though you are not. Probably one of the best benefits of
using the electronic cigarette is that you will have the
sensation of smoking while receiving nicotine so you will
feel like you are actually smoking. As the habit of smoking
includes the need to feel the sensation of holding and
drawing from a cigarette, the E cigarette is a satisfying
alternative. This, combined with the nicotine, may even
help to decrease one’s cravings for a tobacco cigarette.
Less overall smoking might even mean a longer life!
Vaping Feels the Same
6. 4) It makes dollars and sense. Smoking the electronic
cigarette is less expensive than traditional smoking.
Although the actual cost will vary by smoker, a pack-a-day
smoker will spend approximately $2.50-3.50 per day on
the electronic cigarette. This is a significant savings for
those who pay nearly $10 per pack in some states.
Purchasing is convenient because you can order them
online. You do not light the E cigarette, so you will also
save money on those disappearing cigarette lighters!
Because the E cigarette does not produce ash, there is no
need for an ashtray either, which also makes clean-up
virtually unnecessary.
Save Money – Lots of Money
7. 5) There are plenty of flavors available to add to the E
cigarette. You can add a flavor cartridge such as regular or
menthol, the brand name of the tobacco cigarette you
prefer, or a fun flavor like cherry or strawberry.
Wide Selection of Flavors
8. 6) The electronic cigarette also has visual appeal. Made to
look like a tobacco cigarette, the E cigarette is a trendy
alternative to the real thing, evoking the feeling of
elegance cigarette smoking once held before we knew of
its harms. You can also choose your own colors, packaging
and accessories.
Be A Trendsetter
9. 7) Finally yet importantly, the environment is a real concern
for many people worldwide. The electronic cigarette
eliminates the use of paper and cardboard to package the
tobacco making it a better solution for deforestation. In
addition, those non-biodegradable, discarded cigarette
butts will not be making way into our streams, lakes,
oceans and rivers, which is a benefit to all.
While there seems to be some public skepticism regarding
the safety of using an electronic cigarette, it is good to do
your homework and read the research about the reasons
to make the switch, as there are many. Read online about
others satisfied with their switch to the electronic
cigarette. If you can get all of these benefits from the
cigarette that is not a cigarette, then it is worth trying!
