Do you want to quit smoking? Are you aware of the smoking hazards but still not able to get rid of this habit? Are you fed up? If your answers to those questions are ‘Yes’, then you are in the right place.

What is an Electronic Cigarette? Electronic cigarette or ecigarette is a device that allows the smoker to have the flavor and feel of nicotine without the consumption of cancer-causing agents such as tar, carcinogen additives, hydrocarbon and other harmful substances.

They look like a real cigarette and even release artificial smoke. The smoker can puff on a cigarette without inhaling any real smoke. Therefore, smoking an ecigarette is not risky for the smoker as well as the people around him.

Elements of an Electronic Cigarette: Ecigarette is in the form of a cylindrical tube which resembles the traditional cigarette. The ecigarette functions like the normal cigarette. It  includes a mouthpiece, an atomizer and a battery.

Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece or ‘Cartridge’ holds the nicotine solution filled in the small plastic cup. The nicotine is available in different strengths. One may select the nicotine strengths from high, medium and low level. Cartridges having no nicotine are also available. The cartridge can be replaced or refilled once the liquid in the mouthpiece is consumed.

Atomizer: The atomizer or the ‘Heating Element’ of the ecigarette is used to convert the solution of nicotine present in the cartridge to vapors.

Battery: The small battery powers the heating element of an ecigarette and is rechargeable. The full charge lasts for about a day. LED light cover caps the battery which indicates the activation of the device. The color of LED is mostly orange to resemble the burning of the real cigarette.

How an Electronic Cigarette Works: When the smoker inhales through the mouthpiece, the sensor detects the airflow and activates the heating element or the atomizer. The heating of the atomizer, vaporizes the nicotine solution filled in the mouthpiece. These vapors look like smoke and offers the smoker the same feel and taste of a traditional tobacco cigarette. These vapors evaporate instantaneously without harming the smoker. The glowing LED light gives the impression of the burning cigarette.

Benefits of Electronic Cigarettes: The smoker gets the true satisfaction of actually smoking a cigarette. Electronic Cigarettes are cost effective and much cheaper than traditional cigarettes. Thus, you can save large sums of money while keeping your health risk-free. The ecigarettes can be used in no smoking areas. The smoker has the real freedom to smoke whenever and wherever he wants.
