It is estimated that more than 1.2 billion people, all over the world, smoke cigarettes. Surprisingly, most people are aware of the detrimental health effects that can result from cigarette smoking. Heart disease, mouth and lung cancer, breathing problems, as well as many other health ailments have been linked to smoking cigarettes. Even though this information is widely known, tobacco users continue to smoke – feeling that the benefits of smoking outweigh the health risks that are involved.

However, there is now a better solution for smokers who are concerned about the damage they are doing to their bodies. The electric cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette, gives the user the same associated feelings that they would experience when smoking a standard cigarette, but the smoker does not inhale any smoke, carbon monoxide or tar. E-cigarettes are designed to look like regular cigarettes and allow the user to control their level of nicotine intake. Another bonus of this product is that it doesn’t produce any ash. Rather, E-cigarettes use a rechargeable battery and nicotine cartridges. Say goodbye to ash stains on your clothes! In addition, they also don’t require a flame to be lit, so no more lost lighters!

In the past few years, electric cigarettes have been gaining popularity; there are different brands of these cigarettes that offer a variety of flavors including menthol, apple coffee, strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Many companies claim they taste just like a regular cigarette, but there is another more important advantage: they can be used in public areas where cigarettes are not allowed since no smoke is produced!  These products are also more cost effective: one e-cigarette lasts longer than a regular cigarette resulting in a savings of up to 75% (estimated) on their cigarette costs. So, the next time you are craving a smoke, consider this: e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes.
