E cigarettes & Their Benefits

Most people are aware that smoking cigarettes is bad for their health, in the UK, smoke-free regulations mean that smoking in the workplace, pubs, clubs, and restaurants is no longer permitted. Two of the primary benefits of e cigarettes are that their usage is not restricted by the smoke-free regulations, and because they do not contain tar or any known carcinogens, they are a far healthier option when compared to traditional cigarettes.

E Cigarettes are battery powered devices that work by vaporizing a solution which contains nicotine. The user inhales this harmless vapour in place of smoke. E cigs also contain flavourings and Polyethylene glycol to make the experience of smoking an e cigarette as close as possible to traditional smoking, Polyethylene glycol provides the "throat hit" that smokers experience when inhaling, it is a safe and tested substance that is used in many other products including toothpaste, cream, and medicines.

All E cigarettes work on the same basic premise, when the user inhales, or pushes a button, the solution is heated by a component known as an atomizer into a fine vapour, this vapour replaces the smoke of a traditional cigarette. because the vapour is produced by a heated element rather than fire, the risk of fire is also greatly reduced.

Unfortunately there have not yet been any official studies conducted into whether or not e cigarettes are an effective way to quit smoking. There are however numerous reviews online from users who state that they were able to replace tobacco with E cigs without noticing any significant difference or suffering nicotine withdrawal symptoms
