E-smoking is the Best Alternative to Tobacco Smoking

According to the survey done at the global level, there were 1,690,000 premature deaths from cardiovascular disease among smokers and 850,000 lung cancer deaths in 2000. In 2001, there were 118,000 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [COPD] deaths from smoking, worldwide. Today, heart disease is the leading cause of death among smokers. Smoking is bad for the heart, but the fact is, tobacco use plays a role in a huge number of diseases that eventually lead to disability and/or death.

The best alternative to tobacco smoking is e-smoking. E-smoking is increasingly becoming the most accepted substitute to conventional tobacco smoking.

What is e-smoking?


E Smoking refers to the inhalation of nicotine in the form of a vapor/steam. This is done with the help of an electronic device, which is also known as an electronic cigarette, e-cigarette, smokeless cigarette and so on.

How does e-smoking work?

E-cigarettes run on batteries. The device comprises a vaporizer, a battery and a cartridge. The mouthpiece of these e-cigarettes contains a disposable cartridge filled with liquid. The important substances in the liquid are nicotine and propylene glycol. When air flows through the apparatus, it is detected by a microprocessor. The microprocessor then triggers an atomizer, which instills tiny droplets into the air flow. This results in a vapor mist, which is inhaled by the user. The vapor resembles regular cigarette smoke due to the addition of propylene glycol. It not only replicates cigarette smoke but also the temperature of common cigarette smoke.

These cigarettes give smokers a real smoking experience without the ill- effects of traditional cigarettes. These cigarettes allow smokers to select the concentration of nicotine they prefer to inhale, which ranges from zero, medium to high levels. Each cartridge in these smokeless cigarettes lasts as long as 2 packs of real tobacco cigarettes, while its battery provides back-up equivalent to 15 tobacco cigarettes.

A high-quality e-smoking device has a disposable atomizer, so one does not have to replace the complete device in case newer technology is available. Besides, it is preferable to use an e-cigarette with cartridges that can be refilled, making it even more affordable.

Advantages of e-smoking
  • There is no harmful smoke and smell involved in e-smoking. It is thus very environment friendly.
  • There is no emission of harmful gases, such as tar, carbon monoxide, cyanide, ammonia and so on.
  • E-smoking keeps you free from bad breath and stained teeth.
  • It allows you to smoke anywhere and at anytime, even in no smoking areas.
  • It gives you the choice of selecting the level of nicotine you prefer to intake.

Top Reasons for Smoking a Smokeless Cigarette

According to the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), one in five deaths in the United States is caused by smoking. The CDC further reports that around 443,000 deaths occur annually because of smoking, with 49,400 deaths occurring because of second smoke. With such figures haunting smokers, it makes perfect sense to give up your traditional cigarette for a smokeless cigarette. With increasing social pressure, many public as well as private places, such as offices, restaurants, bars, etc., have put a ban on smokers. While that may make smokers feel like social pariahs, opting for a smokeless cigarette can actually help resolve such issues. Besides that smokeless or electronic cigarettes (as they are also known), are a healthier alternative as compared to traditional cigarettes. Read on to find out more on why you should be smoking smokeless cigarettes instead of your regular killing sticks.

Why Smoke a Smokeless Cigarette
Here we will take a closer look at the various reasons why a smokeless cigarette is a better alternative to traditional cigarettes.
  • Healthier Alternative: Though smokeless or electronic cigarettes will still have some amount of nicotine for providing the necessary fix, they will lack many of the other harmful chemicals and tar found in regular cigarettes. Some brands even use essential oils and herbs to help curb the desire to smoke thus providing them with a healthier option. 
  • Last Longer and More Economical: With taxes targeting tobacco increasing and the growing costs of consumer goods smoking can be quite an expensive habit not to mention the toll it takes on your health. You might be smoking up three to four cigarettes in your smoking break where as a smokeless cigarette might last you for around a week. Though these cigarettes might cost more per piece but in the long run they will be less expensive compared to regular ones as these smokeless ones will last longer.
  • Less Addictive: Just like nicotine patches, these smokeless or electronic cigarettes can be effectively used to help you wean away from cigarettes and eventually give up smoking altogether. These cigarettes are even available in herbal blends which contain no nicotine, thus helping to break the physical as well as chemical dependency on regular cigarettes.
  • Can be used in No Smoking Areas: Many businesses including restaurants and bars across the United States and even around the world have shut their doors on smokers mostly due to pressure from city and state authorities. However, you can still smoke these smokeless cigarettes in all such places where smoking is banned as it is a cleaner alternative. Also these cigarettes are cleaner and do not have the smoky smell associated with regular cigarettes.
