The e-cigarettes promise the exact same feel of the real cigarettes in the smokers mouth and fingers but the are battery-operated and do not require the use of flames. They are ash-free, tar-free, and odor-free which is a solution to unpleasant cigarette odors that usually stick on clothes and other material around the room. E-cigarette kits and packages are sold with a variety of a hundred flavors. 

The electronic cigarette is as thin as the usual cigarette stick. The device is comprised of 3 parts – The battery chip, the mouthpiece or the nicotine cartridge and the atomizer that has a LED at the tip that serves as the light indicator when in use. The electronic cigarette is an electromagnetic device that has the ability of producing vapor with the aid of a heating element activited by a sensor after detecting air inhilation. 

In its mouthpiece is a flavored liquid, liquid nicotine and a substance called propylene glycol. Later on, propylene glycol combined with the liquid nicotine regularyl inhaled can cause harmful effects to the e-cigarette user. The Food and Drug Administration had ordered the entry of these devices to the USA. Even other countries like Australia discontinued the permission of the entry of the devices into their country and the market. 

The propylene glycol is a component found in hydraulics and should not be inhaled into the lungs. The chemical is found to damage cell membranes of the lungs and other organs of the body.

Smoking tobacco is an addictive habit that harms both ones physical and mental health. The tobacco cigarette, processed from the fresh leaves of plants in the genus Nicotiana, is combined with other additives in order to enhance the addictive potency or improve the effects of smoke by making it more palatable. The nicotine drug in tobacco gives a smoker a temporary high and at the same time, long-term negative health consequences.

When the public was made conscious about the dangers of smoking tobacco a few decades ago, crusades against smoking mushroomed all over the world. Smoking cessation products were then innovated and manufactured. Nicotine patches and gums became popular as nicotine addicts started using them to quit their habit. However, patches and gum miss the act of inhaling smoke from a cylindrical object and this became the big reason why smokers fail to quit.

Sometime in 2003, manna from heaven for smokers came – the safe cig. The electronic cigarette became popular in Europe sometime in 2006 and it eventually spread around the world.

The electronic cigarette is a battery-powered device that provides doses of nicotine by way of vaporized solution. The vapor provides a flavor and physical sensation similar to that of inhaled tobacco smoke. When the user inhales, a small light at the tip of the electronic cigarette glows orange to simulate a real cigarette. It is usually designed to take the form of real smoking products like tobacco cigarette, cigars and pipes and comes with replaceable and refillable parts.

The electronic cigarette or the safe cigarette makes it easy for smokers to stop smoking tobacco. Many smokers fail to quit due to withdrawal symptoms that they have to undergo during the process. Electronic cigarette provides a gradual process for smokers to quit as cartridges come in full, medium, light to none. They have the option to lower the level until they are no longer dependent to nicotine. With the range of nicotine strengths, it offers potential as a smoking cessation device.

The nicotine vapor that users inhale look like smoke without carcinogens found in tobacco smoke which are harmful to the smoker and others around him. The nicotine hit much quicker and emulates inhalation down to the smoke. The vapor emitted from an electronic cigarette is lighter than the smoke released from that of tobacco cigarette. Basically, you get the pleasure of smoking with the absence of negative health consequences.
