A very popular gadget is gaining momentum and it is called the electronic cigarette. There are a lot of different manufactures and distributors of the battery operated device that potentially offers alternatives to smoking the standard tobacco cig. Of course we are all well aware of the hazards of smoking tobacco but continue to puff away anyhow. Some blame the addiction to nicotine but I will be honest and will say I enjoy smoking, although not happy and very aware of the health problems that they have been proven to cause.

Today we have alternatives to smoking cigarettes with some silly products like the nicotine gum which taste like a minty moldy tree and a hideous patch to deliver a nicotine jolt. There are more products that will help you quit your addiction to cigarettes but none really offer an alternative to smoking except the electric cigarette. Now you can do more than simulate smoking, you can actually smoke, but without the smoke. Sounds strange doesn’t it? Basically a battery operated pen style ecig produces water vapor or fog that resembles tobacco smoke, it even taste and looks like it as I was amazed by this at the first puff. Skeptical was I, enlightened I became.
Electronic cigarette smoking uses a battery to engage an atomizer when you inhale to turn the liquid in the optional multi-flavored nicotine cartridge into a vapor that appears as smoke, it is thick and white and bellows out of your lungs as if you took a drag on a Marlboro or whatever your poison and there are many great companies selling the e-cigarette.
The electric cigarette has come under fire for containing “anti-freeze” but don’t be fooled! The ingredient they speak of is the nicotine diluted in propylene glycol or glycerin, both common food additives, read that again “common food additives”. Even still some companies are starting to use vegetable glycerin as a replacement additive rather than propylene glycol. The FDA just recently lost a court case blocking distribution of electronic cigs so it seems the balance of power is shifting and there is even the formation of the ecassoc (Electronic Cigarette Association).
So, if you want to try something new and not looking to quit there is an alternative to smoking with electronics cigarettes as they offer many flavors (tobacco, cherry, apple, etc), levels of nicotine, and styles available to suit even the most persnickety smoker.
You have been smoking cigarettes for years and are used to the habitual rituals that comes along with puffing, holding, dangling, and even the way you blow smoke has been part of the daily lifestyle and is a hard habit to break, believe me I know!
