Electronic Cigarettes VS Tobacco

By Kyle Newton

Tobacco cigarettes are one of our the leading causes of preventable death in this country and throughout the world. Over 400,000 people are killed each year in America alone from tobacco use every single year. The American Cancer Society says that cigarette deaths top alcohol, car crash, suicide, homicide, AIDS, and illegal drug related deaths combined. Fortunately research and technology has provided us with a safter alternative for our nicotine addiction. Simulating the feel of cigarettes as well as the process of smoking, electronic cigarettes do not contain tobacco or the poisonous chemicals found in normal cigarettes.

The electronic cigarette is made to replicate the experience of smoking a tobacco based cigarette. Electronic cigarettes have a nicotine cartridge, and when you take a big drag of the device, a battery powered atomizor vaporizes the nicotine with some water vapor and you breath it in. Within a few seconds, the nicotine hits your system, killing cravings. When you exhale, water vapor drifts into the air with the look of cigarette smoke and none of the yucky smell. There is an led light at the end of the electronic cigarette that lights up when you take a drag adding to that authentic cigarette look and feel. There are imitation of Camel and Marlboro out there and smokers can find whatever taste they are looking for. There are even menthol flavors along with chocolate, vanilla, peach, and other fruits.

While your electronic cigarette will give you a good hit of nicotine, there is no tobacco in them and there are thousands of chemicals in tobacco cigarettes that are absent in electronic cigarettes. While no one should really smoke at all, electronic cigarettes are a much safer way to take care of the habit. Smokers are not only addicted to the nicotine in electronic cigarettes, but also the habit of smoking and socializing with other smokers. Electronic cigarettes allows smokers to get their nicotine fix without tar, carbon monoxide, and ammonia that are found in cigarettes with tobacco, cutting the harmful effects way down.

Electronic cigarette users also get the full feeling of inhaling and exhaling smoke without the dangers, smells, and bans involved with cigarettes. Cigarettes are banned in public buildings in America, but since electronic cigarettes have no tobacco and no combustion, many people find they get right around that pesky ban. The foul smell in tobacco cigarettes lingers in clothing, in your mouth, and on your furniture. Electronic cigarettes produce no odor at all and cannot harm people who are around you when you use them.
