Win Back Your Life With The Electronic Cigarette

At one time or another, any person who smokes will truthfully admit that smoking is detrimental to your health. Over the years, numerous studies have shown that smoking is essentially damaging to both the active and passive smokers and this is the reason why non-smoking sections have been introduced to protect the public from the harmful smoke emitted by smokers.

These studies make us aware of how the smoke from cigarettes actually affects our health by exposing us to respiratory and cardiac problems, which may in some cases, eventually lead to death. In this light, most public places like hospitals, shopping malls, airports, offices, nightclubs etc. do not allow you to smoke in or around their premises.

By switching to the electronic cigarette, you are not a victim of the non-smoking laws, as electronic cigarettes do not burn or emit smoke. They look and feel like a normal cigarette, but they are not. They do not emit the harmful smoke which can cause cancer and annoyance to those around you. In fact, apart from the inhaled nicotine, there are no poisonous and harmful toxins and this can be a very positive sign for your long-term health.

You have the freedom to smoke anywhere you want to. Your life is no longer dictated by looking for 'safe' places to light up. You are no longer frowned upon by your family and peers as what you are doing is better than smoking tobacco cigarettes and the bad odor that once accompanied you is no longer existent.

The level of nicotine inhaled can also be controlled, which gives one the freedom to quit when one wants to by gradually reducing the dependence on nicotine.

A very important factor to consider when switching to electronic cigarettes is the fact that it can save the person a lot of money in the long run - over 75%. You will have more disposable income available to you as a result.

Since the electronic cigarette or 'e-cig' as it is sometimes known as, was introduced into the US roughly 5 years ago, statistics show that today 1 in 20 of those people that smoke are using electronic cigarettes.

The main form of marketing is in the 'grass-roots' level when people who are beginning to smoke these devices in bars, malls, pubs and restaurants, are being curiously watched and questioned by smokers, who then make their own inquiries and eventually end up purchasing.

In the beginning of March a hospital in Tampa, Florida made a decision to allow the use of electronic cigarettes within their hospital. This is not the first hospital that has allowed this to happen. Shops are springing up in malls all over the country selling them.

A few months ago in a landmark case, a Federal Judge - Richard J. Leon ruled “in the public interest” that the FDA had no authority in blocking the importation of e-cigs. This was a major victory for the industry as the judge said that "electronic cigarettes are substantially likely to succeed on their merits and are likely to suffer irreparable harm if the FDA continues to exert its authority over them".

The growth in popularity is not surprising due to the health and economic benefits that are associated with the device. The most noticeable benefits are:

• There are none of the 4,000 or so poisonous toxins and carcinogens inhaled into the body or emitted into the atmosphere.
• The level of nicotine inhaled can be controlled so that you can gradually reduce your nicotine dependence and eventually quit smoking altogether.
• There is no burning of any substances, so the risk of fire is completely removed.
• They are cheaper than the traditional tobacco cigarettes by at least 75%.
