When I
first saw somebody using the e cigarette, I thought, what the point of
pretending that you smoke is? Then I thought that this may be a good idea to
help heavy smokers to quit their nasty habit. But does the e cigarette really
work?
First of
all we have to say that the e cigarette is an electronic device that imitates
the form of a regular cigarette and it is loaded with a nicotine cartridge,
this nicotine is heating up and then inhaled by smokers as vapor. The market offers
it as a safe alternative to cigarettes; the product is not thought to help
smokers with their nicotine habit. You are just changing one addiction for
another.
According
to the study carried out by psychologist Thomas Eissenberg, e cigarettes have
the same amount of nicotine that a normal cigarette has; moreover, the product
does not help smokers to reduce cigarette cravings.
To sum up,
the difference between an e cigarette and a normal cigarette is that, you don’t
have to consume all the extra substances that regular cigarettes have, such as
rat poison, benzene, acetone, ammonia and others.
Taking into account that you will
still being a nicotine addict; would you like to try this new “fashion
accessory” or you will keep smoking the old cigarette with all its harmful substances?
