Helps You Quit Smoking

There is wide spread awareness about the dangers of smoking all over the world, but many people find it hard to quit tobacco smoking. In the last few years, many innovative cessation products such as nicotine patches and gum have come up in the market to help people get rid of tobacco habit.


Electronic cigarettes are the latest product, the most innovative gift to those determined to quit tobacco smoking. Also known as electric cigarettes and e-cigarettes electronic cigarettes look and feel exactly like real tobacco cigarettes. Users of electronic cigarettes inhale nicotine vapor that resembles smoke but contains no carcinogens which are present in tobacco smoke and are hazardous for smoker as well as those around. They simply emit artificial smoke.

How it works?
An electronic cigarette is made of a nicotine cartridge filled with nicotine liquid. A tiny battery powered atomizer converts a small quantity of nicotine liquid into vapor. Inhaled nicotine vapor provides nicotine hit to the user within seconds. As the user inhales vapor, a small LED light bulb at the cigarette's tip glows orange stimulating a real cigarette.

The nicotine cartridges are available in full, half and minimal strengths. Different strengths are designed for people who decide to quit smoking. After getting used to electronic cigarette smoking, they can gradually reduce nicotine strength from full to minimal until they quit.

Stop Smoking Cigarette E-Cigarrettes, smoke wherever you want and it's healthier

Advantages
Electronic cigarettes are superior to nicotine gum or patches as they provide nicotine hit much quicker and give the satisfaction of inhaling smoke from a cigarette like device.

Electronic cigarettes are also more economical in cost than tobacco cigarettes. Except for the initial cost of electronic cigarette kit, a set of 5 nicotine cartridges will provide you the taste of 500 cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes are going to be the next thing replacing real cigarettes everywhere.
