Electronic Cigarettes Trump Tobacco

As an alternative to their traditional counterparts, electronic cigarettes have numerous benefits.

Essentially, electric cigarettes, as they are sometimes known, are battery-powered faux cigarettes that deliver nicotine without the need for combustion.  The scientific evidence that has piled up over the decades with regards to the negative side effects of cigarettes is very compelling.  As such, long term smokers are justifiably looking for an alternative that has fewer health implications.  Here is where e-smoking comes in.


Just by the act of smoking a substance you are damaging your lungs and putting yourself at risk to numerous diseases.  The electronic cigarette on the other hand, delivers a steady dose of nicotine without burning.   In addition, e-cigarettes don’t contain the dangerous chemicals that are routinely found in regular cigarettes.  Chemicals like benzene and cyanide are highly deadly, in fact some of the deadliest substances on the planet, but found in almost all cigarette brands.  By turning to e-smokes you limit your exposure to these dangerous chemicals.


While the initial cost of e-cigarettes may seem high, the long term benefits certainly justify the extra expense.  Plus, your new cigarettes can be refilled with nicotine cartridges which are much cheaper than tobacco alternatives.
