An e-cigarette is a modern age substitute for
traditional cigarette/cigar and nicotine patches. It is smokeless and safer
than smoking tobacco. An electronic cigarette (or e-cigarette), personal
vaporizer (PV), electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) is an electronic
vaporizer. Electronic cigarette is a new electronic nicotine-delivery system that looks like a
real cigarette but delivers nicotine without any smoke.It
stimulates and substitutes for smoking tobacco. The first electronic cigarette
was patented in 1963 a device described as “a smokeless non-tobacco cigarette”.
With its introduction to the U.S. market in 2007, it offers the
nicotine-addicted an alternative to tobacco smoking. Electronic cigarette
offers the nicotine-addicted an alternative to smoking tobacco. Most “e-cigarettes” are similar in appearance
with the regular cigarettes. The main difference between the two is that the
e-cigarette does not contain tobacco. It has a mechanism that heats up liquid
nicotine, which turns into vapor that smokers inhale and exhale.
Electronic cigarette resembles the traditional
tobacco cigarette but the composition differs. The component of e-cigarette
includes e-liquid, a cartridge, an atomizer and a power source. The cartridge
serves as a both an e-liquid reservoir and mouthpiece. It allows the passage of
liquid into the atomizer and vapor from the atomizer to the user's mouth. When liquid is finished, users can
refill the cartridge or replace it with another ready-filled cartridge. The
atomizer consists of a heating element responsible for vaporizing liquid, as well
as a wicking material that draws liquid in. "Dripping" atomizer
from the fluid reservoir. The source of power in electronic cigarette is a
rechargeable battery. Some models use a power button that must be held during
operation while others use electronic air flow sensor which is simply triggered
by drawing breath
through the device. The e-liquid solution is sold in a bottle
or in pre-filled disposable cartridges. The e-liquid solution are manufactured
with various tobaccos and the content of nicotine differs.
The e-cigarette is gaining popularity among the youths. As the
e-cigarette is smokeless it is more suitable for smoking in the public place.
Switching to electronic cigarette has become a new life style. With no tobacco
and tar ingredients it is safer. As to what role e-cigarette play in anti
smoking efforts is still unanswered. The benefits and risks of e-cigarette is
not known.
As far as general concern it’s obviously safe for the smoker as well as
people around him (passive smokers). It is now that you have to decide and step
towards your better health and for the better health of your society.
