If You Need a Cigarette, Electric Versions Can Help


Mark Twain said, “Quitting smoking is easy; I’ve done it hundreds of times.”  How many New Year’s resolutions have you broken?  How many times have you promised yourself or your loved ones that you would stop?  Though you want to, quitting is one of the hardest things to do.  It is hard on the body as you go through cravings, and it is harder on the mind as you become psychologically dependent on cigarettes.  Do patches and gum work?  For some.  But for others who need to have the tactile experience of smoking a cigarette, electric, smokeless versions can help.

Tobacco products contain thousands of harmful chemicals, as well as nicotine.  By itself, nicotine is not necessarily harmful.  It is, however, what makes cigarettes so addictive.  It is the many chemicals and carcinogens that cause a host of illnesses.  Electric cigarettes take out the chemicals, leaving only water, FDA-approved propylene glycol, nicotine, and a tobacco flavoring.  Instead of inhaling and exhaling a cloud of noxious smoke, you breathe in an odorless, harmless vapor, which itself dissipates within only seconds.  If you want to quit, this is a good way to get the experience of having a cigarette without the actual smoke and toxins.

Many people try to quit by switching from regular strength or unfiltered cigarettes to light or ultra-light versions.  The difference is that the manufacturer puts tiny holes in the filter to create more oxygen flow and less tar.  The problem with that, however, is when you hold the cigarette, you cover these holes.  You are not getting less tar, less nicotine, or fewer health risks.

E-cigarettes, on the other hand, are available with varying levels of nicotine.  If you are a heavy smoker, you may start with a nicotine level of 16 mg. Gradually, you can decrease that level. With your next set of refills, you can get 11 mg. After staying at that level for a while, you can decrease again to six. By this time, your physical dependence on cigarettes should be greatly reduced. If you still need the feeling of having a cigarette, you can get a very low nicotine level, 6 mg, or even an e-cigarette with no nicotine. Instead, e-cigarettes release a flavored vapor.

Quitting smoking is very much like dieting.  You may be very successful while you are in your home with distractions, like movies, music, or a punching bag.  You may be great at work.  But when you get together with your friends and go to a party or other place where others will be smoking, it is that much more difficult.  It’s like going to a big buffet when you’re trying to lose weight.  Our good intentions and good work go right out the window.  An e-cigarette is perfect for these situations.  Instead of lighting up, you take out your electric cigarette.  It is a healthier alternative that still allows the feeling of smoking.  And maybe you can inspire your friends to make the switQuitting smokingch as well.

Quitting doesn’t have to happen all at once.  Going cold turkey is tremendously difficult for most people.  Instead, an approach where you decrease your nicotine levels gradually will allow you to adjust so you don’t turn to food or bad moods to compensate.

is one of the best things that you can do for your health, your family, your appearance, and your wallet.  It doesn’t have to be torturous; you can do it.  It is a matter of choosing the right tools.  Electric cigarettes can help you make this time the time that you succeed.

Smokeless Cigarette: A Guide to Living a Better Life


There has been a huge turnaround in the perception of smoking:  fifty or sixty years ago, it was glamorous.  Beautiful people in beautiful movies lit up; doctors lit up in hospitals; passengers lit up on airplanes.  As the decades have passed, so too have a myriad of laws restricting smoking in public places, and then bars and restaurants.  And for good reason:  not only is tobacco smoke harmful for the smoker, it is damaging to anyone around him as well.  While many of today’s hottest celebrities, and even the President of the United States, smoke, it carries more of a stigma, not to mention health risks.  If you want to live a better, healthier life, the smokeless cigarette may be for you.

Smokeless, or electric, cigarettes are really a revolution for the smoker.  It provides the look, the feel, and the taste of tobacco cigarettes without the harmful side effects.  You no longer have to endure standing outside – in a designated smoking area that gets further and further away from the building – in subzero or tropical temperatures.  You no longer have to sneak away like a fugitive and come back smelling of smoke.  The yellow fingertips, stale breath, and smelly clothes will be in the past.  Your car, your home, and your body will be fresh and clean.

The benefits are many, but certainly the most important is that you will breathe easier. Not only are electric cigarettes less expensive, more complimentary to your appearance, and better for the people around you, they do contain the 4000 chemicals that traditional cigarettes do.  You do not breathe in benzene, arsenic, formaldehyde, and other poisons.  Instead, you inhale an odorless, harmless vapor.  How do you get started?  It’s remarkably easy.  The first step:  put down the match or lighter and pick up a better way of smoking.

E-cigarette kits are available to get you started.  A typical one may contain two “cigarettes,” which actually contain the battery.  When assembled with the e-liquid cartridge, it will look like a real cigarette.  Only better.  With e-cigarette providers like Premium E-Cigarette, you can choose your color.  From black to metallic to green, you can coordinate and have fun.

A number of refill cartridges are included.  These may come in a variety of flavors, including classic tobacco, mint, vanilla, cherry, chocolate, and coffee.  Each cartridge is good for about 250-300 puffs, the equivalent of several packs of cigarettes.  You can choose the right level of nicotine, which is a great feature for those who want to quit.  They can steadily decrease the level of nicotine.  The kit will also come with at least one battery, a wall charger, and a USB charger.

Choose the right nicotine level for your needs – the higher the number, the higher the nicotine content.  If you want to eventually quit smoking, gradually reduce your level.  This provides perhaps the most convenient and easy way to quit because you still have the tactile experience of having a cigarette, but without the cloud of smoke, coughing, and smell. And again, instead of carcinogens, you are breathing in water, nicotine, an FDA-approved compound called propylene glycol, and a scent to simulate tobacco.  That’s it: four ingredients as opposed to 4000 chemicals.

The glamorous image of smoking we had just a few generations is gone; we know the dangers of smoking, and we know we want a better, healthier life. Choosing an electric cigarette is a huge step in that direction.
