E Cigs have been around for a couple of years now, and they are already in the hands of millions of consumers, who were once addicted smokers. Although e cigarettes aren't considered a smoking cessation device, they have been a much better alternative to their past old traditional death sticks. Unlike traditional cigs, electronic cigarettes don't produce tar, don't contain harsh poisonous chemicals, don't produce smoke and they don't even smell! What an electronic cigarette does is it heats up pure liquid nicotine, in the strength and flavor of your choice, and turns it into vapor. So, in reality, what your doing is not smoking, it is vaporizing. The reason these smokeless cigs have taken so much beating by critics is simply because these electric devices look, feel and even taste like the real thing! But the truth is, they are in a different league compared to traditional cigarettes, and are even be in a league of their own.
What league is that? That league is the invention of a new smoke, a new method of supplying ones does of nicotine in the safest way possible. Electronic cigarettes does what a cigarette can do, the feel, the taste, the smoke, just in such a way that it isn't killing you! Tobacco companies can even claim sometimes that their products are safe, and that there is not proof that traditional cigarettes harm people but these are lies and the evidence is outstanding that traditional cigarettes are harmful. What these big tobacco companies do best is trade cigarettes for lives. At least with electronic cigarettes, one can have the same appearance and sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette but instead doing it in such a way that does not hand over your life and money to these tobacco companies. Quitting smoking is very important and although e cigarettes aren't smoking cessation devices, they even have different levels of liquid nicotine ranging from high, medium, low to none, allowing the possibility, still with hard determination, for one to lose their dependance on cigarettes. Vapor is the new smoke and soon traditional cigarettes will be put out, while the new league of e cigarettes begin to 'light up'.

Smokeless Cigarettes-How I Quit Smoking
It has been over 3 months since I’ve been cigarette free, and that’s a big accomplishment for me especially since I have been hooked to these death sticks for over 10 years. It was a daily routine, buy a pack of my favorite cigarettes, smoke a couple on every possible break I had until at the end of the day, to realize I used up a whole pack. Cigarettes have been a very big part of my life, and not a good part.
After finally starting to worry about my health, and fearing that I might get the big “C” disease, I decided I had to stop. I had become a father and once I did every cigarette I smoke I did so in fear, that I may not be there for my wife and kids as long as I would like to. That is when I learned about electronic cigarettes. The way e cigarettes work is that they have a battery, a heating tool (the atomizer) and a liquid nicotine filled cartridge mouth piece. The battery powers the atomizer which in turn heats up the liquid nicotine and turns it into vapor.
Electronic cigarettes seemed to be a plausible route to turn to rather than sticking with my old white death sticks. First of all, vapor e cigs don’t have over 4,000 chemicals like traditional cigarettes do. In fact, the liquid nicotine in e cigarettes is pure nicotine with a few other ingredients. On top of this, most of the companies selling these smokeless cigarettes give you the option to choose from different levels of nicotine, from high, medium, low to none allowing for a gradual release from your nicotine addiction. I had finally decided to try an e cigarette, and ever since, I’ve been off my old traditional smokes. I’m already using low liquid nicotine cartridges and almost completely off my dependance on nicotine. I’ve been feeling so much better now that I’ve been vaping, rather than smoking. No combustion, no tar, no harsh chemicals. For me it was a win, and I’m glad I decided to try this new vapor cig out.

E Cigarette Safety
Many have concerns whether or not the safety of electronic cigarettes is something to worry about. Despite the health hazards of traditional cigarettes being well known, if one were to switch from a hazardous traditional cigarette they probably wouldn’t want to switch to another type of cigarette, electronic, which is also hazardous to ones health. Electronic cigarettes use a battery, atomizer (the heating tool) and liquid nicotine. When one inhales through the mouth filter piece the battery powers the atomizer which as a result heats the liquid nicotine into vapor allowing you to ‘vaporize’.
The concerns are quite evident now, and that is the quality and safety of the liquid nicotine that you breath in. Most companies use imported liquid e juice from China that is made with cheap quality liquids that can be harmful to ones health. Nicotine in itself is an addictive substance however the addicted smoker can gradually lower their addiction to nicotine because electronic cigarette usually give you the option to choose nicotine levels from high, medium, low and none. Although research is still being conducted and whether or not this new vapor cig is safe or not, we do know that e cigarettes don’t have 4000 chemicals like traditional cigarettes do, they don’t function as a result of combustion and they don’t produce any tar. Nicotine in itself, however, being the addictive substance that it is, poses its own health concerns. For example, nicotine is known to speed up your heart beat rate and can even restrict blood flow. Despite this, some medical experts state that nicotine in its purest form is safe and even good for you. For the addicted smoker, it seems that electronic cigarettes would definitely be a better alternative than smoking traditional cigarettes.
