5 things that will shock you about electronic cigarette
“Electronic cigarette? really?” This was my first expression when I came across the word in an issue of The Times magazine. I was quite intrigued when I found out that the electronic cigarette was invented in the early 1960s but its economic production was not until almost a decade ego. This unique product has taken the world by storm given there is an estimated 4 million users in the United States alone and estimated to reach a billion by the end of 2014! Any economist would agree that this type of growth is nothing short of the term “exponential growth.” One wonders what these electronic cigarettes also known as e-cigarettes offer that is turning so many analogue cigarette loyalists and neutrals alike to this new trendy habit. Today I share with you 5 facts as to why electronic cigarette has come to stay.
1. No fire needed. This above all else is one of the most compelling factors as to why the use of electronic cigarette has gone viral. The notion of not needing a lighter or match stick makes life easier for the user since he no longer needs to carry lighters but most importantly no smoke comes out. This means one can smoke in the “No smoking” coded areas. If this is not genius I don’t know what is.
2. No tobacco contained. The electronic cigarette contains liquid nicotine harvested from tobacco leaves. Without the inhaling of burned tobacco, scientists have noted that this could reduce a user’s risk of lung infections by over 60%. Recent research carried out on the leading three electronic cigarette brands showed that they contain nine times less toxics than the conventional cigarettes.
3. Assorted flavours. You will agree with me that routine makes life boring. To this effect most craved delicacies or items now come in numerous flavours or colours just to spice up life for the user. This can be seen in car types, Pringles, cakes and yes even condoms. The manufacturers of electronic cigarette have been able to produce their products in numerous shapes and flavours. Imagine the feeling of smoking bubble gum, chocolate, cinnamon or even lemon cigarettes? The new electronic cigarette is just legendary!
4. Cost effective. In life it’s all about the money, believe it or not everything we do has an element of money attached to it. People are very sensitive about costs, the electronic cigarette totally aces its analogue cigarette counterpart in this round too. Quantitative research carried out showed that an average smoker would spend $1000 annually if he smoked one cigarette pack per day yet an electronic cigarette user would only spend $600 and that would only be on batteries. I am certain you would jump at any chance of getting better products that help you save 400 bucks any day!
5. More tidy. I can bet that at one point either in your life or the movies you have seen people who have to move from their work environment or location of liking just to take a smoke. This could have had to move to an alley behind the building or to the rest rooms. Electronic cigarette solve this issue too. Without an actual fire burning, there will be no smoke and even more importantly no ashes. This means one can smoke without fear of dropping ashes or starting fires. Now you can smoke in planes, in forests and yes even in bed.
Whoever said there is no smoke without fire must have never heard of an electronic cigarette.
