The electronic cigarette or eCigarette, whatever you like to call it, makes use of technology. It’s like a mobile phone you can smoke, only you can’t call or text with it, neither can you do anything with it that you can do with a phone. It was a joke ok. The basic functionality of all eCigarette products is quite the same.

There are several electronic components in a stainless steel tube, which might also be plastic for other brands, but I’m not sure.

At the left you can see can see a little light, which lights up when you suck smoke from the eCigarette. Next to it there’s the battery, which can be recharged when it’s empty. In the middle you see the control circuit, pneumatic switch and the vaporizer. When you inhale, the pneumatic switch responds and activates the control circuit, which in turn activates the vaporizer that atomizes the liquid in the cartridge and the light at the right. When you stop inhaling, the pneumatic switch turns off, as well as the light and the vaporizer. At the right you can see the cartridge with the inhaler directly connected to it. You probably think how in the world can you activate the pneumatic switch with all stuff that comes before it? This is made possible by an air flow channel that runs along the tube.

Many people have complained about the difficulty of inhaling smoke through the inhaler. Most inhalers are designed in a way they simulate the real smoking experience. The E-CIG product makes this easier, so you don’t need to inhale with a lot of force.

A Safe Cigarette or Safe Smoking Alternative? The eCigarette | E-Cigarette | Electronic Cigarette

There’s a lot of debate on whether there can be a safe smoking alternative with the experience of smoking a cigarette. In a way, this question is the same as asking if there are clean fuel alternatives for fossil fuels. Both of these questions have the same answer, namely yes. The problem is - which might sound cliché - that tobacco and oil companies are all about money and power, which raises the following question: “What is their agenda?” You can answer that question perfectly I take.

Progress is inevitable, and that also goes for smoking. Even though nontoxic or less damageable solutions to smoking might seem odd at first, they are present and becoming more common every day.

The electronic Cigarette or eCigarette

A recent development has brought forth the electronic cigarette, also called the eCigarette. It is designed in a way that it simulates a real smoking experience by creating a water based vapor containing nicotine, propylene glycol (to make the vapor look like smoke) and a tobacco flavor (not actual tobacco). This product comes in many shapes, sizes and colors. Available are also cigars and pipes that work on this concept.

Nicotine in itself is not a carcinogen (cancer producing substance), unlike most of the chemicals in real cigarettes, although nicotine can be damageable if consumed in to large quantities. This is often a big misunderstanding. A few of the worst carcinogens found in real cigarettes are tar, ammonia, carbon monoxide and arsenic, together with a couple dozen of other dangerous substances.

The electronic cigarette is just a small device sometimes even looking like a real cigarette. It contains a battery that can be recharged. The electronic cigarette contains a cartridge, which can be replaced when it empty. One cartridge is equal to 1 or 2 packets of cigarettes depending on the brand.

A couple of other benefits of the electronic cigarette are:

· No odors, so you can virtually smoke everywhere without bothering a single person.

· No second hand smoking for people around you.

· It’s cheaper than real cigarettes.

· An electronic cigarette is also a great solution if you want to stop smoking. Cartridges come in different nicotine levels, from 16mg to 0mg.

So, can this be called a safe smoking alternative? Yes. Does it satisfy your smoking needs? That is up to you to find out. Opinions differ on this matter.
