The Electronic Cigarette is a device that replicates the functions of a real cigarette without actual smoking. While smoking E-cigarettes you breathe in vaporises nicotine rather than toxic smoke that contains harmful chemicals such as tar, carbon monoxide, and arsenic.

It gives you real pleasure of smoking like your real cigarette and can be used anywhere as it does not contain toxic smoke. The E-cigarette is made up of three components and they are: Battery, an alternate to long white tabacoo part of a real cigarette, Atomiser to screw onto the battery to vaporize the liquid and Cartridge that looks like the filter.

The functionality of the Electric cigarette is very simple. It uses a cartridge that is filled with flavoured propylene glycol liquid. It is powered by a battery. Batteries can be recharged from a wall outlet or even via the USB port on your computer. When the user puffs the device, the device automatically switches on as the air flow is detected by a sensor switch and the Led light on just like burning. The atomizer injects little droplets of the liquid into the following air when it is activated by micro processor and vaporizes the liquid. Let us discuss about all the prevailing myths about Electric cigarettes:

•           It is said that electric cigarette encourages the kids to smoke. However this is not correct it targets the audience which is above 18 or legal age. All the precautions and statutory warning has been published on the cigarettes as it is found in case of tobacco cigarette. Moreover the price of electric is not into the reach of small kids. However it is cheaper as compare with conventional cigarette.

•           It is said that the taste of electric cigarette is flavoured purposely for teenagers. The electric cigarette is available in different flavours. So it is targeted for a teenager is absolutely baseless myth. 

•           The other myth about E-cigarette is that it makes nicotine more accessible to non-smokers. This myth is not based on truth as its target audience are those who already smoke and it does not encourage smoking in any way. As nicotine is widely available in other forms like gum, lozenges and other over the counter products.

•           It will be wrong to say that the ingredients of electronic cigarettes are unknown. The results of e-cigarette have been made public since it was first introduced in China.

•           Some people say that e-cigarettes are a quit smoking aid, however it is a healthier alternate to those who cannot quit traditional way of smoking.

So even after trying hard if you could not quit smoking, then try electric cigarette which will give you pleasure of smoking, without inhaling harmful substances like of traditional way of smoking.
