Stop smoking with electronic cigarettes

December 9th, 2009 by life4hire

I’m a heavy smoker and I have admitted it a couple of times now in the public. I tried many things to quit smoking but seems like everything I tried didn’t paid off yet or simply put, still not working. I don’t know why it’s really hard to quit smoking when I can control the urge of smoking when I’m fasting but seems like every other time when I’m not fasting, I will still buy cigarettes and smoke them. Maybe I need to be really broke and can’t afford to buy a pack of cigarettes to stop smoking.

Recently, a friend of mine introduced me to an electronic cigarette. An electronic cigarette is like a normal cigarette that you smoke everyday but it uses a rechargeable battery to power it. Basically an electronic cigarette has two main parts which are rechargeable lithium batteries and disposable flavor cartridges. The flavor cartridges will be providing you with the flavor that you want, usually the normal or the menthol flavor. Each cartridge equals to 1.25 packs of cigarettes which means you can use a cartridge for around 25 times of smoking before you need to change it with a new one. That also depends on how often you smoke and how long each time you’re smoking. This is just a rough figure. The cartridge contains nicotine, water, flavorings and propylene glycol.

When smoking electronic cigarettes, they don’t produce smokes but only water mist from vaporized water in the cartridges. Apart from that, they don’t produce any tar which is damaging to your lung and the source of all smoking related health problems. So what are the benefits of smoking electronic cigarette? Well, apart from the healthy lungs, you will not contribute to pollutions, save more money than buying expensive cigarettes and with many testimonials including a friend of mine, he confessed that he smokes less and less every day after using electronic cigarette. Now he’s completely stopped smoking. Maybe I need to try this and see if it helps me solve my smoking problem.
