It is often said that smoking cigarettes is one of the hardest habits to give up. With the nicotine addiction, the oral fixation and the social attachments to smoking, many people find it almost impossible, physically and mentally, to let go. Nicotine patches, nicotine gum, hypnosis, etc. are all designed to put as much distance between smokers and their habit as possible. However, there may be another way.

Electronic cigarettes are a nicotine delivery system designed to be an alternative to more toxic tobacco cigarettes. The basic design and function are simple. The electronic cigarette is a cylinder consisting of a nicotine cartridge, a heating unit called an atomizer and a rechargeable battery powered circuitry unit. The system basically works by having the battery powered atomizer heat liquid nicotine and convert it into a water vapor which is inhaled and exhaled by the user.

The electronic cigarette itself is often designed to look just like a regular cigarette, and apart from not lighting them, they are smoked just like tobacco cigarettes. Using electronic cigarettes drastically reduces health related risks caused by smoking tobacco due to complete elimination of the tar, carbon monoxide and other toxins either inherent in tobacco itself or added to it as part of processing. There are still concerns about the use of nicotine which is a vasoconstrictor (restricts blood flow in the veins) and has been linked to heart disease. However, electronic cigarettes are a much better, much more healthful alternative to tobacco cigarettes whether you plan on eliminating smoking altogether or not.
