Vapor Cigarette: Better Option for Consumers

By Debasmita Roy


It is proved that smoking have hazardous effects on the human body. Through medical research and studies the dangers of smoking were made known to us; improvements in treatment and rehabilitation have been popping up in the markets to improve the overall well being of a chain smoker.

It may sound ironic that other than the momentary sensation that please smokers, as opposed to the long term side effects that they may soon have to deal with, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight for them as far as calling it quits is concerning. A chain smoker may find it very hard to get rid of this dangerous habit due mainly to his addiction on nicotine which is the common material in tobacco that is used to produce cigarettes. Cigarette smoke once gulped lets nicotine pass immediately through the lungs, where it is absorbed and delivered into the body's bloodstream. This substance being a stimulant creates a feeling of pleasure. On the downside, it can also produce instinctive muscle twitches, rapid breathing, abdominal cramps and even depression to name a few.

Ultimately, the body being a flexible mechanism may be able to obtain a certain level of acceptance to this drug's effects. This may just be difficult because you'd have to continue that level of nicotine intoxication or else you have to face the often unpleasant and adverse withdrawal symptoms that are associated with the inhibition of any addictive drugs. Those are the main reason why consumers find it hard to quit.

It is therefore a work of creativity that Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik was able to come up with the electronic cigarette in 2003. The excellent idea is to arise with a gadget that really just imitates the act of smoking, or to look like smoking, but with less or no unfavorable effect on the body. The device releases a mist like vapor that resembles cigarette smoke by vaporizing a liquid solution using heat or ultrasonics in some cases.

The design generally has three main components namely, the mouthpiece, an atomizer and the battery unit. The mouthpiece usually houses the absorbent, sponge-like material where the liquid solution to be vaporized is stored. It is open on both ends and is designed to allow the mist to escape into the user's mouth when inhaled. The atomizer, as it is referred to in the industry, is the heating mechanism that vaporizes the liquid solution so mist can be produced. This has to be replaced periodically as the accompanying filament tends to burn out after a while though replacement time varies based on usage and manufacturing conditions. The last component is the battery unit which typically is the biggest component in any electronic cigarettes. The unit houses the logic board and the battery itself but for simplicity we'll just refer to it as the "battery'. They come with different charging options such as the regular A/C adapters, USB or even car chargers.

So go right ahead and look for an e-cigarette store near you. You'll never know as this may be the best option for you to be totally smoke-free for the rest of your life.
