Here you’ll find all you need to know about the great new invention that is the e-cigarette or rather,  the electronic cigarette.

What is the e-cigarette?

The e-cigarette is being advertised by many companies as the alternative to smoking.  While I wouldn't go that far, it is basically an electronic device which contains nicotine.  It is shaped and designed to look like a real cigarette and carries within it a capsule of liquid nicotine.  Whenever the user inhales on the device, a small atomiser heats up a tiny quantity of liquid nicotine and turns it into vapour.  The vapour is then inhaled by the user which gives him/her the nicotine hit found in real cigarettes.

Many people say that the reason this works is because while there are other methods of delivering nicotine into the body, a large part of nicotine addiction is actually down to the psychological feeling of holding something in the hands and inhaling on it.  So the e-cigarette completes this illusion by looking like a real cigarette, even down to the burning ember at the tip - this is achieved by lighting up a glowing light everytime the user inhales.  The e-cigarette really does look like a real cigarette!

One thing many people say is that the e-cigarette simply does not taste the same as a normal cigarette.  This is true, however fans of the device say that it does take some getting used to, with the added benefits of:

Legally being able to smoke it in areas where "smoking" is banned

- Yes really!  The smoking bans which have popped up in many places now only cover any tobacco containing product.  The e-cigarette does not actually contain any tobacco, so it skirts round this ban quite easily.  In fact many celebrities have been seen using this device.

Saving of plenty of £££ every year

- Pound for pound, the e-cigarette is cheaper than a normal tobacco cigarette.  Each e-cigarette contains on average the same nicotine and "puff" equivalent of 50 cigarettes.  That's something like two packs worth contained in one tiny little capsule. Check out the price comparison.

Faster nicotine absorption

- Because the nicotine is in vapour form without all the associated impurities of tobacco smoke, it is much more readily absorbed into the bloodstream.  This means that on average, it is absorbed 10x more quickly than tobacco smoke, giving users that "hit" much quicker and calming cravings faster.

These are just some of the benefits of e-cigarettes.  This site will be showcasing various brands and products so stay tuned for more!
