A Smoker's Alternative Revolution - E Cigarette Reviews


by Kelly Greenacre

With current society trends towards a healthier lifestyle, the stigma of smoking has reached an all time high. Many smokers have found themselves falling off the smoke free wagon repeatedly, and going back to their smoking habits after a few days, weeks or months of being smoke free. But smoking is not a cheap habit to maintain, and with the added health risks of smokers compared to non smokers, a solution had to follow. With increased popularity and trends hitting the market, e cigarette reviews were soon sure to follow.

The electronic cigarettes are not a recent addition to the smoking alternative market, but they are beginning to become more and more popular, and as people become more aware of them, a higher number of individuals are turning to them as an alternative to traditional smoking. The benefits are almost immediately obvious, and as they come more into focus, they increase exponentially.

The price for a starter pack, depending on the brand and the contents can very from twenty dollars to eighty. For brands which use cartridges, each cartridge is equal to two packs of cigarettes. A pack of five cartridges is equal to roughly a carton. Cartons sell for upwards of fifty dollars for name brands, so if the average smoker switches from a name brand cigarette to a cartridge based e-cigarette and smoke a carton a week, they are saving thirty dollars a week, right off the bat. Types and prices of e-cigarettes vary and a product can be found for any smoking habit or taste. Some brands carry flavors - not just menthol or regular, but a variety of flavors to suit any taste.

The health benefits are almost immediate as well. Many people who have transitioned from smoking regular cigarettes to e-cigarettes have consistently reported that lung function and capacity has improved, which means no more shortness of breath from climbing a fight of stairs. Some start to feel better even after a couple of days.

Aside from cost, the biggest and most obvious benefit to the e-cigarette is convenience. Smokers are now able to smoke anywhere. They can be smoked indoors, in businesses, at bars, at your desk at work, without having to leave to go on a smoke break. At the same time, and conversely, since the e-cigarette looks and feels like actually smoking, the psychological difficulties of quitting are abated. Smokers can still enjoy going outside for a smoke, can enjoy putting something to their lips, inhaling smoke and seeing the puff of smoke upon exhaling - without any of the risks of smoking a traditional cigarette.

Finally, with the use of an e-cigarette, the risk of second-hand smoke is completely eliminated. Smokers can feel free to smoke around co-workers, friends and family without putting their health - or comfort - at risk. It is virtually odorless, so there is no lingering scent to stick to clothing, hair, upholstery or lingering throughout the home.

While e-cigarettes have not been fully evaluated as a quitting aid, their adherence to the pattern and habits of smokers gives them a huge advantage over traditional solutions like gum, lozenges or patches. By being able to continue the pattern of smoking without any of the health risks, they are proving to be an effective alternative to smoking, if not a way to quit entirely.
