The E-Cigarette (also known as e-cig, electronic cigarette and electric cigarette) is the healthier alternative to the traditional cigarette.
Mad as it sounds, it literally allows you to smoke without smoking. Rather than toxic smoke, you breathe in vapourised nicotine.
Amazingly, the e-cigarette looks, feels and functions exactly like a real cigarette so you get all the enjoyment of smoking without all the toxic smoke!
Since it does not contain any tobacco, you are free to smoke it anywhere you want, smoking ban or not!

How E-Cigarettes work
The e-cigarette is divided up into three main parts:
Atomizing device - When the electronic cigarette is inhaled, this heats up the liquid nicotine turning it into a harmless nicotine vapour.
Battery - This powers the electronic cigarette. Each rechargeable battery lasts for 2 - 3 days and you get two batteries including a power adaptor for charging them.
Refill cartridge - This contains the liquid nicotine which is turned into nicotine vapour, giving you that instant hit. Once the vapour runs out, you simply replace the cartridge. Each cartridge is equal to approximately 15 cigarettes meaning you can get 15 cigarettes for under 1 pound! The electronic cigarette comes with 10 catridges equal to around 150 cigarettes.
Are E-cigarettes safe?
Tobacco cigarettes actually contain alot of highly harmful substances even long-term smokers don't know about. According to the Cancer Research UK site, among the 4000 harmful chemicals in tobacco cigarettes, some of them are:
Ammonia (Toilet Cleaner) - It is used as a flavouring and helps free the nicotine from tobacco and turning it into a gas. Helps you absorb more nicotine, keeping you hooked. Found in dry cleaning fluids.
Benzene (Pesticide/Petrol Additive) - This is a colourless cyclic hydrocarbon which is obtained from coal and petroleum, used as a solvent in fuel and chemical manufacture. It is contained in cigarette smoke. Known to be highly carcinogenic and linked to leukaemia.
Acetone (Nail Polish Remover) - Fragrant volatile liquid ketone which is used as a solvent, for example in nail polish remover. It is found in cigarette smoke.
Formaldehyde (Embalming Fluid) - A colourless highly poisonous liquid, used to preserve dead bodies - also found in cigarette smoke. Known to cause a severe problems such as cancer, respiratory, skin and gastrointestinal problems.
Tar (Roads) - Particulate matter drawn into lungs when you inhale on a lighted cigarette. Once this is inhaled, smoke condenses and about 70 per cent of the tar in the smoke is deposited in the smoker's lungs.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - A group of dangerous DNA-damaging chemicals which set cells on the road to becoming tumors.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) (Car Exhaust Fumes) - An odourless, tasteless and poisonous gas, rapidly fatal in large amounts - it's the same gas that comes out of car exhausts and is the main gas in cigarette smoke and formed when the cigarette is lit.
Lead (Paint) - A dense metal with many industrial uses such as paint. Highly toxic, it stunts your growth, makes you vomit and damages your brain.
Arsenic (rat poison)
Hydrogen Cyanide (gas chamber poison)
In 2008, toxological tests were performed on electronic cigarettes and they were found to be much less harmful than the tobacco cigarettes. Further scientific tests in 2009 have shown them to be safe.
Electronic cigarettes are rechargeable and refillable so you'll save a fortune in the long run. You can use the e-cigarettes to smoke in areas with a smoking ban.
There is no flame, no tobacco and no nasty carcinogens so you can smoke without harming others around you, and places where smoking is banned.
Disclaimer:The e-cigarette is not a cure for a smokers addiction to nicotine, the e-cigarette serves the same purpose as a tobacco cigarette and by it's very design is intended to deliver its user nicotine. If you do suffer from Tobacco or Nicotine Dependence and wish to take steps to quit smoking or cut down on the number of cigarettes you currently smoke, we recommend you consult your GP.
