It is known fact that cigarette smoking can cause both short term and long term effects to our health; whether smoked directly or taken in from secondary smoke. Whether we are consumers of the product or not; we are continually bombarded with advertising campaigns plastered on massive billboards, or emblazoned over most if not all cigarette packets. Although, I am not a smoker myself; I do have some empathy for those who do smoke and battle to quit or cut down. No drug is easy to stop and smoking is one of the most difficult drugs to quit. However, it is not impossible and each year the industry creates new products that they feel is not only better for cigarette smokers but also help the environment with regard to the reduction of waste product.

The first known electronic cigarette burst into the industry in 1963, and since then; new and improved versions have come onto the market. Although,  it has been some time since they have become readily available to consumers. It is still not entirely known what the health implications may be. However, a vast amount of customers have found a number of benefits from using E-cigarettes with many people saving money and cutting down on their intake of nicotine as a whole.

There are thousands of e-cigarettes brands purchasable both online and in retail stores which provide consumers with information on their overall pros and cons. The Vype electronic cigarette is one such brand which takes care in offering as much information on the selling features of an electronic cigarette that main cigarettes do not offer.

So How Can Electronic Cigarettes Be An Alternative To Normal Tobacco Based Cigarettes?

1) Electronic Cigarettes Act As A ‘substitute’ For The Overall Experience Of Smoking Tobacco: As there is no tobacco present; there is no smoke which means that you don’t inhale smoke in the lungs. In some effect, this gives the body one less toxin to combat.

2) You Don’t Need A Lighter: How often have smokers asked other smokers for a light. Only to be left disappointed when they haven’t got one! With the electronic cigarettes there is no need to acquire one.

3) Nicotine Levels: Similar to if you purchase normal cigarettes you can buy them dependent on their strength. The electronic cigarette works in a similar way where you can purchase one with smaller cartridges which lowers your intake of nicotine overall.

4) If Bought In Bulk Can Save You Money:  on average, a smoker in the UK spends up to £35 per week on cigarettes which amounts to over thousands of pounds being wasted. This is indeed a crippling amount of money and many smokers have turned to electronic cigarettes as an option as they are now becoming more affordable and last longer than an average cigarette stick.

Smoking in all its forms is not good for your health but if you are struggling to wean yourself off from the real deal, the electronic version may be an alternative for you. If you are serious about reducing your cigarette in take and need more assistance. Do not hesitate in making an appointment at your local GP.
