The electronic cigarette is the new way to smoke without tar, smoke, fire, or smell. You get all the flavor and satisfaction with electronic cigarettes but without the part that makes smoking so offensive to others and tough on the lungs. It's because electronic cigarettes (or electric or e-cigarette) are very similar to the function and taste of a traditional tobacco cigarette. The electronic cigarette works in the same fashion as it's tobacco based cousin except that it uses vapor with nicotine. There is no fire, no smell and no tar. Electronic cigarettes create water vapor from a liquid with nicotine. You can choose from 0 Mg of nicotine to 16 Mg in most brands. Sixteen Mg is about equal to the strongest unfiltered cigarettes. When the user inhales the nicotine vapor, it gives them the same taste and feel of a regular cigarette but doesn't contain all of the thousands of deadly chemicals that regular cigarettes do. There is no tar, and no carbon monoxide because there is nothing burnt as you smoke. One of the best features of electronic cigarettes is the fact that you can also use electric cigarettes almost anywhere. Since the smoking regulations only regulate the use of smoking products that contain tobacco, you are able to get your nicotine fix almost anywhere. Non smokers should not mind as there is no smell and no second hand smoke. You may never go outside in the cold to smoke again.
