As a smoker, you’ve probably tried to kick the habit of smoking cigarettes at least once. For many of us, we have tried many times, only to fall back into the pattern of smoking. I know from personal experience how hard it can be to quit, but you don’t have to take my word for it.
Many studies have shown that quitting cigarettes/nicotine, can be more difficult that trying to drop addictions to alcohol, heroin, and cocaine. In fact, as many as 70% of the smokers that attempt to quit, go right back to smoking in less than a month. Quitting smoking cigarettes is difficult because you have to quit the habit on both a psychological and physical level.
Cigarette smokers will usually struggle with the mental and emotional hurtles when first trying to quit. Once you’ve been able to break your habit of smoking, you will start to experience some physical effects as your body goes through withdrawal from the lack of nicotine. Some where along this time line, about 70% of smokers go out and buy another pack.
There are many nicotine products out there, like nicotine patches and Nicorette gum. That attempt to give the user small doses of nicotine through out the day, that help curb the physical withdrawal one would experience when trying to quit smoking. These products work for some people, but for others, it just doesn’t satisfy the cravings. But electronic cigarettes (E-cigs) are a new safer alternative to smoking cigarettes, and many people are using electronic cigarettes to quit smoking.
Electronic Cigarettes look, feel, and taste just like a real cigarette, but instead of smoking by burning tobacco and tars, E-cigarettes are simply a vapor, and don’t actually produce any smoke at all. As you could imagine, it is way healthier for you.
Electronic cigarettes simulate every part of smoking a cigarette. While physical and emotional effects are extremely hard to deal with when quitting, but smoking is also a simple matter of habit. Many smokers enjoy the actual act of holding a cigarette and inhaling something. The smokeless vapor produced by electronic cigarettes allows you to do this, with out most of the harmful tars and chemicals added to your traditional tobacco cigarette.
You will be breathing and smelling better, your teeth will no longer appear stained, and you’ll be saving a lot of money by using the simple eliquid refill cartridges for E-cigarettes, rather than paying $4-$10 for a pack of cigarettes.
Obviously not all smokers will be able to quit with the help of electronic cigarettes. There is not one solution for everyone, which is why there are so many methods of quitting smoking, but for some, electronic cigarettes are the best solution. Even if you don’t fully quit, you’ll be happy to know you are satisfying your nicotine habit in a much safer way.
