The electronic cigarette is a real alternative to traditional cigarettes for smokers.  This clever Chinese invention was developed and patented in 2004 by a company called Ruyan.  The inventor was looking for a smoking alternative for his father who had lung cancer, and came up with this great product which is now a worldwide phenomenon.

The e cigarette consists of a small lithium battery which powers an atomiser to produce vapour from a small refill cartridge that is enclosed inside the cigarette.  The e cigarette looks and feels very much like a real cigarette and the vapour produced when the smoker inhales gives the sensation of smoking (including the much required throat hit) that smokers crave.  The refill cartridges are filled with an e liquid that contains propylene glycol (dry ice), nicotine, colourings and flavourings but none of the harmful chemicals associated with traditional cigarettes.  And of course, there is no tar.

There are many alternatives to smoking on the market today; everything from patches to nicotine gum.  However, every alternative works on the basis that nicotine replacement is all that the smoker needs to be able to stop smoking.  The truth is that this is not the case.

For example, smoking is a very social thing.  Many smokers get pleasure out of smoking when drinking, or after a meal.  The electronic cigarette can be used as an exact replacement for this and will not offend people around the smoker with the smell and effects of passive smoke.  The smoker doesn't feel as if they are missing out on, what is to them, a pleasurable experience.  The fact that electronic cigarettes can be smoked legally anywhere makes them very popular with people who enjoy social smoking.

There is also the physical crutch of having a cigarette in your mouth and drawing on the cigarette and exhaling the smoke.  The e cigarette gives a very life-like alternative to this.  Whilst the electronic cigarette still delivers the nicotine craved by the smoker, it also fulfils the other physical actions and cravings associated with smoking.

The other thing that a smoker misses by using other alternatives is the throat hit.  The e cigarette gives this hit much in the same way that real smoke does.

A smoker can also regulate their nicotine intake using the electronic cigarette.  Refill cartridges are available in High, Medium, Low and Zero nicotine strengths.  This gives the smoker the option of smoking with lower nicotine levels but with all of the physical benefits of using an electronic cigarette.  Many e cig customers use Zero nicotine strength refills so that they still have the physical feel of a cigarette without any nicotine intake at all.
