The Nicotine Factor

An electronic cigarette has a cartridge based operation system. When you buy an electronic cigarette, you have to decide which cartridges you would like to use. The cartridge is where the nicotine is stored and comes in variable strengths, including strong, light and if you wish, zero nicotine.

Sure, you can buy tobacco cigarettes in varying strengths but you are still getting all the toxins from the tobacco itself. An e cig contains no tobacco, so when you are choosing your cartridge strength, it really is a matter of just the nicotine.

So, theoretically, a smoker could use the varying strengths in the nicotine cartridges to gradually reduce the amount of nicotine intake. This may offer a great oppurtunity to actually have a go at quitting smoking altogether whilst continuing with the physical, habitual motions of the addiction. Is it possible, that this may be a much less stressful way of trying to quit?

Some smokers, just want to be able to continue the physical habits of smoking, such as holding a cigarette and the oral fixation of having a cigarette in the mouth. All this is possible with the e cig and as we have seen above, it could be a much healthier alternative to smoking regular cigarettes.

Thanks to the electronic cigarette cartridges , it appears the that e cig has just won another round over its tobacco conterpart, although there are several rounds remaining for a fightback! The score so far? Electronic Cigarette, two – Tobacco Cigarette, zero. Tune in for the next episode soon!
