Comparison Between E-cigarettes and Regular Cigarettes

By Shibalik Sanyal


An electronic cigarette frequently referred to as an e-cigarette or smokeless cigarette is a small device typically intended to appear as the normal traditional cigarette. Electronic cigarettes mimic the actual cigarettes both in their physical feature as well as their ability to deliver nicotine content. These cigarettes are intended to help the cigarettes users to break their habit. The fundamental idea is to minimize the amount of nicotine burning up by having different nicotine strength cartridges. The water vapor produced is harmless and blown out just as a normal cigarette smoke.

According to the study of US Department of Health and Human Services, the traditional cigarette consists of chemicals such as carbon monoxide, acetic acid, ammonia and caffeine which are very unhealthy when addicted. On the other hand, the e- cigarette consists of propylene glycol, extract flavoring and nicotine. Other than helping to quit smoking, the other benefit offered by the e-cigarette is that they can be used anywhere including the private places such as air planes and restaurants. This enables the long flight smokers to calm their nicotine cravings and allow them to enjoy puffing. Electronic cigarette usage means that you are free from smelly hair, or clothes and you require not hiding whenever you feel like taking a puff.

The major dissimilarity between the electronic cigarette and the normal cigarette is that the e-cigarette produces no smoke compared to the actual and is therefore not injurious to the public. Having the same features and taste as normal cigarettes, the electronic cigarettes function in a different way. For instance they do not really burn any tobacco, but instead, during the inhalation of e-cigarette a flow censor that releases a kind of a nicotine water vapor is usually activated. This vapor as well as the nicotine also contains propylene as well as an odor that simulates the essence of the real tobacco. The e-cigarettes can help you satisfy your nicotine craving without resulting to any cancer source causes that are so common with the real traditional cigarettes like the glue, hydrocarbons and tar.

The e- cigarettes are much helpful compared to the actual cigarettes in terms of the financial aspect. This is for the cause that purchasing a set of say five nicotine cartridges would cost you approximately $8 which is equivalent to purchasing around 500 normal cigarettes. Although users may earn a lot of costs in purchasing the electronic cigarette kit, they at long run save a lot of money. There are however a large number of Chinese imitations of the electronic cigarettes which might seem very cheap available currently in the market. These imitations are charged half the normal price of the branded electronic cigarettes and look like the actual electronic cigarettes. It is therefore important to consult or keenly examine before purchasing the e-cigarette.

The traditional cigarette on the other hand is very harmful to one's health. This is because of its contents which include; glue, hydrocarbons and tar. Excessive consumption of the traditional cigarette often results to ailments such as lung cancer, mouth ulcers and throat cancer.
