The electronic cigarette versus the traditional one

Old habits die hard they say, and in the case of smokers, giving up cigarettes is a difficult task, if not impossible. The electronic cigarette is considered by some a good way to give up this vice. But is it or isn’t it dangerous for your body? Some are also thinking about the financial aspect, as the e-cig will save you a lot of money in the long run. But, as is the case with every subject, there are mixed opinions, but one thing is for sure: you must research and know everything you can about electronic cigarettes before deciding to use them.

The principle of the thing

The electronic cigarette is an electronic device that assures o dose of nicotine through the evaporation of a special solution. This solution has the same taste as a normal cigarette and the feeling you get is similar to the one you have when smoking a traditional one, says an article on HubPages.

Are there any dangers?

The electronic cigarette market has developed incredibly since the e-cig first appeared on the market and now there are several flavors from which to choose from, like chocolate and vanilla. The active substance in this product doesn’t have any damaging effects on the lungs, having a low chemical content, say the specialists.

What you must know though, is that this product contains nicotine. The danger and the addiction in the case of smoking doesn’t come from nicotine so much as from the burning through which dangerous chemical substances that affect the lungs are released. The specialists state that in a normal cigarette 4.000 such substances exist, and more than 50 of them favor the apparition of lung cancer.

The electronic cigarette on the other hand, doesn’t involve any burning process, so the inhalation of dangerous substances for the lungs doesn’t exist.

Some effects of the traditional cigarette

The smell of the normal cigarette is disturbing because sometimes not only your clothes and your hair are impregnated with this smell, but also your breath. Passive smoking is dangerous exactly for this reason, of cigarette smoke inhalation, harmful for the lungs’ health.
