Undoubtedly electronic cigarette is continually gaining popularity.  The word is spreading from celebrities we see using their e cigarette or talking about it, from friends and relatives, advertisements etc.  What’s all the hype about?  What exactly is an electronic cigarette?

An electronic cigarette simulates smoking a real cigarette so effectively that life-long smokers can switch without experiencing horrible cravings and symptoms of withdrawal from addiction.  Basically an e cigarette is a cigarette shaped tube containing a rechargeable battery, an atomizer, a small reservoir, sensors and a light on the tip.  The sensor detects that you are taking a drag and turns on the atomizer, which instantaneously heats up the substances in the reservoir into a stream of visible water vapour that mimics the taste and feel of tobacco smoke.  The electronic cigarette’s tip even glows like the end of a lit cigarette with each drag.  It is infused with the taste of tobacco or almost any flavor you can think of (menthol, apple, banana, coffee, chocolate…) and nicotine in various degrees from none to 24mg.  Each e cigarette cartridge that looks like the butt of a cigarette is equivalent to about the same number of drags as a pack of cigarettes, at a fraction of the cost.

Electronic cigarette has evolved and there are various models that come in the colours of the rainbow.  The weight/thickness/length of the e cigarette battery determine the battery life.  The bigger the battery, the longer the electronic cigarette lasts before recharging.  As technology advances, we will see even more variety.  This revolutionary invention of electronic cigarette can be used almost anytime, anywhere.  E cigarettes truly are amazing.
