How do these new electronic cigarettes work? Well that is pretty simple. The electronic cigarette comes with a cartridge with liquid nicotine inside, an atomizer, and a battery. The atomizer chamber heats up pretty quickly and turns the nicotine into a vapor you breathe in. Do not worry though, it is not like breathing in boiling steam, the vapor is cool and the device does not burn your hands.
You can feel the nicotine almost immediately after taking a drag, some say faster than a tobacco based cigarette.
Even better, an electronic cigarette looks, feels, and tastes like a real cigarette. An led light means that the tip glows red while you are taking a drag as well.
As to the safety and legal concerns surrounding electronic cigarettes, there is some debate. The media is doing a horrible job of sorting fact from fiction. While electronic cigarettes are available online and in mall kiosks, the FDA has not approved them, nor do they endorse them. They are not considered smoking sensation devices, but are sold as alternatives to cigarettes. No research has made any claim that they are unsafe. Some European countries have deemed electronic cigarettes to be a benifit to the public, so opinions will vary.
The battery charges using a charger similar to the one you plug your cell phone into, and many starter kits come with two batteries so you can bring both charged on a long outing, or you can charge one battery while you are using the other to smoke.The cartridges come in regular, medium, and low strengths and some offer no nicotine cartridges so that you can recreate smoking without any of the harmful effects.
Many smokers are just as addicted to the ritual of smoking and the breathing out smoke as they are the nicotine in the cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes recreate the whole process of smoking save for the lighting a match or lighter part.While there are those opposing electronic cigarettes, those who use them seem to be true converts when they find how much easier it is to light up.
There are electronic cigarettes in a number of shapes, colors, and flavors. Some electronic cigarettes resemble pens, and others look like a regular cigarette. The flavors are almost unlimited. They range from tobacco flavors, menthol, mint, chocolate, and fruit flavors. New flavors are developed as time goes by, expanding your options. The cartridges also have different levels of nicotine in them. There are regular strength, mediums, and lights as well as cartridges that have no nicotine at all.
