Electronic Cigarettes Helping Us Quit Smoking

By Gareth Jale


An e-cigarette is also known as an electronic cigarette and these types of electronics produce and inhaled mist that gives off the feel and taste of a conventional cigarette. Even though electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, they do not carry any of the other added harmful ingrediants such as tar. Using an electronic cigarette properly can eliminate the urge to smoke, and help you quit smoking for good.

Electronic cigarettes use a cartridge of nicotine solution and an atomizer to help imitate the act of smoking a cigarette. The mouth piece of the electronic cigarette also functions as a cartridge that holds a liquid solution that contains nicotine. E-cigarette atomizers will then heat and vaporize the liquid so that a mist is produced and then exhaled just like regular smoke from a conventional cigarette. This is the same process that is used by a nebulizer or a humidifier. The vaporized liquid makes it easy for the nicotine to enter your body and also giving the user that feeling if actually smoking a cigarette.

The liquid that is in the cartridge is propylene glycol based, and is often called e-juice. These liquids are offered in many different strengths and flavors. There are several different flavors other than traditional tobacco. There is also flavors like coffee, chocolate and even vanilla available. If you really look around you can even find some nicotine cartridges that imitate popular cigarette brands like Marlboro and Camel.

The true way to stop smoking comes from the varying strengths of the nicotine solutions. This solution comes in small amounts of nicotine to large amounts. The small doses start at 6 mg of nicotine and go all the way up to cartridges containing 36 mg of nicotine. Smoking the large amounts of nicotine will be just like smoking a real cigarette, but this amount can be lowered over time. If you also use nicotine patches then you will stop smoking a lot faster.

The way nicotine patches work is that they gradually lower the nicotine levels that enter the person's body. Slowly lowering the amount of nicotine allows for them to get use to the new amount nicotine that they are ingesting. The process is continued until the person does not need nicotine in their system anymore. The one problem with nicotine patches is that people start to miss the act of smoking. Many times you get hooked on the actions of the habit and that's where many people do not know what to do without a cigarette break.

The best way to quit smoking with ecigarettes is to use it just like a nicotine patch. Start out with a cartridge that contains an appropriate amount of nicotine and start to gradually lower this amount over time. After a few months purchase a cartridge with less the amount of nicotine. You continue this process until nicotine is no longer craved. This method has been proven to work a lot better than other quit smoking methods because the person still gets to smoke and smoking is something they have always done.
