Despite knowing smoking tobacco cigarettes is bad for health, a significant lot of people, around the globe, are addicted to cigarette smoking and also face serious difficulties in quitting the habit. Smoking tobacco causes damage to nearly every organ of the human body, which is the reason why, it is important that people need to give up on smoking tobacco now.
In an attempt to quit tobacco cigarette, a lot of people have tried e-cigarettes. In the following section we have delved a bit deeper into the concept of e-cigarettes to reveal some lesser known facts about them. Let’s take a look.

 E-cigarettes

Electronic Cigarettes, or more commonly known as e-cigarettes, were first invented in China. These cigarettes have an appearance similar to regular tobacco cigarettes, but are tobacco free. E-cigs are nothing but vaporizers that have a mechanism to heat up the liquid present inside, instead of burning tobacco. Due to the heat generated, the liquid turns into vapor that is ultimately vaped. While it is a fact that e-cig vapors are not as harmful to health as traditional cigarette smoke, there are a few facts that you must be aware of before taking up e-cigs.

Nothing to Burn

Unlike traditional tobacco cigarettes, e-cigarettes have nothing to burn; hence, the fear of misplacing your lighter or matches is absolutely non-existent. E-cigs operate with the help of lithium battery and contain a vaporization chamber, along with a cartridge that is filled with liquid. You need to puff the e-cig just like a normal cigarette and the battery enables the device to heat the liquid that results in the formation of vapors. Since tobacco isn’t burned inside an e-cig, you don’t have to worry about smoke, odor, carbon monoxide or other harmful effects that come along with conventional cigarettes.

Liquid Nicotine


Though, e-cigs are smoke and tobacco free, they are not nicotine-free. It is because the liquid inside e-cigarettes is usually made-up of a combination of nicotine, flavors (like bubble gum or watermelon), a solvent (propylene glycol), and other additives. However, the quantity of nicotine depends on the mixture of the liquid-nicotine cartridge that is installed in the device. Apart from this, you can get cartridges with flavored liquid, minus nicotine. E-cigs are ideal for people who want to experience the hit of a regular cigarette but the fear of causing damage to their lungs.
Reusable with Maintenance

Since e-cigarettes are battery-powered, they can be used without any issues, as long as you keep them charged. Though this makes e-cigs reusable; their maintenance and usability depends on the type being used. These days, e-cigs come with USB chargers too, so that you can keep them charged and usable even while on the go. Besides the rechargeable battery, liquid cartridges also need to be refilled or replaced regularly, either by replenishing an empty one or inserting a new cartridge altogether, to reuse the device.

Bottom Line


These are some facts of e-cigarette that will help you to judge whether you want to start vaping on an e-cig or not. However, if you are trying to quit smoking tobacco cigarette and want to stay away from its harmful effects, e-cigarettes can prove to be a very helpful alternative.
