Pros

Here is a video from the tv-show “The Doctors” that give a little bit of an understanding of why the electric cigarettes are preferred to be used rather than the actual cigarettes themselves,



The doctor mentions that the dangers of cigarettes is really from the thousands of additional chemicals that are found within a cigarettes that are the primary cause of cancers caused from smoking. There are only a few chemicals in cigarettes that are identified that are very harmful to the human body and the other thousands of chemicals are unknown.

Other noticeable pros for electric cigarettes are the odours, less coughing, no breathing problems, and no headaches. When smoking an electronic cigarettes whether it is a cartomizer or an atomizer, the odour that a smoker acquires from the actual cigarettes is not found in an e-cigarette smoker. The odours from electric cigarettes are flavoured and do not stick to the user. When a smoker substitutes cigarettes with the electronic cigarettes, the user will start coughing less if not stop coughing from smoking in general. The user will clear all the mucus caused from smoking regular cigarettes as if he stopped smoking when the user decides to substitute the cigarettes with electronic cigarettes. The user’s throat will act as if he or she quit smoking and the headaches that a smoker gets from smoking will be dramatically be reduced if not removed all together.

Electronic cigarettes also introduced an act of smoking without smoking the cigarettes that encourage help regular cigarette smokers to quit smoking. The patches and smoke-free gums have failed to motivate smokers into quitting smoking since they did not appeal to the act of smoking which in most cases is the most important aspect to help smokers quit smoking. The act of inhaling and exhaling and holding a cigarette is what the smokers need to quit smoking since those are part of the addictions of the smoking habits.

My father who is a heavy smoker tried the patches and gums that contain nicotine to quit smoking but he could not last longer than a few days without the act of smoking. The act of smoking from what I have noticed myself through my own experience and from witnessing the experience of my family and friends is what the smoker needs to continue in order to quit smoking. Even though the electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, the nicotine percentage is much lower than the regular cigarettes. Some may argue having an electronic cigarette may make the user smoke more often than he or she used to, the reality is even the highest percentage of nicotine given in some electronic cigarettes is still quarter the amount a cigarette contains not to mention the thousands of chemicals in regular cigarettes that an electronic cigarette does not contain.
