What is a Smoke Free (Electronic) Cigarette?

Electronic Cigarette in useMany people, when hearing about the electronic cigarette for the first time, react with a combination of humor and disbelief. Yes, it’s hard to imagine die-hard smokers trading their tobacco cigarettes for a battery-operated alternative. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening, day after day, as smokers discover how close today’s smoke-free cigarettes can replicate the experience of the real thing. Truth be told, the e-cigarette is far more than a novelty item; it has the potential to forever change the way people smoke.

So what, exactly, is an electronic cigarette? Well, the short answer is that it’s a battery-powered device that looks, feels, tastes, and closely mimics the experience of a traditional tobacco cigarette. If desired, it can even provide nicotine — without the harmful smoke, tar, and toxic chemicals found in real tobacco smoke.

The electronic cigarette is typically composed of three parts: the atomizer, the battery, and the nicotine/flavor cartridge. Newer (and better) models have now combined the atomizer and cartridge components in order to solve the problem of clogged, worn out, and poorly functioning atomizers, thereby providing a fresh atomizer with every new cartridge (they are replaced after usage that is approximately the equivalent of 20-30 regular cigarettes).

A variety of different electronic cigarette looksThat may be enough info for some people. However, if you are interested in the inner workings of the e-cig, feel free to read on for a more in-depth explanation of each component.

  • Atomizer. The atomizer heats up and vaporizes the e-cigarette liquid (comprised of water, flavoring, and nicotine if desired). Inhaling this vapor provides a sensation very similar to that of real cigarette smoke, but without all the health risks associated with tobacco smoke. The inhaled vapor also produces a cloud that has the appearance of cigarette smoke, but is actually a mist that dissipates in seconds and does not leave behind any lingering odor.
  • Battery. This is a lightweight, rechargeable battery that’s shaped to mimic the appearance of a cigarette, and powers the atomizer. Like any rechargeable battery, these wear out and need to be replaced occasionally, when they begin to lose their ability to hold a charge.
  • Flavor/Nicotine cartridge. Electronic cigarette cartridges contain a liquid mixture of water, flavoring, and — if desired — varying concentrations of nicotine. Each cartridge is designed to last the equivalent of a pack to a pack-and-a-half of regular cigarettes. Nicotine, if desired, can be specified in levels of high, medium, and low, with “none” also being an option. Most manufacturers also offer a selection of tobacco flavors, from traditional tobacco and menthol, to vanilla, chocolate, and even a variety of fruit flavors.

In summary, electronic cigarettes are quickly becoming an alternative to traditional tobacco smoking that is being embraced by more and more cigarette smokers. Since they do not produce real smoke, they are acceptable for use in most public places where smoking is prohibited. They also leave behind no lingering smell or odor in the air, on your clothes or hair, or in your car, so they is not offensive to non-smokers. Combine all these factors with the greatly reduced health risks compared to regular cigarettes, and it seems like we have a real winner!
