Compare : Tobacco Cigarette and electronic Cigarette

By Debasmita Roy


The practice of tobacco smoking began as in the early hours of the ancient society and before the coming of Christ, mostly as a religious offering thru rituals, and later on was consumed for satisfaction or as a social interaction tool. While the components was met with criticisms, it became popular. Today, we are more conscious how smoking can cause havoc harm on our health. More or less all people know that aside from heart disease, tobacco smoking can cause cancer and emphysema, and that it will undoubtedly cut down our lives by around ten years or more. Additionally, the sum of money spent by smokers on such habit can cost thousand of dollars per year.

Studies have exposed that people start smoking for various reasons. Some of them smoke because their friends and family members smoke. It is also quite shocking that tobacco users start even before they reach the age of 18 simply because they feel it looks cool. However, of course, almost all of them never expected that in, the long run they will become addicted to smoke.

Tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive, and that is the reason why smoking as a habit is very hard to break. Same as in the case of heroin and other addictive drugs, the mind and body can quickly become so used to the nicotine content of cigarettes that a smoker needs to have it just to feel normal. Loss of appetite and weight loss are the basic manifestations of diseases acquired thru tobacco smoking, and before you know it, smoker's cough signals that your lungs are already in danger.

Smoking cessation, or simply "quitting" depends on different ways, such as nicotine replacement therapy, anti-depressants, hypnosis, self help and support groups from family and friends only adds up to a little number of "quitters." Government investigated that imposing higher taxes on cigarettes has not considerably reduced the smoking population.

Electronic cigarettes are the best alternative to smoking. E-cigarettes as the name implies, is an electrical gadget that simulates the actual smoking process. It looks like a real cigarette, with the same taste and the feel of the physical sensation being experienced by a tobacco smoker. It also saves you a considerable amount of money since it is way cheaper by as much as 70% than traditional cigarettes. It emits no carbon monoxide, so one can use it anywhere without posing any danger to others' wellness. Its vapor like smoke is totally harmless yet it feels the same as tobacco smoking. Luckily, over usage will not be a problem with e-cigarettes, since it comes with an auto shut off configuration. It will not compromise your health and will definitely save your life.

Electronic cigarette are the better solution for smokers that have tried to break free of the habit, but failed again and again. Environmental advocates have been approving electronic cigarettes since there are no cigarette butts to dispose of, and therefore much less remains to pollute the earth. Another minor but positively a welcome motivation is the fact that e-cigarettes don't generate any residual ash so there's no need for an ashtray.
