When I first heard about The Electronic Cigarette my initial response was that this was a novelty item that wasn't to be taken seriously. But upon closer examination I realized that this is a clever gadget that has the capability of revolutionizing the way in which people smoke forever.

What precisely is an electronic cigarette? Here is a description of what it is, the way it works and how it can potentially benefit you or someone you love.

The e-cigarette is a battery powered gadget that looks, handles, tastes, and functions like a cigarette... but it's not a genuine cigarette! It even discharges nicotine, but without the damaging smoke, tar and chemicals linked with real tobacco smoke. The nicotine is breathed in via an unpolluted unscented mist.

An electronic cigarette is typically made up of three components:

1. Atomizer
2. Battery
3. Nicotine Cartridge

NOTE: A number of of the newer models combine the atomizer and nicotine cartridges into a single throwaway unit. The benefit of this is that you'll continually have a unpolluted atomizer, instead of a single atomizer that can become clogged and less efficient over time. A fresh atomizer will insure that you get the maximum volume of vapor on each gasp, contributing to a more satisfactory smoking experience.

Let's review what each part does:

1. Atomizer. This heats up and vaporizes a concoction of liquid nicotine. The sensation of inhaling this vapor is very comparable to real cigarette smoke, but without the same health risks. It even has a warm feel to it, which adds to a convincing experience. The vapor generates a haze that looks like smoke, but is really just a mist that quickly disperses.

2. Battery. Nothing too complicated here, just a rechargeable battery that provides voltage to the atomizer. It is fashioned to look like the body of a real cigarette. The lifespan of batteries varies from model to model, which depends on the number of mouth puffs. Customarily you will get 150 - 400 puffs, before having to recharge the battery.

3. Nicotine cartridge. These cartridges consist of a water/nicotine solution. A single cartridge is typically the equivalent of 1 - 1.5 packs of tobacco cigarettes. Specific nicotine strengths are available in high, low, or medium. A good number of manufacturers also provide a wide assortment of flavors ranging from traditional tobacco flavor, menthol, vanilla, chocolate and fruit flavors.

The electric cigarette is surprisingly comparable to the real thing, but without the same health risks. There is no lasting offensive odor. It's also a whole lot less expensive than other popular quit smoking aids. This combined with the reality that you can make use of it anywhere makes e-smoking a reasonable and healthier choice, one that merit consideration it either for yourself or a loved one.
