10 Indisputable Reasons To Switch To E Cigarettes

Switching from real cigarettes to electronic cigarettes will change your life. Here are 10 indisputable reasons to switch to e cigarettes, and I also have listed up Pros and Cons of using them.

1: No Nasty Tar

The liquid contains nicotine, but not tar – tar as a tobacco residue is the cause of lung cancer, not the nicotine. In fact tobacco includes hundreds of toxins and 70 of them cause cancer. While e-cigarette liquid is also made up with chemicals, it will prevent you from the greater risk of getting the horrendous disease and will no longer blacken your lungs.

2: No Nasty Smell

I personally like the smell of tobacco smoke, especially cigar’s. Most smokers would probably agree – although they might not “love it”. The bad part is the stale smell attached to your clothes, hair, fingers and of course breath. You won’t have the with e-cigarettes.

3: Save Money!

A bottle of e-liquid costs you around £3 – £4 and it lasts for a few months (depending how often you smoke). I would smoke it throughout the day (i.e. bad) and a bottle of liquid lasts for a month. The “Starter Kit” is around £25. Think about 100 Marlboro – it’s much cheaper!

4: No More “Nicotine Stain”

What we call “nicotine stain” – actually a “tar stain” – you won’t have not just your teeth and fingers, you’ll no longer have yellow ceilings & sticky curtains (if you’ve been smoking indoors), and your car interior if you’ve been smoking while driving. Potentially you’ll save money when you try to sell your car. A smoker’s car is valued lower.

5: Better Teeth

Tobacco affects the attachment of bone and soft tissue inside your mouth, which can lead to gum disease. And the smoke will interfere the blood flow to the gums, means more susceptible to infections and slows down the wound healing process. With e-cigarettes (and cleaning your teeth, of course) no more tooth loss.

6: You’ll Only Go Outide To Get Some “Real” Fresh Air

You don’t have to go out in the rain or shivering cold weather to smoke (And you know how ridiculous that is!)

7: E-Cigarettes Are Handy

Even in the restricted areas such as work place, you can quickly hide to inhale nicotine, because there’s no smelly smoke. With the odourless vapour, you can use it in the toilet. Quick fix in the corridor, lift, under your desk! (seriously I’m doing it)

8: No More Passive Smoking

You can smoke an e-cigarette in the car without worrying about your passengers (beware of the traffic!) Smoke at the dinner table while others are still eating… “May I smoke?” Ehhh, no!

9: You Can Still Maintain Your Figure

Nicotine reduces your appetite. A lot of people who quit smoking would start to put on weight. This can be avoided – not necessarily a good thing in health aspects of course, but you know what I mean. You won’t get fat.

10: More Environmentally Friendly

We all know millions of cigarette butts on the streets – unless you live in Singapore or Japan – smokers just chuck the butts on the ground. Those filters don’t decompose in the nature but keep leaching toxins, killing wildlife. Whilst e-cigarettes including the battery are recyclable.

Now what’s the disadvantage of using e-cigarettes? Are there any?

I can think of three.

1: Inhalation of Chemicals

Not as bad as real cigarettes, but you are still inhaling chemical toxins contained in the e-juice.

2: Potentially More Nicotine

I used to smoke about 5 cigarettes a day. If I smoked one, I wouldn’t need another one for the next 2-3 hours. You light up a cigarette and keep smoking a few minutes and stub it out. Whereas with an e-cigarette, there’s no stopping. As long as the battery lasts, you could keep inhaling continuously ALL DAY (you’d probably get sick). Personally I think I’m taking more nicotine now than I used to, and I’m aware I will need to control it.

3: You Need To Get Used To The Flavour

There are hundreds of different flavours available, including “Tobacco” “Turkish blend” “Cuban cigar” “Marlboro”, “Menthol”…. You need to try several and find the best one for your taste, and yet it may not taste as good as real cigarettes. You WILL get used to it, but it may take time.

But this is just like when you start to smoke cigarettes in different brand, e.g. you’d been smoking Benson & Hedges and changed it to Marlboro, Marlboro would taste awful. But soon you’d get used to it. Switching it to an e-cigarette is just as the same experience.

If  you are adventurous you can really try all sorts such as “Tiramisu” flavour, “Mango Cheesecake” (how ridiculous…! Since they are liquid juices, you can mix them up and make your own flavour…”Mango Tiramisu Cheesecake”)

Switch To E Cigarettes – Conclusion

Smoking e-cigarettes is not the perfect solution, but there are so many advantages to your health, environment and finance. So I’d recommend it to all the existing cigarette smokers. E-cigarettes exist to help smokers eventually quit, so if they help you stop smoking completely, it will be great.
