An alternative to smoking: the benefits of electronic cigarettes

It’s a subject that affects most of our lives in some way or another. Whether you are a current smoker or have family or friends who smoke, we are all aware of the associated health risks that come with the habit.

The unfortunate reality faced by many smokers however, is that in our increasingly hectic and busy lives, the difficulty and stress of simply kicking the habit is just another thing to worry about, another inconvenient obstacle to navigate.

We are bombarded by warnings almost daily on television and even cigarette packets and yet many of us continue to smoke.

The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only will smoking eventually affect your health, it could also cause great damage to relationships, your work life, and perhaps most importantly, family.

Enough on the negatives, luckily there is an alternative to smoking that could just be the answer you’ve been looking for if you are a current smoker. If you haven’t used an electronic cigarette before, chances are you will have witnessed somebody using one, whether in a bar, at the bus stop, or simply walking down the street.

Starting with the obvious health benefits, an e-cig doesn’t burn tobacco, meaning you only inhale a vapour containing nicotine and none of the tar or other cancer-causing chemicals found in traditional cigarettes. This action not only provides a satisfying nicotine ‘hit’ for the user, but also satisfies the social element of smoking and the associated physical action of smoking a cigarette.

Aside from the health benefits, there are economic benefits too! As an example, Intellicig’s disposable electronic cigarettes are currently priced at £2.49, they  are the equivalent of around 35 traditional cigarettes, you don’t need to do any maths to realise the extent of what you could soon be saving!

Intellicig are great because they offer a whole range of e-cigs from great value rechargeable starter kits to the higher end and aesthetically pleasing XL Pro models, all of which use only the purest e-liquid on the market, ECOpure.

This brings me onto another amazing benefit of making the switch, electronic cigarettes while they do give off a vapour very similar in appearance to tobacco smoke, it is in fact virtually odour free. This means no more cleaning the whole house to get rid of the smell, and no more unsightly yellow stains on teeth and fingernails.

It appears then that there is finally an alternative to smoking worth trying, without wasting money on expensive products. It could therefore be argued that the rapid growth of electronic cigarette use is owed to the effectiveness of this nifty little device for conveniently satisfying your cravings and saving you money.
