E-smoking to kick a nicotine addiction
Holly Jackson | Aug 08, 2008
The E-Cigarette's manufacturer claims it will help smokers quit.
While it has the appearance of a cigarette--albeit a stainless steel one--the gadget is loaded with nicotine cartridges, a different concept than the e-cigar, which uses liquid cartridges to produce the flavored vapor without the nicotine and smoke. The five atomized cartridges in the E-Cigarette contain high-purity liquid nicotine, and each cartridge has the lifespan of about 30 cigarettes.
The cigarette is sold with five cartridges ranging in levels from one-sixth the nicotine content of a normal cigarette to none at all. Based on nicotine replacement therapy, smokers can use the E-Cigarette to slowly wean themselves off the nicotine cartridges, ideally ending with the nicotine-free insert.
The gadget comes with a lithium ion battery and charger.
The smoking device is managed by a microchip and powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The tip of the E-Cigarette glows with an LED light that will blink rapidly to warn smokers they have taken too many inhales in one minute.
The device is sold for about US$26, and if the average price of a 20-cigarette pack is around US$5, the gadget could be a low-cost option for smokers trying to quit. A similar product by Ruyan runs for more than US$100.
Chinavasion's discount E-Cigarette and charger might fit in a purse or a pocket, but when a stressful day strikes, a dead E-Cigarette could push a smoker to visit the local convenience store instead.

Drug addiction maintenance programs are generally more successful at retaining abusers with drug dependence than other therapeutic communities, which in turn are mot effective than non-residential treatment programs that gives psychoanalysis and counseling. Also, those that offer additional services, such as intervention, counseling, treatment, and therapeutic care generally shows superior outcome than the programs that give nominal services.

Former smokers tell me that using e-cigs have helped them reduce or eliminate tobacco from their lives. And what with tobacco having been linked to lung cancer, emphysema and a number of other health hazards, it stands to reason that e-cigs are a healthier alternative to smoking.
No second-hand smoke, no ash tray smell, no tar, no fire hazard and no limitations with e-cigs. These come in cigarette-sized and cigar-sized units, so as to simulate a smoking experience. Nicotine cartridges come with varying amounts of active ingredient, so that each user can find the right concentration for their taste and perhaps help them to quilt.
