In England, almost 1.6
million adults aged 35 and older required hospital admissions for
smoking-related diseases from 2011 to 2012 according to the Health
and Social Care Information Centre. The alarming figures have caused
many smokers to turn
to e-cigarettes and do away with traditional ones. In fact,
today's majority of e-cigarette smokers are former cigarette smokers.
Cigarette smokers find
it enticing to make the switch because of the benefits that
e-cigarettes offer: From 1980 to 2012, the price of tobacco has
increased by a total of 191%, making cigarettes expensive to use
these days. Meanwhile, a cartridge of e-cigarette, which costs only
around a pound each, is equivalent to 15 to 20 tobaccos worth of
smoking time.
Additionally, studies
have proven that traditional cigarettes are harmful to health.
Cigarette smoking can put people at a high risk of contracting
various conditions like stroke, heart attack, and most especially
lung cancer. Accounts of people feeling much better physically
speaking when they switched from cigarette smoking to electronic
cigarettes have also been reported.
Cigarette odour tends
to cling to anything it comes in contact with, such as clothing,
hair, and any other personal item carried by a traditional smoker,
and non-smokers often avoid being near to smokers because of this.
E-cigarettes are odour-free since it is vapour, not smoke, that is
exhaled. The e liquid is a mixture of nicotine, water and added
flavours, and together with vegetable glycerine or propylene glycol,
it produces the vapour in e-cigarettes.
