Can Electric Cigarette Help Quit Smoking?

There have been a lot of speculations whether electric cigars can help stop smoking. Well, sad to say, Elec cig or electronic cigarette is not a quit smoking device(at least not scientifically). It was designed to be a replacement/alternative to the more hazardous tobacco smoking. Though they are somewhat similar (in appearance), an electric cigar utilizes heat to  vaporize e-juice (flavors) along with liquid nicotine (which is considerably the most addictive substance in a cigarette).

What made people think that it is a Quit Smoking Device? 
Though unproven, many people namely addicted smokers have switched because primarily they want a healthier option to cigar smoking. And for a fact, smokers are mostly addicted to the nicotine content. Nicotine is considered to be a major constrictor, once you're hooked, there's no easy way off it. A reason why many who try to quit smoking find several side-effects towards it. For heavy-smokers, some doctors even suggest slowly cutting the nicotine intake by slowly cutting smoking tobacco before totally quitting. And with e-cigars, many people have this option, and then in the long run, could have the option of smoking a nicotine-free e-cigarette before totally stopping. But this hasn't been proven yet, at least not scientifically according to some experts. They actually say that you are still smoking, only with a different form/device (although, some people consider vaping to be different from the actual smoking).

Although, it is not yet considered to be a smoking cessation aid, many smokers have found it better than the traditional cigars as e-cigarettes doesn't contain the other 4000 chemicals found in cigarettes which many are carcinogens.   How about you, which do you prefer?

Giving Up Smoking

Whoever says that giving up smoking was hard? Well, this image represents my thoughts about it... But what the heck! There's no harm in trying right? Anyways, it's just great that I've discovered e-cigarettes. I'm not sure though if it's really harmless but compared to the regular cigs, I prefer it better... no smoke and ashes, plus I don't smell trash anymore!
