How to Use Electronic Cigarettes to Quit Smoking

Since the invention of electronic cigarettes, there has been much debate over whether or not these devices can actually be used to help people quit smoking altogether. While the eCigs do contain nicotine, an addictive substance, they do not contain the hundreds of other harmful chemicals that can be found in normal tobacco cigarettes. Fundamentally, these electronic substitutes are a healthier and safer alternative, but can they help individuals abandon the habit completely?
 
A great way to answer this question is to examine the current products that are specifically designed for smoking cessation. These include patches, gums, and pills that satisfy nicotine cravings while smokers are getting over their addiction. The idea is that the individual will gradually lower the nicotine doses until they can completely relinquish their dependence on the products.
 
However, most of us probably know at least one smoker who has tried to quit smoking using these types of products and failed. One of the primary reasons these methods do not work is because smoking cigarettes become part of a routine and a habit that is hard to break. Smokers get used to having a cigarette after a meal or at a certain time of day for example. Electronic cigarettes are just the product that may be able to address this issue.
 
Electronic cigarettes work very similarly to the patches or gums because they allow the users to receive nicotine without smoking actual cigarettes. However, they also provide the feeling and actions of smoking that the users have grown accustomed to. The smokers inhale from the vaporizer as they would a normal cigarette and the tip of the electronic cigarette even lights up as if it were real, giving the smoker the sensations and the nicotine that they crave without the many other harmful ingredients that tobacco cigarettes contain.
 
ECigarettes are often harshly judged because it is more difficult for the consumer to judge how much nicotine they are inhaling when using the devices. However, there are cartridges available with different concentrations of nicotine. Therefore, even though smokers may not know exactly how much nicotine is being ingested with every drag, they can reduce their dependency by gradually moving from higher concentrations to lower concentrations, and using the eCigs less frequently. Like when using any smoking cessation product, this process does require self-control on the part of the individual, but many people have found quitting tobacco cigarettes much more possible and enjoyable when they have the support of eCigarettes.

    1. Hi chigotoday, and thanks for commenting.

      Hopefully the post author will stop by and answer this question for you. Sometimes the Guest Authors disappear on me and leave people hanging, maybe we’ll see victory back to reply 🙂

    2. Hey, chigotoday. Thank you for your question, I would be very happy to answer to it. Actually ecigs help you at first to get rid of nicotine in your lungs. If you smoke you will know better than anybody that real cigarettes are hard to quit that is why ecigs help at least stay healthier. Then, during the time our body get used to the lack of the nicotine and they stop smoking.

  1. The debate still lives and our Health Department won’t recognize eCigs as an alternative to smoking. It just provokes non-smokers to smoke.

  2. While these cigarettes are still somewhat better than the real things I’m still not so sure about what side effect they will present in the future.

  3. Great article and very good solution. Thanks for posting. The solutions for such kind of problems are found very rare. Keep Posting.

  4. I used to write about E-Cigarettes for a client and although writing 3 a week about how great they were, finding out all the info about them, they were not so healthy after all. Plus although it sounds cheaper, it is around the same price.
    To buy the starter equipment: $250
    To buy the Cigarettes: $35
    To buy the replacements which most customers say last them a day: $4

    Once again keep up the great work!

  5. Electronic Cigarettes work if you are ready to quit. They are not magic… People need to understand they are an aide to quit smoking. If you look at the two side by side, e-cigs have thousand of less chemicals. They should be used to assist quitting and then you should stop e-cigs as well

  6. I know using E cigar is a good start or better than that of smoking the conventional cigar. But still this will cause some side effect. In my part, if we want to change our life, we will fully keep our body away from these things. We need to stop smoking so if posible, no even E cigar.
