Cigarette smoking has been a part of civilization for centuries (as early as 5000BCE) despite the health considerations for the smoker and the environment as well as those who passiviely inhale the fumes.
Until now ... enter the Milennium and the many technologies that are allowing us to enjoy simulations of fireplaces, etc. So, why not an electronic cigarette?
It seems the Food and Drug Administration wanted to ban e-cigarettes?
"Taken together, this evidence suggests that electronic cigarettes are capable of reducing cigarette craving, but that the effect is not due exclusively to nicotine. Bullen et al observe that "the reduction in desire to smoke in the first 10 min[utes] of [electronic cigarette] use appears to be independent of nicotine absorption."...The sizable craving reduction achieved by the "placebo"—a nicotine-free electronic cigarette—demonstrates the ability of physical stimuli to suppress cravings independently. Many studies have established the ability of denicotinized cigarettes to provide craving relief. Barrett found that denicotinized cigarettes reduce cravings more than a nicotinized inhaler, supporting Buchhalter et al's conclusion that although some withdrawal symptoms can be treated effectively with NRT [nicotine replacement therapy], others, such as intense cravings, respond better to smoking-related stimuli."
How does it work?: The atomized cartridge is composed of an inhaler and a liquid container. The liquid container contains nicotine diluents which are ready to be atomized; it does not contain ingredients harmful to human body, such as tar and carcinogenic substance. The inhaler and liquid container are disposable. According to nicotine content, the atomized cartridges are classified into four kinds: high, medium, low and zero. Cartridge with high, medium or low nicotine content are only used as the substitute for cigarette during the process of smoke abstention, and the cartridge free of nicotine is for long-term use.
