Is There A Cigarette That Doesnt Cause Cancer

Now with a headline like that, chances are you are reading this because either you or someone you love smokes cigarettes. If that is indeed the case, it is very important that you continue reading because the following article is filled with some very important information regarding the health risks associated with smoking and new developments that can help smokers avoid the common risks associated with smoking traditional cigarettes.

Recently a number of new patents have been granted for something called the Electronic Cigarette, also known as the e-cigarette or smokeless cigarette. It is a promising new invention that allows you to smoke in all of the places where smoking cigarettes is prohibited and at the same time electronic cigarettes are void of all of the cancer causing agents found in traditional cigarettes.

The electronic cigarette works like this. It is a small battery powered device that looks, tastes and feels just like a regular cigarette. When you inhale, you activate a flow censor which releases a nicotine based water vapor, which you inhale into your lungs. While nicotine does present certain health risks, current studies have not found it to be associated with causing cancer. Instead it is the burning and inhaling of tobacco that presents most of the cancer risks associated with smoking cigarettes.

While electronic cigarettes are not smoking cessation devices per se, the fact that the nicotine strengths come in full, medium, light, and none, suggests an obvious benefit to those trying to wean themselves off smoking.

Electronic cigarettes also come in a variety of flavors such as regular, menthol, apple, and strawberry. While the fruity flavors might sound a bit odd, they are actually quit enjoyable. Even many long time smokers find that they favor the fruit flavors over the traditional ones, strawberry in particular gets many enthusiastic reviews.

A debatable drawback to electronic cigarettes is the fact that a starter kit runs about $100.

However, the refill cartridges are considerably cheaper than regular cigarettes and within a few weeks the savings far exceed the cost of traditional cigarettes. In fact, if you average smoking one pack of cigarettes a day, at an average cost of $6 per pack, you will begin saving money on about your fortieth day of using an electronic cigarette as an alternative to traditional smoking. Over the course of a years time, the savings would amount to more than $1,000. If you smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, the annual savings is doubled, and you begin saving in half as much time, or about 20 days.
