Smokers and Non-Smokers can now be in the same party without offending each other

There was this party where I went with my friends. And let me confirm in the beginning that I am a regular smoker and hate going to parties where there is no open space to go and have a peaceful smoke.

So, here I was, with friends who did not smoke, and with no verandah or terrace for me to get some fresh air, or good breath as you may call it. I was trying to keep my calm but it was becoming increasingly impossible for me to stay there. Obviously I could not have walked out as the hosts were common friends and I did not want to offend them as already I had been meeting them after quite a few months.

And then I could not hold it any longer and went up to Smith, the host, and my long time friend and ex-colleague. I had to ask him to excuse myself for a quick smoke. Smith was talking to his sister Jennah who, to my huge surprise, was smoking a cigarette! I mumbled the words, “How come you are smoking indoors?” Jennah then gave me a hearty laugh and informed me all about electronic cigarette. She said that her boyfriend used to be a heavy smoker and his mother asked him to shift to electronic cigarette so that he was happy and moreover was not causing any harm to himself or the people around him.

Well, to be honest, I was just so jealous of Jennah right then! There she was, having a good smoke and telling me about electronic cigarette. and there I was, dying to feel the smoke inside my breath. It seems Jennah read my thoughts and offered one from her e-cig case. And let me tell you right here that the case looked beautiful! It was a black metal case and with intricate designs of leaves and all. To continue, she offered me a new e-cig and directed me how to use it. And it was just so simple! I just put it between my lips, and inhaled as I did with any other cigarette. And I exhaled, and there was NO smoke! Unbelievable! Jennah then told me that the nicotine inside it was diluted and was in a liquid state. This was the reason it produced no smoke and was much less harmful to the body than tobacco cigarettes.

It has been seven months since that day, and I have been a faithful user of electronic cigarette. it has cut the bill from my smoking list to a considerable amount, it leaves me with no stinky awkwardness, and I don’t cough as much as I used to previously once I caught even the slightest cold.

So this was the real life testimonial of me and my electronic cigarette.

Electronic Cigarette helps you to Quit Smoking

The dilemma that smokers face is that they realize perfectly well how they are harming themselves by smoking tobacco cigarettes. But the habit of tobacco is such that quitting seems not just extremely difficult, but also sudden quitting may lead to serious health problems.

When the body gets habituated with a certain thing, in this case nicotine, it becomes a huge stress for it to stay healthy without it suddenly. If you think that one fine morning, with the squirrels chirruping and the kitchen smelling of fresh coffee, you will be able to quit cigarette, you could not have been any more mistaken.

The habit of nicotine is one such, that you may take it easily, but cannot leave it without much effort. And when you try to think about quitting, the only option you find is to leave it at once. However, as I mentioned earlier, that is not possible. Those who are heavy smokers can try to bring down the frequency. However, when they bring it down to 2-3 cigarettes per day, how do they quit completely?

It is then that Electronic cigarette comes to your rescue.

The specialty of e-cig, or electronic cigarette, is that it has very less quantity of nicotine in it, and that too dissolved in as many as four other liquids. This makes the strength of the nicotine considerably less than ordinary cigarettes.

Moreover, you can regulate the amount of nicotine or the strength of nicotine you need for your puffs, with every pack you order. Though this facility is not offered by every company, most of them have this option of allowing their customers choose what combination of nicotine and flavor they want. You may choose a combination, or you may choose only nicotine if you cannot stay without it at all in the beginning. You may also choose only a flavor and no nicotine at all. This is for those who do not need the nicotine in their body any more, but enjoy the activity of inhaling and exhaling. This has much to do with the psychology. It is like some of us find it assuring to have the photograph of any of our family member with us, and even though we hardly get the time to have a look at it, just the knowledge of it being with us makes us feel comfortable. The habit of holding the stick between the fingers is something similar to that.

The influence of electronic cigarette in the lives of smokers has been immense. The boost that they needed to help them quit is finally here.
