Celebrities and Electronic Cigarette

The news of Amy Winehouse succumbing to drug and tobacco addiction has rocked the world. Or perhaps we all knew what would be the end of such a story. Even the sudden revelation three years ago about Michael Douglas’s throat cancer was a big shock to his fans all over the world.

So what seems to be the main culprit behind such celebrity tragedies? Tobacco cigarette. And with the increase in such diseases among their peers, celebrities are now searching for alternatives that would keep them maintaining their habit of smoking and yet not pose such a threat to their health and beauty.
Electronic cigarette is the solution that celebrities have opted for. The first celebrity to have been photographed vaping electronic cigarette was Leonardo DiCaprio a few years back. That somehow brought the whole concept of celebrities and electronic cigarette.

Then we came to see a hoard of celebrities shifting from “analog” cigarette to “digital” electronic cigarette. Hollywood big shot like Johnny Depp was seen vaping electronic cigarette during the shoot of “The Tourist”. Then there are stars like Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen and many others.

What was quite shocking was that when people saw the photograph of Lindsay Lohan vaping electronic cigarette. The actress who is famous for her devil-may-care attitude and controversial court cases related to alcohol and smoking. Choosing electronic cigarette must have helped Lindsay in recovering from her condition to a great extent.
The most recent public appearance of any Hollywood celebrity was Katherine Heigl, who on David Letterman’s late night show, lit up an electronic cigarette and asked the host to take a puff as well. Katherine has since been spotted quite a number of times ‘smoking’ electronic cigarette, in taxi, on shoot break and even ion the beach.

It was finally Catherine Zeta Jones who, having suffered a three year long tragedy for her husband’s throat cancer has shifted to electronic cigarette. She was spotted a few weeks earlier outside a restaurant in France smoking electronic cigarette.

The benefits of electronic cigarette are no longer a mystery to these celebrities and they take pride in being owners of something that keeps them happy and safe.

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.

Reasons why Women simply Love Electronic Cigarette

Women have been taking a particular fancy to “vaping” electronic cigarette. Women usually prefer things that are safe, as they are by nature more responsible and thoughtful. It is not just non-celebrity women, but also celebrities like Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Kate Moss, Paris Hilton and even the famous-for-addiction Lindsay Lohan has chosen electronic cigarette for the sake of various benefits that they receive.


Safe around Children:
Children are the biggest sufferers of passive smoking, according to the US Surgeon General. It has been reported that non-smoking adults are less exposed to passive smoking than children. This makes children all the more vulnerable to the harms of smoke. If children are regularly exposed to smoke, they develop ear infections, asthma and respiratory disorders, and even tuberculosis in certain extreme cases.
Women care for children immensely. They usually go through a dilemma of either continuing with their habit of smoking or quitting, as there used to be no options of smoking without causing any harm to the children around.
With the invention of electronic cigarette, women can now smoke without worries. Electronic cigarette vapor is completely tobacco free, and contains a 90% of water vapor.

To keep them Attractive:
Regular tobacco cigarettes result in making the teeth yellow with the continuous use of direct nicotine. Electronic cigarette vapor contains the least possible amount of nicotine, which means yellowing of teeth is not a danger related to the smoking of e-cig.
Also, the smoke of tobacco cigarettes fills the house and the room where you smoke. Women have complained that when entering a parlor, all they could smell instantly was the strong smell of cigarette. Electronic cigarette saves your day if you like to have a puff at break times.

Safe to get Intimate after Smoking:
Electronic cigarette is your savior if you have been facing embarrassment for smoking cigarette and kissing afterwards, with a mouthful of tobacco odor. The vapor of e-cig releases no odor and no tobacco. so, you can choose a refreshing flavor like Menthol and smoke as much as you want, and yet be confident to kiss!

Catherine Zeta-Jones shifts to Electronic Cigarette

Catherine Zeta-Jones is the latest addition to the group of celebrities who have started smoking electronic cigarette keeping their health in mind.

The Hollywood actress’ husband Michael Douglas was diagnosed with “stage four” throat cancer three years ago, and has recently declared being cancer free. After such an experience, it seems rather drastic that Zeta-Jones should be smoking.
But wait till you hear the full news!
The Mask of Zorro star was caught smoking electronic cigarette in Golfe Juan, France. There have been reports that the actress, 41, has been trying to quit smoking since her husband, 66, has finally recovered from cancer.
Though Douglas has not yet given up smoking completely, his wife is trying to quit and has shifted from tobacco to electronic cigarettes.
The others to have long joined the health camp of electronic cigarette are Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Paris Hilton, Katherine Heigl, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed and even Lindsay Lohan!

Health Comes First

It was Lord Buddha who said that “health is the greatest gift”. Those of us who are suffering from a failing health know this as true. We not care for our health when we have time, when we should. But as we approach the last limit, we tend to realize the value of a healthy body. It is not just healthy body which matters. A healthy mind is also very responsible to keep a person in a healthy state of being.

Smoking cigarette is one habit which has turned into addiction for many. And it becomes tough for those who want to quit and cannot. Electronic cigarette is a great option to turn the table. It gives you the opportunity to correct the mistake you have been making by inhaling loads of tobacco every day. Think healthy if you care for yourself and your near and dear ones.

So, why is it that electronic cigarettes are deemed healthy by scientists from all over the world?
The total absence of tobacco in electronic cigarette results in a drastic fall of danger level compared to ordinary cigarette. Moreover, the nicotine in ecigs is dissolved in water. This means that when you inhale it, you do not get the direct nicotine, unlike tobacco cigarette.

The health of the people around whom you smoke should be kept in mind as well. passive smokers suffer from diseases like brain tumor, tuberculosis, asthma and chronic infections of throat, nose etc.
The vapor of ecig has no tobacco and no smell of tobacco as well. Hence, the passive smokers are safe when it comes to their health.

That health is not the only concern in such days of economic crisis as these is understood. Electronic cigarette is light on the budget as well. While a packet of ordinary cigarette will cost you approximately $5, a cartridge of ecig that is equivalent to one tobacco cigarette packet in usage will cost you something around $3. So, you save up to $700 per year if you are a heavy smoker. For light smokers, the profit is similar.

With nuclear families all around us, it is difficult to take care of yourself and continue to work if you remain ill all the time. According to surveys, tobacco smokers have a lower level of immunity than non-smokers. With electronic cigarette, even a cigarette smoker can now have the health of a non-smoker.

Save money, Save your Health

So how do you decide whether money comes first or health? Some say, health is wealth. So, according to them, if you are healthy then you will have money. Not always. Some say, wealth is better. So, according to them, wealth must be the answer to bad health. Not always either. It is a combination of both that keeps a body working and the soul peaceful.

The debate of health or wealth will go on, and I am nobody to give a judgment. But in my years of experience, I have seen that one needs to maintain a healthy balance between the green paper and the visits to the doctor. Else all is in vain. You have the health of a horse but by the time you recover the losses you have had to endure to gain it, you lose your health. Or even worse, you are so busy in keeping yourself fit and strong that you forget about doing some good responsible job to run the family.

Alas the sick rich! They have the whole world waiting on them, but they never have a single moment of peace. They are so worried about their money that they ignore the importance of having a healthy body. The reckless lifestyle keeps them from enjoying the benefits of a healthy life.
It takes two to tango, as they say.
