I’ve never been a smoker, never wanted to be a smoker and have a real hard time understanding smoking.
But I do have a bit of an understanding on how difficult it is for people to quit smoking. I’ve seen a number of friends and relatives struggle to kick the habit.
While there can be widespread viewpoints on the pros and cons of smoking, I think it’s pretty safe to say that everyone knows that smoking can have severe health consequences to the smoker – with lung cancer and heart disease being the main culprits.
Now along comes a new device – the e-cigarette – that hopes to cut down the health risks of smoking. It’s an electronic devices that same size as a cigarette with a battery-powered dispenser inside that atomizes, or mists, amounts of nicotine to be inhaled by the “smoker.” In effect, the e-smoker gets the fix of nicotine a cigarette delivers while keeping out the tar and toxic gases that can lead to the highest forms of health risks.
