The Trend of Smokeless Cigarettes

As reported on The Doctors television show earlier this year, the use of electronic, smokeless cigarettes is gaining popularity.  The popular television show listed the smokeless cigarette as number 9 on its list of top 10 health trends in 2009.  Ever since, sales of smokeless cigarettes have increased dramatically.

Smokeless cigarettes have been used in the United States since 2007 and hit full stride in 2008.  The favorable response is attributed to several factors:

• Health – smokeless cigarette users are not subjected to the multitudes of cancer causing carcinogens present in the tobacco smoking experience.  It has been estimated that tobacco-smoking products contain no fewer than 4000 harmful chemicals.  Smokeless cigarettes do contain nicotine but nicotine does not cause cancer.

• Price – Smoking of e-cigarettes costs approximately one-third the annualized cost of using tobacco-based products.  With the rising price of a pack of tobacco cigarettes, the cost of smoking has become a huge concern among users.

• Odor-free – Electronic cigarettes may be enjoyed anywhere at anytime.  The vapor is odor—free and smokeless.

• Taste – Many flavored options exist for e-cigarette users including chocolate, mint, traditional taste and others.

• Safety and Cleanliness – No matches, no ashes and no ashtrays make for a safer, more carefree experience.

• Oral sensation – While the e-cigarette contains no tobacco, it does contain nicotine and many users actually use smokeless cigarettes to reduce their tobacco dependency.  Tobacco smokers looking to contain their tobacco addiction can still enjoy the oral sensation of the smoking habit.

• The Next Step – Tobacco smokers see e-cigarettes as the next step in remedying the use of tobacco.  Smoking experts agree that the use of smokeless cigarettes is much more desirable than the use of tobacco-based products.

Whether you are considering a smokeless experience or are seeking to quit your tobacco smoking habit, e-cigarettes are worth considering.  Most smokeless cigarette users would agree and there have been no reports of negative health effects.  Join one of the top ten health trends in 2009 and try smokeless cigarettes.
