What Are Electronic Smokeless Cigarettes?

Electronic smoking products come in several forms and resemble cigarettes, cigars and pipes.  One of the most popular smokeless cigarettes is the “pen” or “Hollywood” style, but each manufacturer has its own distinct style.  Some look like traditional cigarettes or cigars while other e-smoking products feature a new-age look.

Electronic cigars and electronic cigarettes work the same way.  Both are battery powered.  The battery powers the heating system that vaporizes the propylene glycol/nicotine solution, which the user inhales.  The solution is flavored and concentrated according to the selection of the smokeless cigarette.  Meanwhile, the end result is a sensation similar to the sensation accompanying conventional cigarettes but without tobacco, without actual combustion and without hundreds of harmful chemicals.

Most smokeless cigarettes are reusable products with replaceable and refillable parts. Recently, disposable smokeless cigarettes have been developed.  However, the smokeless cigarette user does not need an ashtray or need to dispose of a filter or cigarette butt.

The act of using an electronic cigarette is known as “vaping.”  Smokeless cigarette users term traditional tobacco cigarettes as “analogs.”
