Perhaps it was only a matter of time, but given our increasingly digital world, is it any wonder that electronic cigarettes should exist - and become so popular? While not everything electronic is digital, and these cigarettes are almost as "analog" as conventional types, it is definitely a sign of the times that people should now light up using not good old-fashioned flame but modern battery power!
An electronic cigarette works in just that way, using a tiny heating coil powered by a small lithium-ion battery cell to deliver nicotine. Four steps are involved: a flow sensor detects whether the user is inhaling, upon which time the liquid nicotine and flavoring contained in a catridge is released into the atomization chamber. An embedded computer chip controls the amount that is released to the heating coils, which "atomizes" the liquid, creating a rich vapor said to be similar to smoke. Finally, a LED display light at the tip of the cigarette opposite the filter glows and fades out to indicate activity, mimicking the behavior of a conventional cigarette.
Because these devices release only vapors and not smoke, they are also known as smokeless cigarettes and, it is claimed, perfectly legal for use in even banned locations since no second-hand smoke harmful to bystanders is involved. Indeed, it is even claimed that e-cigarettes present lowered risks to the users themselves, as the carcinogenic agents that result from combustion are also absent.
The solution held in the cartridge is not much more than a water and nicotine solution. As the e-cigarette is sucked on it automatically turns on the mini atomizer which vaporizes the solution into a thick vapor. The effect is amazingly like a real cigarette. You even get a throughty hit if you wanted. Simply adjust how hard you drag on it just as you would a regular smoke. With the cost being so competitive it leaves little reason for consumers to overlook the godsend product. Being the economy as it is many can use all the savings they can get.
The science on this claim has been controversial, with the World Health Organization finding no such benefit in 2008 while a Boston University School of Public Health study in 2010 concluding almost the opposite. Many of the manufacturers themselves, however, will often still slap onto their products the same warning labels mandatory for regular cigarettes due to the nicotine content involved.
