Will power alone is often not enough for some people who try to stop smoking; the craving for a cigarette is so strong because over time, nicotine changes the structure and function of the brain. Addicts will think they need a cigarette when actually it is purely the nicotine that is being craved.

That doesn’t mean to say, however that the cigarette is not physically addictive. The action of inhaling the toxic smoke and putting the cigarette to your mouth in itself can become habitual, making the nicotine addiction even harder to beat. The mouth and hands are very erogenous and touching and inhaling something that makes you feel so relaxed and happy is also in itself very hard to stop doing.

That’s why more and more people are realising that their addiction to nicotine is so much more complex than they had initially realised. There are numerous contributing factors to the addiction that must all be eased before it can be completely beaten and the addiction to the drug is a large part of it but old habits die hard. The actions of holding the cigarette between your fingers and having it in your mouth have to both be kicked in order for the temptation to smoke to no longer be an issue.

Governments and health organisations appear to have fought tooth and nail to prevent the wide scale distribution of the e cig, first claiming the product was simply unsafe and later attacking the fact that they contain nicotine, which has of course proven to be highly addictive.

In the early days, many e cigarette distributors and companies, operating mainly on the internet, were marketing them as device to aid smokers to quit smoking and presenting them as a healthier alternative to smoking. Whilst the latter claims still seem to be relevant, (there don’t seem to be many people willing to suggest that the electronic cigarette is not at least a little less harmful than tobacco cigarette smoking) the language has changed to suggest the product is “less harmful”, rather than “healthier”.

Pernickety as this may seem, it’s a price that the e cig distributors have had to pay in order to stay in business, as it became simply unacceptable to market the product as a smoking cessation device or to use the word “healthier” regarding something that still contained addictive nicotine.

In many ways, like the warnings that are displayed on the packaging of regular tobacco cigarettes, so to the electronic cigarette branding is following suit, which is probably no bad thing. Likewise, websites promoting and selling the product should now display the relevant warnings clearly on the site.

Perhaps, ultimately, it’s the smokers themselves that have the loudest voices in this battle and the strongest hope of providing a victory for the electronic cigarette. Those smokers who have been bold enough in their search for something that may satisfy their cravings, yet possibly put themselves at less risk, have often in recent years found themselves knocking on the door of the e cig.

Many smokers who have chosen the e cigarette as an alternative to tobacco smoking have reported that they feel generally “really good” after making the switch.

Despite the struggle and opposition that this potentially remarkable product has faced, the electronic cigarette seems to be here to stay. In fact, the market seems to be growing rather than faltering and with many more distribution websites springing up, it’s not difficult to check them out for yourselves and draw your own conclusions.

Why am I so interested in the future of electronic cigarettes when in fact I am a non smoker? Well, despite the strong opposition the e cigarette (as it’s sometimes referred to) has faced in the several years it has been available on the market and when you consider the destruction that regular tobacco cigarettes cause, then a product that at least on the surface claims to be less harmful than regular smoking methods, surely must be given a chance to prove itself?

Tobacco cigarettes and the smoking of them may have had to endure stricter regulations in recent years but there really is no sign of them ever being outlawed completely, despite the known harm that is caused by them, not only to those that smoke them but those around and about the smoker too.

My father was 53 when lung cancer took his life. Twelve months before he died, he was told by doctors that his cancer was related to cigarette smoking. The scary thing is, he never smoked a cigarette in his life but he had shared every lunch time for over 30 years in builders’ huts, with gangs of builders and labourers who smoked one cigarette after another. The dreaded passive smoking!

I am well aware that electronic cigarettes need to be tested and researched thoroughly and indeed if they are determined to be as harmful as or more harmful than tobacco cigarettes then they shouldn’t be given the green light. But, this is very unlikely when you consider that the electronic cigarette (although it does contain nicotine) contains no tobacco at all and because of this, none of the harmful cancer causing tars either!

I am sure most of us (tobacco companies aside) would in an ideal world love to see the back of smoking forever but if that is not achievable wouldn’t we rather see our relatives and friends, if they absolutely must choose to smoke some kind of cigarette, smoking something that is far less likely to send them spinning towards bad health and an early grave?

Let’s give electronic cigarettes a chance to prove themselves, especially as it may turn out to be a much, much less harmful product than the tobacco cigarettes that have destroyed so many lives the world over.

There have been many articles written about the general controversy and coverage of electronic cigarettes and there are likely to be many more written too. How about just for a moment, we take a look at what the distributors of e cigs say are the positive things about the product, and then if you are interested you check into it all in more detail at one of the many websites that promote them.

To take a clearer look at some of the so called benefits of electronic cigarettes, we first need to think about all the known terrible things about smoking regular tobacco cigarettes.

Bad things about tobacco cigarettes:

• Diseases and illnesses. Lung cancer is the most obvious of the cancers than can be caused by smoking but there are many more besides, such as throat cancer and mouth cancer. Bladder cancer and cancer of the kidney are also much more common in smokers.

• As well as all the cancer threats there are also cardiovascular diseases and other lung diseases to worry about. All in all, research has shown that smokers are likely to live 7 or 8 years less than those that don’t smoke.

• Passive smoking – not only does smoking put the smoker at risk but also the health and lives of the people around them, through passive smoking or inhaling second hand smoke.

• Bad breath, yellow fingers and teeth and smelly clothes are some of the other unpleasant effects of smoking tobacco cigarettes.

How are electronic cigarettes less harmful?

• Although an electronic cigarette still contains the addictive nicotine, there is absolutely no tobacco present and therefore none of the tar (which is the cancer causing substance) build up that is associated with regular cigs.

• An e cig only emits water like vapour (no smoke); therefore there is no danger of passive smoking.

• The vapour itself is odourless so none of the smelly breath or clothes occurs.

• They are legal to smoke anywhere, unlike tobacco cigarettes which are banned from pretty much all public places.

• E cigarettes are approximately about 80% cheaper to smoke then ordinary cigarettes, so potentially a huge saving.

• Without the tar, there is little or no pollution which actually makes e cigs much greener and less harmful to the environment.

So, are electronic cigarettes less harmful than tobacco cigarettes? On this particular evidence the answer would have to be an unequivocal yes! There’s lots more information out there than can help you decide whether as a smoker, the e cigarette is something for you or not.

It seems so crazy to me that they have all the statistics right in front of them, all the information in the world telling them how dangerous cigarettes are and all the benefits of the E-Cig and they have the audacity to ban it! Aside from that, the majority of American smokers are in favour of electronic cigarettes, in fact they highly rate them!

One user of the Smart Smoker electronic cigarette said ‘This is the best alternative out there by a mile!’

Bill Godshall of Smokefree Pennsylvania said that, “denying 45 million cigarette smokers access to exponentially less hazardous smokefree nicotine alternatives would result in millions of preventable deaths among smokers, millions of nonsmokers continuing to be exposed to tobacco smoke pollution, and tens of thousands of e-cigarettes users reverting back to smoking cigarettes.” He also said, “it is absurd for the FDA to even contemplate protecting the deadliest nicotine products (cigarettes) from market competition by the least hazardous nicotine products.”

Smart Smoker is a very popular electric cigarette company all over the world and smokers who are trying their hardest to kick their habit are being forced to use other methods that are not neccesarily as effective or as wallet friendly.

What really gripes me though and I’m sure it will you too, is that the person influencing regulations on electronic cigarette sales in the USA is Senator Frank Lautenberg who has a vested interest in not allowing electronic cigarettes to become the most popular, alternative to smoking. Known for putting a stop to smoking on aeroplanes, Lautenberg has now lost the plot in his crusade for a healthier America and rather than helping smokers, banning electronic cigarettes is just going to reverse all the good work they’ve already done for a vast amount of the public.

Apart from the obvious benefits, Electric Cigarettes from Smart Smoker don’t burn like regular cigarettes so you can take a few puffs on one and then put it in your pocket if you want to. The case that Smart Smoker sell for the Electronic Cigarette though is more hygenic than a trouser pocket though and you can store accessories inside it without losing them so that all your essentials are in one place.

The Smart Case retails at just £5.95, which is a good investment when you consider that it is re-usable and will store more than just the electric cigarette itself.

The case comes as part of the package with the ‘Springtime – New You!’ kit which has FREE shipping!

I’ve been in bars and pubs and seen them being used quite frequently, especially since the smoking ban but never in a restaurant so to see them being used in my favourite eatery was great!

They do attract attention or curiosity, shall I say, but then that is the job of many fashion accessories – not just to complete an outfit but to show a bit of personality and to get you noticed – to stand out from the crowd.

It really was great to see – I was happy that the people were avoiding cigarettes and opting for the electric cigarette instead and also that they were doing it inside, just causing a bit of a fuss – great!

Enjoy your electronic cigarette from Smart Smoker anywhere, any time!

Apparently, cigarette smokers can be tested weekly (how much does that cost I wonder) and expect anything up to £12.50 per week off their shopping if they pass the test proving that they haven’t lit up. That money should be pumped into alternatives to smoking like the electronic cigatette, not pumped into the pockets of weak-willed smokers. It’s a sorry state of affairs when you have to get money off the Government to stop you from putting a little white stick in your mouth; these people on the trial must feel like they’re living back at home with Mum and Dad, getting paid not to hit their little brother or sister.

Not only is this scheme ridiculous, it is irresponsible because it encourages smokers to feel rewarded, therefore the money that they’re given on the ‘Smart Card’ could easily be spent on treats which will inevitably promote unhealthy eating/drinking. It’s a vicious circle, and is not being welcomed by some non-smokers or ex-smokers who have totted up their bribe back-pay.

Well we may not give you money to buy your weekly shopping but the electric cigarette that you could be using right now from Smart Smoker could make you better off financially in the long run and help you to enjoy doing the weekly shop with your own money!

The e-cigarette from Smart Smoker is the only real alternative to smoking regular cigarettes and is widely available from the Smart Smoker website.
