Electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly more popular as an alternative to traditional cigarettes, which is exactly the purpose of e-cigarettes. Long-time smokers are making the switch to e-cigarettes for reasons primarily pertaining to health, public smoking and cost. In lieu of the rising trend of e-cigarettes, here is a brief comparison between the electronic cigarette and the normal tobacco cigarettes. First, perhaps the most significant difference between the two is that E Cigarettes are tobacco-free whereas conventional cigarettes are not. The latter is known to contain and emit thousands of chemicals and harmful substances when burned. The lack of tobacco in the E Cigarette (also known as E Cig) lessens much of the risk associated with tobacco, such as cancer, heart issues and lung diseases. Conventional and electronic cigarettes are similar in that both contain nicotine but the similarities end there, as the composition and handling of the nicotine by both cigarettes do differ. E-cigarettes are designed so that liquid nicotine is contained within a small cartridge. Users can purchase refill cartridges that come in dosage levels of none, low, medium and high with the highest level generally equivalent to that of a conventional cigarette. On the contrary, conventional cigarettes contain nicotine within the make-up of the cigarette itself which is actually smoked and released when lit and burned. The benefit to the E-Cigarette in this regard is fairly obvious since the cartridges permit the nicotine levels to be adjusted rather easily. Third, a comparison of conventional cigarettes and E-Cigarettes can certainly not be complete without discussing second-hand smoke as this is a noteworthy difference. With conventional cigarettes, those around the smoker are (unwillingly) exposed and forced to inhale smoke produced from the cigarette as it is burned. This second-hand smoke is a result of the burning of the tobacco and related harmful chemicals which can cause cancer and other serious health problems. E-Cigarettes, on the other hand, eliminate the problem of second-hand smoke not only because they are tobacco-free but also because they are not burned putting out only a slight scented vapour. Besides the three major differences above, the E-Cigarette also differs from conventional cigarettes in other ways, some of which include: No smoky smell on clothes, furniture, skin, hair, etc. Can harmlessly smoke inside Can legally smoke in public venues prohibiting conventional cigarettes No burning or risk of fire Cost is generally less, particularly in the long-run No cigarette butts or ash trays No bad breath or stained teeth
