Five Fast Factoids About The E-Cigarette

By Billy Genthner


If you are thinking about trying electronic cigarettes, you are not alone. While sales of traditional cigarettes are in decline, this is an industry that is booming and there are plenty of reasons why people are opting for E-Cigarettes. If you don't know much about this product, here is a bit of information that you might find interesting.

1. There Are Many Names For E-Cigarettes

While electronic cigarette and E-Cig might be among the most common names for these products, there are several other terms that might be used to identify them. Personal vaporizer is one term that might be used, or perhaps just PV. They've even been called ENDS or electronic nicotine delivery systems, although not all E-Cigs contain nicotine.

2. Smokeless Cigarettes Have Been In Development For Decades

While E-Cigs certainly have boomed in popularity over the last few years, smokeless cigarettes have been around longer than you might think. In fact, the first patented smokeless tobacco device was created in the early 1960s. In the 1980s, R.J. Reynolds tobacco produced Premiers, a smokeless cigarette. However, most consumers disliked the taste of these cigarettes. The first electronic cigarette was produced in 2003 by a Chinese pharmacist, and the industry began to boom.

3. E-Cigs Are Fire Safe & Don't Produce Secondhand Smoke.

It might surprise you to learn that the top cause of residential fires is unattended cigarettes. These fires cause many injuries and deaths each year. However, if you were to smoke E-Cigs instead, you would completely eliminate this danger. E-Cigarettes produce no smoke and don't contain tobacco, instead they produce only a mist or vapor that quickly evaporates. This means they also do not emit dangerous secondhand smoke, and this frees up smokers to enjoy their cigarettes in just about any setting where tobacco products are prohibited.

4. You Can Save Money With Electronic Cigarettes

If you smoke a pack of regular cigarettes every day, the cost can really add up. The average price per pack varies from state to state, ranging from $5 a pack up to as much as $14 per pack. If you live in a state where cigarettes are $5 per pack, this still means you will be spending more than $1,800 per year on cigarettes. When you begin smoking E-Cigs, you will need to purchase a starter kit, which might cost from $30 up to about $75, but even with this upfront cost, the total cost of smoking E-Cigs is around 40% less than tobacco cigarettes.

5. There Are Tons Of Fun Flavor Options

Another advantage of E-Cigs is the taste. There are dozens of interesting flavors to consider. For instance Vype Vapor, a vape shop in Las Vegas, sells more than two dozen different varieties including butterscotch, chocolate mint chip, strawberry, peach and much more. Some have a hint of tobacco flavor, others are a bit like a refreshing summer cocktail, and all are smoke-free and can be used virtually anywhere.
