Smoking tobacco has been enjoyed for many years by people. For many years it was the symbol of social standing and people smoked to look rich and sophisticated and luxurious. With the growing importance and presence in fashion, smoking has become a very sophisticated trend. But with the recent studies showing the ill effects of smoking and the harm it causes to the second hand smokers, the trend has now reversed and more and more people are trying to quit. As the market for products that help people quit smoking increased, new technology has been introduced into the process: e-cigarettes.
The electronic cigarette is something that is used as a replacement for the existing cigarettes. It is a battery run device that can be recharged for usage. It doesn't contain any tobacco and contains nicotine. So it produces the same flavor as that of traditional cigarette but doesn't have its usual carcinogenic contents. Clearly, due to the lack of tobacco, the electronic cigarette cannot exactly taste the same as its traditional counterpart but it can wean off its habit in the most effective manner and help the smoker get rid of the habit.

There were, historically, many ways available to curb addiction to smoking. These included nicotine patches, nicorette, sticks, lollipops, and even hypnosis. These maybe effective for some people, but most of the chain smokers found it very difficult to quit inspite of these solutions. In 2003, a researcher at a Chinese company, invented the electronic cigarette. Soon they were exporting it to the other countries and last year, the sales surged to a maximum as the world tried move away from the harm smoking could cause.

While a lot of countries have opened up towards the technology. Electronic cigarettes are not very popular in some countries as they haven't really been declared safe by their respective governments. Despite a lot of scientific claims that this is safer than smoking, some authorities believe it might glorify smoking. The carcinogens present in electronic cigarettes are in trace amounts and in the same amount as in other alternatives like the nicorette and the nicotine patch.
The e-cigarette is indeed a great way to stop smoking and has been scientifically proven effective. The side effects observed are not as dire as the ones in smoking and are merely caused by the nicotine consumption which we are exposed to even with beverages like tea and coffee. Although there isn't scientific research to claim it decreases the addiction, the number of success stories posted online speaks for itself. There have been stories of people getting released from the addiction when at the heights of their addiction they smoked around 60 sticks a day!

Thus, invention of the electronic cigarette has been one of biggest developments in the field of health and wellbeing in many years. So irrespective of what the pessimists say, these new versions of the old stick are the ones that will turn a word full of smokers into a tobacco free world.
