 Tobacco has been popular since a very long time. Even before cigarettes, cigars and pipes existed. The advent and easy availability of cigarettes especially have made smoking easier, wide spread and increased the popularity of tobacco abuse. And, it is not at all surprising to see people falling for the irresistible charm of cigarettes. People who have a penchant for smoking cannot escape the harmful effects it brings with itself.
Smoking cigarettes is very harmful for the lungs of the smokers and for their over all health. It also affects the stamina of a person and also depletes the immunity of the body. Cigarette is a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrocyanic acid, arsenic, nitrogen dioxide and hydragyrum, which are responsible for respiratory problems and lung cancer. In addition, not to forget the harmful effects it has on the environment as it add on to the pollution level by exhaling out these toxic gases into the environment. To combat these problems, filters and light cigarettes were invented. Light cigarettes had less amount of nicotine in them and reduced the amount of tar a smoker
inhaled. Filters on the contrary enhanced the pleasure of smoking rather than reducing the amount of chemicals that reach the lungs of the smoker. The light cigarettes too were not much of a success, as many smokers could not adapt to them and moreover they contain fewer dangerous and hazardous chemicals, they are still enough and capable of causing health and respiratory problems in smokers. Though many smokers still have turned to 'light' and 'ultra light' cigarettes as they are milder and safer for lungs and environment than the strong traditional ones, but still the scientists and health experts maintains that there is only a marginal difference in their composition and does not ensure a safer smoking experience.
Another invention for a safer and healthier way of smoking is Electronic Cigarettes. They seem to be an exact copy or replica of the traditional cigarette, but looks are the only parameter on which they are alike. They are far healthier than their traditional counterparts, which have tobacco stuffed in them. Instead of harmful tobacco and nicotine ingredients, they contain flavours like menthol. These cigarettes are smoke free and ensure that no harm is done to the environment. In addition, they do not even leave behind any kind of residue like ash or stubs. With no buds to dispose these are recyclable in nature. Many people are psychologically addicted to the practice of inhaling and exhaling the smoke. So if you find it hard to butt the stub, these are good way of fooling your narcotic addiction and tobacco pangs and cravings.
Other advantages of these eco friendly and healthy cigarettes over the traditional cigarettes are as follows:
1. Comparatively cheaper than the traditional ones.
2. Contains state-of-the-art micro-electronic technology.
3. Contains disposable nicotine cartridges.
4. Excellent means for smoking without getting banned.
5. Are rechargeable.
