The Physcical Addiction of Nicotine and Cigarette

Saw this article about the physical addiction of nicotine and cigarettes.

Here's the beginning of the article:

Cigarette addiction is a biological and psychological condition that compels a person to satisfy the need for a particular stimulus (in this case nicotine) and to keep satisfying it, no matter what.

A person with a strong cigarette dependency, one who is addicted to cigarettes or nicotine, has a condition that undermines optimal function and drives that person to compulsively use and abuse nicotine despite the negative consequences.

How can you better understand your cigarette dependency? Consider, for example, your morning cup of coffee. It's a strong dependency or addiction much like your nicotine addiction.

All you have to do is skip your first cup of the day, and you will quickly learn about your body's dependence on caffeine. This does not necessarily mean that you are addicted to caffeine, only that your body wants it, and let's you know with that splitting headache that it expects some coffee, and you're not supplying it.

What are e-cigaretttes?

Electronic cigarettes are fast becoming more and more popular, but what are E-cigarettes?

A Smoking Substitute

E-cigs are looked at as a smoking alternative because they don't burn tobacco, they don't smell, and they don't need a light. People sitting near you will say, "It Looks like a cigarette", you'll say, "it feels and tastes like a cigarette." But it's not a cigarette. Here's how E-cigarettes work:

An electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is an electrical device that attempts to simulate the act of tobacco smoking by producing an inhaled mist bearing the physical sensation, appearance, and often the flavor and nicotine content of inhaled tobacco smoke. The device uses heat, or in some cases ultrasonics, to vaporize a propylene glycol- or glycerin-based liquid solution into an aerosol mist, similar to the way a nebulizer or humidifier vaporizes solutions for inhalation. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette

Smokeless Cigarettes

How E-Cigs work is very similar to the MMJ Vaporizer. E-cigarettes typically consist of a cartridge, an atomizer, and a battery unit. The battery powers the unit, and is typically a rechargeable lithium ion variety. The atomizer, the heart of the system, heats the liquid solution, without burning, into "steam" which can then be inhaled. The cartridge contains your choice of flavor, and a nicotine solution with propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Inhale and exhale vapor, not smoke. Higher quality e-cigarettes will combine the cartridge and atomizer into a single unit nicknamed "cartomizer".

Cigarette Alternative

Many people use tobacco products in many different ways. Some choose chewing tobacco, pipes, or nicotine patches. E-cigarettes are preferred by many as a cigarette substitute because the user gets the physical sensation (which can be as addicting as the nicotine), the social interaction, and the freedom to partake when needed.

E-cigarettes may vary well be the best way to enjoy a smoke. With most brands, you'll save money over traditional cigarettes, smoke in relative peace, smoke without disturbing your friends and neighbors, and have better control over your nicotine habit than with other methods.

How E-cigs work

E-cigarettes are considered smokeless cigarettes because there is no burning tobacco. E-cigs provide the "smoker" with a nicotine and flavored infused vapor. This short article describes how e-cigarettes work.

What are E-Cigarettes? E-cigs typically consist of a cartridge, an atomizer, and a battery unit. The battery powers the unit, and is typically a rechargeable lithium ion variety.

The atomizer, the heart of the system, heats the liquid solution, without burning, into "steam" which can then be inhaled.

The cartridge contains your choice of flavor, and a nicotine solution of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin.

Some manufacturers combine the atomizer and cartridge into a single unit nicknamed, "cartomizer". The combined unit provides two benefits, less parts to fuss with, and a fresh atomizer for each unit.

Once the unit is assembled, simply turn the unit on (or in the case of higher quality units, the system will turn on automatically with each inhale) and inhale vapor. No smoke with this smoking substitute, which makes it one of the more popular cigarette substitutes.

The main feature that makes e-cigarettes one of the more popular cigarette alternatives is the ability to adjust nicotine levels. Some units require that you fill the cartridge while others (especially those with cartomizers) let you buy pre-filled and controlled nicotine levels.

Cigarette substitutes?

Many people choose to quit smoking or consume their nicotine through means other than cigarettes. Some of the more popular cigarette alternatives include: nicotine gum, nicotine patches, chewing tobacco, and smokeless cigarettes like the e-cigarette. This article briefly describes the use of e-cigarettes as a cigarette substitute.

What are E-Cigarettes? E-cigarettes are mini vaporizers that heat a nicotine based solution into a vapor that you can inhale much like a real cigarette. Many e-cigs look like a real cigarette, but do not involve burning tobacco, so there's no smoke, no smell, and a lot less annoyance for your friends and neighbors.

Many people wonder how e-cigarettes work as a smoking substitute. Whether it be as a means to quit smoking, as a means to be more healthy, or as a means to be more "smoking friendly", the e-cigarette has become more and more popular.

Why the e-cigarette as a smoking substitute? The physical act of smoking, is part of the overall smoking addition. Using the e-cigarette allows you to continue the same "muscle memory" without actually having a burning cigarette in your hand.

Most e-cigarettes, especially those with cartomizers, let you adjust the level of nicotine more effectively than traditional cigarettes. Start with a level that you currently smoke, then adjust up or down as you need. Some people even have plans to use e-cigarettes to quit smoking.

Perhaps the biggest feature of e-cigarettes as a cigarette alternative is the ability to consume them almost anywhere. There is no burning tobacco, no smoke, and no smell. Enjoy them with your favorite flavor as well.
