  • Some consider it a wonderful invention others
    look on them with concern. At first they were
    seen as a tool for the cessation of smoking, but
    over the years have become increasingly
    considered as a substitute to actually quitting.
    When they first arrived on the market it was
    believed by most people that it was a sure fire
    way of stopping smoking and most health
    organizations welcomed them as an easy way for
    people to break the habit. Unfortunately, that
    didnt prove to be the case. An artificial
    substitute for inhaling nicotine is just that, a
    replacement or displacement of the craving, but
    doesnt actually stop the addiction. That isnt
    to say that some people did have success breaking
    their habits by using electronic cigarettes, but
    it is more due to will power than any
    make-believe cigarettes.

The Invention of Smoking Cessation E-Cigarette
  • First invented by a Mr Herbert Gilbert back in
    1963 the interest in it as a commercial venture
    petered out around 1967. It wasnt until the year
    2000 that a Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik, designed
    the e-cigarette that we know today. They entered
    the Chinese domestic market in 2004. Between
    2005-2006 they started being exported all around
    the world. Also known as the electric inhaler or
    personal vaporizer. Basically, it vaporizes e
    liquid nicotine solution by heating it until it
    becomes an aerosol type spray that can be
    inhaled. Manufactured to look like a cigarette it
    has four basic parts. The cartridge is the part
    that you put into your mouth and also acts as
    liquid reservoir. The atomizer is the heating
    coil that warms the liquid and turns it into
    vapour. Together, they are also called the
    cartomizer. Lastly, the battery, which is very
    small, made of lithium and can be recharged

  • The liquid used in these e-cigarettes consist of
    a tiny amount of nicotine concentrate mixed with
    a solution of glycol or glycerine, which is also
    flavoured. Glycol and glycerine are the most
    commonly used solutions with which the nicotine
    is diluted, but other chemicals can be used.
    Because of the chemicals used, there has been
    concern over replacing one set of harmful
    chemicals with another. There have been some
    potentially dangerous chemicals found in some
    electronic cigarette brands. The health debate
    continues.

  • The World Health Organization has claimed that
    there are no effective studies that prove that
    they are safe and effective in reducing smoking.
    There has also been some concern over the
    chemicals used in them. Other studies differ. The
    American F.D.A., although it doesnt condemn them
    outright, it does discourage their use, claiming
    that there isnt enough evidence in their favour.
  • As you would expect, the Electronic Cigarette
    Association doesnt agree. They point to a study
    carried out by the Boston University Public
    Health Unit which claims they found traces of
    harmful carcinogens lower than a thousand times
    the level of ordinary cigarettes and that there
    is little to be concerned about. The Canadian
    authorities have banned them, believing their
    harmlessness hasnt been proved.
  • The United Kingdom prefers the use of the
    e-cigarette to trying to quit alone. They believe
    that nicotine patches and e-cigarettes all help
    smokers stop. While the debate rages, more and
    more people are turning to e-cigarettes as a
    healthier alternative to smoking.
