Electronic Cigarette to help Quit Smoking

An electronic cigarette is a device that is created to mimic the actions of smoking without any toxic smoke being inhaled.  Normal cigarettes work by burning tobacco smoke and other harmful substances that are rolled up in paper.  People inhale the smoke through a filter attached to the rolled up tobacco.  Smokers get used to a feeling of lungs filled with smoke and become addicted to the nicotine that is added to cigarettes.

The electronic cigarette works by using a heating element to vaporize a solution of nicotine that is stored inside the device.  This vapor is inhaled as a replacement for smoking.  Since the vapour is atomized liquid, it is said to be much less harmful than the toxic smoke that comes from normal cigarettes.  The electronic cigarette replaces the sensation of smoking as well as the bodies need for nicotine and may be a viable alternative to people trying stop smoking.
