Electronic Cigarettes: Now Available Online
They are already in use in several pubs across the UK. Now one company is making E-cigarettes available online.
Gower Entreprises is selling the smokeless electronic cigarette via their website www.QuitSmokingAid.co.uk. The e-cigarettes contain liquid nicotine, which is vaporized when the smoker inhales. When blown out from the smoker’s mouth, the vapour resembles smoke.
Sales Director Jean Rasbridge believes the E-cigarette has several advantages over other quit smoking aids.
“Smokers face two challenges when giving up the habit. One is dealing with the withdrawal symptoms caused by cutting down or quitting nicotine. The other is dealing with the habit of smoking.
“During trials we ran prior to entering the market, our users reported that it was an advantage to have something to do with their hands while they were cutting down on the nicotine. They also felt that having an instant ‘hit’ of nicotine on demand was more advantageous than the continuous supply of nicotine supplied by nicotine patches.”
The Electronic Cigarettes are not harmless. With the exception of the zero strength cartridges, they involve inhaling nicotine, which is a harmful substance in its own right.
However, the Electronic Cigarette has no tobacco or tar, and has none of the 4000 additional chemicals that can be found in traditional cigarettes. The chemicals that have been cut out of the E-cigarette include formaldehyde, which is used to preserve dead bodies, and arsenic.
“The Electronic Cigarette will not make you magically stop,” said Jean Rasbridge. “You have to want to stop. But as part of a nicotine cessation programme, it could definitely help!”
