06 May 09 Do E-Cigarettes Help You Quit Smoking?

Quitting smoking is oftentimes described as one of the hardest things you would ever have to do, which is likely why most people put off quitting much longer than they should, further damaging their body beyond repair. Although not all would seem to be against you in your bid to stop smoking, as new technology is developed everyday to ease that pain and trouble of quitting. Take E-Cigarettes for example, they seem like a fantastic alternative for smokers to pollute their body and the environment around them less, while slowly quitting the habit altogether at the same time.

And just in case you don’t yet know about them, e-cigarettes are electronic devices usually designed to look like a cigarette. They replicate the feel of smoking through an LED light at the end of the cigarette, and odorless vapor that looks like smoke that is also released, creating the illusion of smoking. E-cigarettes also have a cartridge at the end where you would inhale that allows you to intake nicotine from the e-cigarette, but none of the other toxins normally found in cigarettes. Therefore being a ‘healthier’ alternative to regular smoking, as well as calming your nicotine cravings.

You are also afforded the ability to change how much nicotine is output by your e-cigarette by changing which type of cartridge you use. Using less nicotine you could effectively use an e-cigarette to lessen your nicotine dependency slowly, until your body was no longer addicted. The only problem is that there is no conclusive evidence that says e-cigarettes are all that helpful to those trying to quit smoking, in the long run.

The problem with e-cigarettes is that you’re still inhaling nicotine, which on it’s own is still awful for your lungs. Well, inhaling practically anything besides air is pretty much bad for your lungs. Sure you’re not getting all the cigarette toxins, but you’re still getting one of the most dangerous and addictive quantities in a purer form. Which is actually why e-cigarettes can lead to nicotine addiction or dependency in practically as many cases as cigarettes.

Which is why you’re likely better off choosing from some of the already FDA approved methods of quitting smoking. Such as nicotine gum, or patches. Although in the end it’s just you, and your willpower that can beat something like cigarette addiction. Which is why if you really want to quit, the first step is as simple as knowing that you really want to quit, and then being determined enough to do so.
