Electronic cigarettes (also known as e-cigarettes) are a relatively new invention that – with recent improvements in the technology – has become quite popular in recent months. The claim is that they look, feel, and taste very similar to regular cigarettes, however rather than burning tobacco, they release a nicotine based water vapor when you inhale. T

The fact that electronic cigarettes do not burn any tobacco means that they are completely legal and can be smoked anywhere that traditional cigarettes are prohibited including bars, restaurants, the workplace; they are even approved by the TSA which means that they can be smoked on airplanes.

And while not technically a smoking cessation product, the fact that you can get the refill cartridges in varying degrees of nicotine offers some obvious benefits to those who would like to avoid the nasty effects of smoking tobacco. In fact, electronic cigarettes do not emit any cancer causing agents which is certainly one of its most significant benefits.

The question of course is, does it work?

I was sent a sample of the black cigarette style E-cigs with a range of nicotine strengths and flavors. I suppose I was expecting to be immediately disappointed however the sleek black design was rather pleasing. It was slightly different looking than a regular cigarette, but not too different, and it gave me what I was looking for regarding that classic smoking experience that is part of the smoking experience.

I was very pleased with the performance of the electronic cigarette. I did find some things to be different, first and foremost was the fact that I needed to apply a tiny but of additional pressure when I took a drag. But not to the degree that it was a turn-off. And while I wouldn’t ever say that the falvor was as good as that of tobacco, it was an exceptable replacement. It was kind of similar to a Hooka. The Menthol Flavor refill cartridge being the closest approximation to a traditional cigarette, and you might find it hard to believe but the strawberry was really quite nice as well.

If you are conserned about the nasty side effects of tobacco, I would have to say that – in my personal opinion – the electronic cigarette is an option worth exploring. And for smoke
