Health Benefits of E-Cigarettes

 Goodbye, Smoker’s Cough. The first health benefit many smoker’s notice after
switching to “vaping” (using an e-cigarette) is that the persistent cough disappears.
The hideous ritual of hocking up phlegm and ravaging your throat every morning
finally comes to an end. This is because the cacophony of toxins present in cigarette
smoke damages the back of your throat, leading to a build-up of mucus. Because
e-cigarettes contain no toxins, the cough will disappear.

 Improved Taste. It has long been assumed based on anecdotal evidence that
smoking diminishes your sense of taste, and research has since confirmed this link. It
seems that cigarette smoke flattens your taste buds, reducing their sensitivity. When
you stop smoking and start vaping, your circulation improves (see below), thus
allowing the body to repair itself. The result: much tastier food.

 Breathe Easy. Unsurprisingly, the gang of carcinogens and toxins present in

tobacco cigarettes are what give your lungs a hard time. Specifically, hydrogen
cyanide prevents your lungs from clearing themselves out in the ordinary way. The
toxins also cause your lungs to swell, which constricts the flow of air. With electronic
cigarettes, there is no hydrogen cyanide and no toxins, so your lungs can repair
themselves.

 Better Circulation. Carbon monoxide is one of the most damaging substances

found in cigarettes, and it basically wreaks its havoc by basically stealing the place of
oxygen within the blood. By binding to the hemoglobin, it prevents as much oxygen
getting to your vital organs.

 No Second Hand Risk. One of the most upsetting elements of the dangers of
smoking is the risk it poses to other people in the vicinity. Because e-cigs don’t create
a side-stream from the tip and don’t contain the dangerous toxins you’ll find in
cigarette smoke, there is absolutely minimal risk to those in the same room. So you
can enjoy nicotine without the guilt.

Financial Benefits of E-Cigs

 Cheaper than Cigarettes. If you compare the nicotine content of an e-cigarette
cartridge with that of cigarettes, you’ll find that you get around 20 cigarettes per
cartridge. Packs of five cartridges only cost about twice as much (in some states,
roughly the same) as a pack of cigarettes, so the savings are evident. For the cost of
20-40 tobacco cigarettes’ worth of nicotine, you can get the equivalent of 100 with
e-cigs. Starter kits cost around $60 (some are cheaper, of course), but that’s a
one-off purchase which is quickly recouped through other savings.

 Cheaper Life Insurance. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death, so it

drives up the cost of your life insurance. Using an e-cig is vaping, not smoking, and
the lack of associated dangers makes for cheaper insurance.

Social Benefits of E-Cigarettes

 No Smell. You won’t stink of cigarette smoke anymore. If anything, e-cigarettes

smell faintly of the flavor in the cartridge and nothing else. No musty clothes,
smoke-sodden furniture or bad breath.

 No Ash. Since there is no combustion with e-cigs, you don’t need an ashtray and
you won’t make a mess. Likewise, there are no butts to constantly dispose of.

 Stay Inside. E-cigarettes don’t create smoke, and are therefore exempt from the
vast majority of smoking bans. No more standing outside a bar in the rain to get your
nicotine.

 No Accidental Burns. There is no fire with e-cigarettes, so the days when an

errant ember destroys a friend’s carpet are long gone.
