You're at your favorite

restaurant, enjoying a meal. A
diner at the next table is puffing on
a cigarette, letting out a cloud of
smoke. Because smoking isn't
allowed in the restaurant, you're
thinking about asking the smoker
to put the cigarette out. But before
you protest, consider this: Your
neighbor may not be smoking at
all.

Electronic cigarettes, also

known as smokeless cigarettes, e-
cigarettes, or e-cigs, are an
alternative method of consuming
nicotine, the addictive chemical
found in tobacco. Manufacturers
often design e-cigarettes to look
like regular cigarettes, but they
contain no tobacco and don't
require a match -- or any flame at
all.

An e-cigarette is a battery-
powered device that converts liquid nicotine into a mist, or vapor, that the user inhales. There's
no fire, no ash and no smoky smell. E-cigarettes do not contain all of the harmful chemicals
associated with smoking tobacco cigarettes, such as carbon monoxide and tar.

Lighting a traditional cigarette causes the tobacco to burn, releasing smoke that contains
nicotine. The user breathes in the smoke to deliver nicotine to the lungs. An electronic cigarette
doesn't rely on this process of combustion. Instead, it heats a nicotine liquid and converts the
liquid to a vapor, or mist, that the user inhales.

E-cigarette users inhale the way they would with a regular cigarette. This inhalation
activates the atomizer to heat the liquid in the cartridge and convert the liquid to a vapor.
Inhaling this vapor through the mouthpiece delivers nicotine to the lungs, and the user exhales
vapor that looks much like a cloud of cigarette smoke.

Manufacturers and satisfied customers say the e-cigarette is a healthier alternative to

tobacco cigarettes, which cause millions of deaths every year. Some users say e-cigs have helped
reduce their "smoker's cough," sharpened their senses of taste and smell, and even improved their
sleep.

The reason why a Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik, invented the first generation e-cigarette
in 2003 because he sees e-cigarettes as a safer and cleaner way to inhale nicotine as a tobacco
cessation resource, after his father passed away from lung cancer. The death of the father’s
inventor and the good sides of e-cigarettes may considered be reasons for the inventor’s
historical antecedent, since we often create things because of the urge of someone or something
that is very close to us.

Before this ends, my drawing shows a fisting hand while holding an e-cigarette. It tells us
that holding to the new version of cigarettes will remind us to leave things that are harmful to us.
Let us swift to the e-cigarette to have a healthy and long life, and to have more time with the
people we dearly love.
