Why are you still Smoking?

So, why are you still smoking again?

The smoking ban came into play in Summer 2007 and we have so quickly got used to pubs and restaurants being smoke free. It seems light-years ago when we used to leave bars stinking of smoke from head to toe, without even having to touch a cigarette yourself.

For most, the Smoking ban has been a great step forward but for some, the smoking ban has meant standing out in the cold and rain puffing away frantically on your own.

Smokers have become more and more excluded in public and this has led to many wanting to quit the habit permanently so as to be socially included again. But to those who have spent years of their life smoking, it is very difficult to break the habit even with a lot of will power. A new product which is making its way into mainstream quit smoking solutions is the electronic cigarette.

The electronic cigarette is an inhaler which looks like a cigarette, and feels like a cigarette, but doesn’t contain tar or carbon monoxide (amongst the thousands of other chemicals) which regular cigarettes have.

This makes it immediately healthier from the first use whilst still delivering the kick of nicotine required by your body. It means you are in control of your intake and can smoke in a healthier way from the start. The good thing about this inhaler is that the vapour that is emitted is totally harmless and odourless, so it can be used in public and will not disturb anyone nearby.

Another advantage is that the financial burden of buying packs of cigarettes can be lifted. The electronic cigarette works on refills and one refill can last twenty cigarettes. All in all electronic cigarettes can help smokers to be sensible and in control whilst quitting their habit, allowing you to get on with the more important things in life!
