More than 46 million Americans still smoke, and many who have tried to kick the habit have found quitting it hard. Drug companies have been producing stop smoking aides for many years now. There are nicotine patches, gum, various over the counter and prescription drugs as well. The latest new invention is the green smoke electronic cigarette.
A short review of green smoke electronic cigarettes.
Greensmoke electronic cigarettes have been around since 2006 (a good guess to the best of my knowledge) and is a unique device designed to provide smokers with a healthier option. Although they have not yet been approved by the FDA (as of this article) apparently some folks think they might help to reduce smoking and in fact, quit smoking altogether.
The Green Smoke electronic cigarette delivers the nicotine to the user. Although they haven't been tested yet, one could assume they have far fewer than the 4,000 or so carginogins like regular cigarettes. In addition they look, taste, and feel just like regular cigarettes.
In addition to being less intrusive than traditional cigarettes, is the fact that electronic cigarettes are completely legal. Because green smoke electronic cigarettes do not involve tobacco, you can legally smoke them jsut about anywhere that traditional cigarettes are prohibited such as bars, restaurants, the work place, possibly even on airplanes.
The nice thing about greensmoke as apposed to say, nicotine patches or gum is that e-cigarettes provide the user with the oral hand to mouth fixation that smokers desire, while satisfying their nicotine cravings as well. When you take a drag from an electronic cigarette, you actually feel your lungs fill with a warm tobacco flavored smoke. When you exhale the smoke expells just like regular tobacco smoke. The difference is, greensmoke is actually nothing more than water vapor that quickly evaporates and therefore does not stink or is not offensive to others in your immediate area.
While electronic cigarettes look, feel and taste much like traditional cigarettes, they function in a much different way. Electronic cigarettes do not burn tobacco. Instead, when you inhale the vapor from an e-cigarette, you activate a "flow censor" which releases a water vapor containing nicotine. The user recieves the nicotine along with a little propylene glycol, (a common ingredient found in cakes mixes and other foodstuff). It’s a very ingenious, albeit very simple process that allows the Green Smoke electronic cigarette to deliver the most realistic smoking experience that it does. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make the assumpition that they should be a better alternative that a tobacco cigarette.
GreenSmoke e-cigs offer a unique and patented 2-piece design. Messy liquids and clogged atomizers are not an issue with this brand as it is with others. You just unscrew the filter cartridge, throw it away as you replace it with a new one. Each filter has a fresh and clean atomizer built into it and is equal to about 1 pack of regular cigarettes.
A rechargeable battery (with an LED light at the tip which glows red when you puff) and you can smoke for hours without a recharge.
There are a variety of flavors from chocolate to vanilla as well as traditional tobacco. Strenghts can vary as well. The 16 mg cartridges simulate the strenth of a non filtered tobacco cigarette. Cartridge strengths can be purchased down to filtered, lights, ultra lights as well as 0 nicotine for those trying to wean themselves off nicotine altogheter.
The company name of GreenSmoke indicated that it is environmentally-friendly. We all want to do our part to help our environment stay green. When you GreenSmoke, you are ensuring that there are no stinky cigarette butts, no nasty toxins and no risk of fire should you fall asleep smoking one. GreenSmoke even recycles their cartridges. OneGreen Smoke electronic cigarette can replace thousands of tobacco cigarettes. It is cetain to help in keeping a greener planet.
GreenSmoke seems to be just a tad bit more expensive than a few of the other brands, but the general consensus among users is that the cheap Chinese knockoffs are not worth the cheaper price. Clogged atomizers are a common complaint. With most brands, you only get one atomizer for the life of the product and they get clogged from repeated use. GreenSmoke gives you a new atomizer with every new cartridge. Some say it's a no brainer to go with GreenSmoke's unique and patented two piece design.
