The electric cigarette consists of three components; the battery, the cartridge and the atomizer, which vaporizes liquid nicotine.  There are several versions of the electric cigarette.  There are versions that look similar to traditional tobacco cigarettes, pen style, pipes, screwdrivers, cigars, and even one that looks somewhat like a harmonica.

The battery life varies from model to model, however, the longer the electric cigarette, the longer the battery, and battery life.  There are also models that will connect to your USB drive on your computer, as well as USB adapters, allowing you to use your electric cigarette, without running down battery.

When you are converting from “analog” or traditional tobacco cigarettes, to the electric cigarettes, you will need to consider your current nicotine intake.  This will help you in deciding which strength liquid nicotine you should purchase.  The liquid nicotine is available in several strengths, as well as flavors.  You can go with the traditional Marlboro and Camel cigarette flavors, however, you can also choose the flavor of your nicotine vapor.  You are no longer trapped in the stale tobacco flavor world.  You can now get your nicotine fix, with the flavors of strawberry, cherry, peach, butterscotch, banana, apple, watermelon, even peanut butter!  If you prefer, you also have the option of no flavor at all.  The only thing you need is the nicotine, it really doesn’t matter what flavor it’s delivered in.

New research shows that smoking bans spare many children with asthma from being hospitalized, a finding that suggests smoke-free laws have even greater health benefits than previously believed.

Other studies have charted the decline in adult heart attack rates after smoking bans were adopted. The new study, conducted in Scotland, looked at asthma-related hospitalizations of kids, which fell 13 percent a year after smoking was barred in 2006 from workplaces and public buildings, including bars and restaurants. Before the ban, admissions had been rising 5 percent a year in Scotland, which has a notoriously poor health record among European countries. Earlier U.S. studies, in Arizona and Kentucky, reached similar conclusions.

But this was the largest study of its kind – and offered the strongest case that smoking bans can bring immediate health improvements for many people.
