Electronic cigarettes offer low-risk option to tobacco

Veronica Sanchez

Electronic cigarettes are a revolutionary advance in science that are designed to change the way people smoke. They offer an alternative for smokers who would like to quit without giving up the sensation of smoking.

The device looks, tastes, feels and acts the same as cigarette but does not burn tobacco, so it can be used anywhere.

Electronic cigarettes utilize special and cheaper nicotine that is saving loads of cash for many people, while allowing them to avoid the health risks associated with smoking.

It is a simple design: each electronic cigarette has a battery, an atomizer and a cartridge filled with liquid nicotine.

When inhaled, a device is switched that sends a signal to a heating element inside of the unit, giving people the full effect of smoking.

Depending on the kit, batteries last approximately one full day with normal use, before they need to be charged.

“It is amazing the way it has changed my life, I used to smoke a package of cigarettes per day and now I only use the electronic cigarette two times a week,” said MCC student Monica Martinez.

“It is wonderful because I can use it anywhere I am at any time,” she added.
