Christie@News8Today, is our Health Investigator reporting on health trends in Amercia.

H ave you heard of the "Electronic Cigarette"? If you haven't and you're a smoker, read carefully and prepare to be floored! The Electronic Cigarette, or E-Cigarette for short, looks like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, and tastes like a cigarette, but there's something very different about it--it's a much healthier way to smoke, without the actual smoke! This high-tech electronic smoking device provides the nicotine cigarette smokers crave, with none of the chemicals and tar that comes from your typical cigarette. There's no smoke odor, no ash, and no second-hand smoke. Bad breath and yellow teeth are a thing of the past.

Too good to be true? It seems not. E-Cigarettes have recently become available in large quantities in the U.S. earlier this year and have made quite a splash. In fact, smokers worldwide are raving about how amazing these new 21st century cigarettes really are. So much so that they are being touted as a "must have" for all smokers and will probably soon be topping the list of gift ideas for that special smoker in your life.

Personal Success Story: Julie Thomson, a mother of three from Ohio, was an avid smoker for over 30 years. Over the years, her dependency on traditional cigarettes grew into a major health hazard and Julie, desperate for an alternative, tried many different things to keep from lighting up--over the counter medications, nicotine gum, nicotine patches, and even hypnosis. Julie decided to try one last product that came highly recommended by one of her friends and that's when she started using the E-Cigarette, a product that has changed her life. Julie was able to reduce her reliance on real cigarettes by utilizing the realistic smoking action of these highly effective smoking substitution products. These E-Cigarettes are rapidly gaining popularity among those who wish to continue the sensation of smoking without the harmful side effects of traditional cigarettes. More Stories Available Here

How Does The E-Cigarette Work?

The E-Cigarette utilizes sophisticated state of the art micro-electronic technology. A very small in line vaporizer turns the liquid inside the E-Cigarette into an atomized smoke mist. The E-Cigarettes are fully re-chargeable and each can last a full day on one single charge. Cartridge flavors and nicotine levels vary according to users' taste.

The newest E-Cigarettes have the look and feel of traditional cigarettes, and release a flavored, simulated-smoke vapor instead of actual harmful smoke like a real cigarette. What these new millennium cigarettes don't have is all of the chemicals, toxins and carcinogens found in real cigarettes.

For many, the allure of the E-Cigarette lies in the nicotine vapor it produces. As one smoker put it, "It's awesome that there's no bad second-hand smoke to worry about, just the vapor, which can hardly be detected by anybody else. The nicotine in the vapor takes the edge right off of my cigarette cravings so I don't have to take 10 smoke breaks a day at work. I can actually just sit at my desk, take a puff of the e-cig and relax until my lunch break. I'm not wasting my 15 minute breaks anymore like before. It comes in handy at restaurants and at home too because my wife can't stand the smoke from real cigarettes. I can actually get a kiss after a few puffs of this, which is something that never happens after I smoke a real cigarette."

Since E-Cigarettes don't burn tobacco or produce ash like a traditional cigarette, they are not restricted by smoking laws and are completely legal to use indoors in restaurants, bars, etc.

"E-Cigarette smokers still get their nicotine," explains Elicko, a serial entrepreneur and Smoking Everywhere Founder & CEO, "without having to suffer many of the other negative side effects of tobacco smoking. There are absolutely no carcinogenic substances and no tar. Ordinary cigarettes contain some 4,000 different chemical substances. They pollute the air, and they are hazardous to the health of others - including small children - who breathe the dangerous secondhand smoke. We are really looking to supply E-Cigarettes to numerous leading casinos and clubs, and open E-Cigarette stores in majors malls around the country. We just want to get the word out.


The development of the electronic cigarette has been underway since the late '90s, but only recently have these nifty little "life savers" been available, thanks to some major technological advancements.

  • The rate of cancer is three times higher in smokers than in non smokers.
  • In North America tobacco is the cause of about half of all male deaths from cancer in middle-age and one-third in all age groups. Lung cancer related to tobacco use kills more women in North America each year than breast cancer.
  • Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to young children. Secondhand smoke is responsible for between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in infants and children under 18 months of age, resulting in between 7,500 and 15,000 hospitalizations each year, and causes 430 sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) deaths in the United States annually.
  • Twenty-three states - Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, Utah, and Vermont as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have passed laws prohibiting smoking in almost all public places and workplaces, including restaurants and bars.


We went to the VaporPak website and actually found that contrary to what we would've thought, the E-Cigarette not only helps to save smokers' lives, but it also can save smokers money. Pack-a-day smokers could save more than nine hundred dollars annually by switching to VaporPak E-Cigarettes. That's enough for a small vacation. Over the course of twenty five years, E-Cigarettes can save a smoker more than twenty thousand dollars, enough to buy a brand new car.

With the health benefits, absence of unpleasant side effects like smoke odors, stained teeth and bad breath, and the savings, it's no wonder these E-Cigarettes have taken off.
