Are you riding the fence? Undecided about switching to an e cigarette? Wondering if will be a waste of time and money?

Let me help with some personal observations I have made since converting to an electronic cigarette 2 years ago. Here are my top 5 e cigarette benefits:

1) "Ewww! Where's the smoker, I know there's one around?" I notice a person half a block away smoking a cigarette outside his office. Later, I smell smokers coming back from lunch break and cannot believe I once smelled as bad. Yup, e cig vapor is odorless and does not leave a taste in your mouth when used. Great not to reek anymore and this benefits you, your family, clothes, car, home, office, bed, etc.

2) Real tobacco cigarettes have over 40 carcinogens (you know, cancer-causing toxins.) E cigarettes have NONE.

3) Tobacco smokers know nicotine cravings can flare up at certain times. While drinking coffee or libations, and after eating are common catalysts to light up. Well, an e cigarette promptly satisfies your body's nicotine addiction. One of the first things I did when I bought an e cigarette (granted, now, I'm a skeptic) was to take it out with my wife on a night on the town. Sure enough, I was able to go the whole night without smoking a real cigarette. I was convinced.

4) The taste. There are tons of different e cigarette juice flavors to choose from - everything from tobacco, pipe, and cigar flavors to fruit and drinks flavors. I admit, I never smoked a real cigarette because I loved the taste or smell. Let's see....there's mango, kiwi, strawberry, cherry, apple, banana, coconut, pineapple, orange, melon, gooseberry, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, cream, espresso, red bull, mountain dew, tropical punch, clove, menthol, almond...ok, ok, you get my point. I am impressed with my options and enjoy "vaping" simply for the taste.

5) Last, but not least, your psychological addiction is satisfied. Just as your body has developed a nicotine dependency, so has your psyche. Why do so many people fail at quitting smoking? Why are nicotine patches or gum or pills not more successful? There are many reasons why, but I think most are psychologically related (I'm no doctor or scientist, just my opinion here.) Well, since you are using a similar-looking replacement, that produces vapor which you inhale, and delivers nicotine, your psychological craving to smoking is fulfilled. Personally, the transition was seemless and I couldn't notice any difference while using an e cigarette.

Hopefully this article has answered questions you may have about e cigarette benefits. Go ahead and take a chance. What do you have to lose? (except maybe a bad smell, a bad taste, cancerous toxins, health, etc.)
