Above all the habits that the human race has been caught up into, one bad habit which is eventually the hardest to break causes more deaths than any other in the whole world. Smoking has and always been one of the greatest problems of society, heavily linked to causing cancers and various diseases, cigarette smokers are still growing in numbers rapidly. Nicotine found in conventional cigarette is one of the culprits of the addiction. Nicotine addiction has been said to be the hardest addiction to break. The substance is primarily found in a certain family of plants which includes tobacco thus leading it to be one of the causes of cigarette smoking addiction since tobacco is the primary ingredient in cigarette.
It may be hard to believe but almost eighty percent of addicted smokers are willing to quit their habits. We all know what dangers cigarettes cause to everyone involved not only to the smokers but especially to the people who are able to inhale the fumes that smokers produce through second hand smoking. With huge numbers of diseases and deaths heavily linked to smoking, no wonder smokers want out of this habit yet through all their efforts only five percent out of the eighty percent of smokers who want to quit are successful and are able to quit the habit entirely.
This phenomenon is due to the cause of nicotine. Nicotine acts as a stimulant and a relaxant, with each puff of cigarette (tobacco) nicotine is carried within the smoke and induced into the lungs of the smoker, from there it then enters into the bloodstream eventually leading it into the human brain. It is there where the nicotine starts to affect smokers psychologically. Just after 10-20 seconds, depending on the kind of cigarette or tobacco and the filters the smoker uses. It is then that nicotine starts its effects. It will then react to different receptors causing euphoria and relaxation which then lead to addiction. Most smokers experience a relaxed, calm and alert feeling after smoking and like any other stimulant nicotine is very addictive and resembles to the addiction of illegal drugs like morphine, cocaine and even alcohol.
Although nicotine is not that much of a danger to human health, it is the way smokers induce the substance that is more problematic, since combustion or burning fumes in the cigarette creates tar and obtains a vast number of harmful chemicals and agents, even carcinogens, which are identified to be directly involved in causing cancer comes together with the smoke in conventional cigarettes into the smokers body. Like a kid eating a dirty candy, smokers only care about their dose of nicotine more than anything and not the negative substances that come by inducing it through smoking cigarettes.
Thus, the alternative in form of electric cigarettes is such a great invention to aid with the ongoing problem with addiction to smoking because not only that it gives the nicotine load to e-cog smokers but it also resembles the same sensation and even the smoke vapor that is produced when smoking a conventional cigarette, making it the best choice for smokers who want to stay healthy and not sacrifice the addiction to nicotine.
