Tobacco smoking has exceptionally deep roots in the modern society. This practice dates back to several centuries ago. Tobacco smoking became a very honorable practice in the nineteenth century. The cigar was smoked by influential people. These personalities included royal families and the elite.

During this age, the extent of tobaccos adverse effects had not been established. The culture of smoking was imported into the modern society. This cultural inheritance has undergone various evolutionary trends until it took the current form. 

In recent years, the severity of the adverse effects of smoking tobacco has been established. The adverse effects are massively linked to nicotine present in the tobacco smoke. This led to the proposition of a new device that would take the shape and form of common cigarettes.  This would help satisfy the craving for tobacco smoke by smokers while reducing the adverse effects. This idea was presented in 1963 by Herbert A. Gill. Owing to the technological limitations during the mid-twentieth century, the bright idea could not be implemented.

However in the year 2003, Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist invented the modern Electronic Cigarette. This is a device that is used as an alternative to smoking tobacco. This device is mostly electronic. It uses electronic technology to produce a vapor that is closely similar to tobacco smoke. This satiates the desire of a smoker for tobacco smoke.

Nevertheless, the vapor that is produced by the Electronic cigarette varies to some degree from tobacco smoke. The major difference between the two is their composition. Tobacco smoke is very rich in nicotine. Nicotine is the substance that is responsible for the majority of health risks associated with cigarette smoking. The Electronic Cigarette vaporizes propylene glycol. This organic compound produces similar feelings to the smoker. Conversely, the vapor does not propagate the health risks linked to nicotine.

Scientific research on Electronic cigarettes has been carried out by professionals from different institutions. Though there have been various arguments about the safety of the e-cigar, it has been established to be far safer than tobacco based cigarettes. 

The electronic cigarette has been recommended to smokers by various scientists. It is the ultimate substitute since it provides completely similar effects to the smoker. The vapor from the device matches with the appearance and sensation of tobacco smoke. Nonetheless, e-cigars have a variety of flavors. This is identical with tobacco cigarettes. 

The similarity of the sensations from the vapor and tobacco smoke creates a perfect platform for cessation of tobacco smoking. It would be extremely difficult for an inpidual to notice the difference between the tobacco smoke and the vapor from the e-cigar.

Tobacco smokers who switch to electronic cigarettes reduce their chances of suffering from the medical conditions associated with tobacco smoke. The e-cigar is portable just like the normal tobacco cigarette. This ensures that an inpidual can ‘smoke’ conveniently. 

On top of their portability, e-cigars are reusable. This property out does most tobacco based cigarettes. Inpiduals who are addicted to tobacco smoking should try using e-cigars. They provide a perfect gateway into smoking cessation.
