As smoking laws place more limitations on when and where one can smoke, electronic or e-cigarettes as they’re occasionally called, are turning into the preferred alternative, offering smokers the chance to cut back on the dangerous chemicals that they breathe and emit while successfully avoiding prosecution from the vicious anti-smoking laws that overcome today.

“Tobacco cigarettes are not only harmful to the smoker”, says Ridwaan Ismail of Health-e-Cigarettes, a local company that has launched its electronic cigarette this year. “They are proven to be harmful to those inhaling the secondary smoke. On the other hand, e-cigarettes are not harmful to those around you, and significantly reduce the damage caused to the smoker by cutting out all carcinogenic substances.”

“Tobacco cigarettes aren’t only damaging to the smoker,” claims Ridwaan Ismail of Health-e-Cigarettes, a local company which has launched its electronic cigarette this year.

On the other hand, e-cigarettes are not damaging to those around you, and noticeably scale back the damage caused to the smoker by cutting out all carcinogenic substances.” Rather than manufacturing smoke from combustion, the electronic cigarette produces vapour. This vapour is made from liquid containing nicotine in the electronic cigarette. Both odourless and dull, the vapour is neither poisonous nor damaging as a secondary smoke, making it safe to smoke in all public places.

The new laws will prevent smokers from smoking in partially enclosed public areas, as well as smoking near children under the age of 18 years in an attempt to protect children from the harmful effects of second hand smoke. Some countries have even gone as far as banning people form smoking in their own cars when children are present.

“The nearly 4 000 chemical substances including Arsenic, cyanide and other carcinogenic agents, contained in tobacco cigarettes are not present in the e-cigarette, thus billing it as the `Healthy Alternative’” says Ismail.

Some nations have even gone so far as banning people form smoking in their own vehicles when youngsters are present. The cartridges employed in the device, unlike tobacco butts, are also completely reusable as they’re made virtually completely of a recycled plastic, this mixed with the non-toxic smoke make the e-cigarette a far more environmentally-friendly product.
