Non-burning e-cigarettes!
Yeah like many of thousands you won’t know what these e-cigarettes are. Chinese people seem to hate the joy of real things and hence they have come up with an electronics cigarette which produces nicotine in form of vapor and which works on batteries. I agree electronics things have made our lives easier – e-mails, e-books, e-pads – and now e-cigarettes!
Electronics cigarettes named as “Ruyan Cigarettes” are an invention of Golden Dragon Group Ltd's which is a Chinese company. These cigarettes need no fire to produce smoke; they work on battery and produce vapors which are inhaled. These have one benefit that the vapors have no tar in them, so the tar is no more inhaled which is good for your health. They are very expensive – they cost around $210. They are not available right now in US but they are available in Chine, Israel, Turkey and a couple of European countries. They look same like actual real cigarette and you won’t even recognize an e-smoker (hey that’s called a good coining of a word! Smoker who smokes e-cigarettes is an e-smoker!) that he is actually e-smoking and not smoking. The cigarette though effective to reduce tar to enter your body I feel is not as satisfying experience as compared to the one we get smoking real cigarettes. Although the company claims that its an attempt to help people who are trying to quit smoking I think its just another statement used for marketing because there are many other nice things which can be done if they really want to help community trying to quit smoking. One more thing, the e-smokers have reported that they have faced severe problems with the battery and they claim that the battery is fine only for about 6-7 weeks and after that let how ever and any number of times you charge it doesn’t get recharged. So I think Golden Dragon Group has some work to do yet.
Apart from all this I genuinely feel that the reason why we smoke is the joy behind smoking, the zeal, the satisfaction and the miraculous mood we get in after smoking rather than anything else and electronic cigarettes certainly take away all these from smoking activity! If all these things are not there then my very first and very basic question is why smoke? Smoking without its joy is just like a girl without great boobs. Either you enjoy the real cigarettes, enter the world of ultimate satisfaction or else quit smoking altogether.
Six reasons why smoking is so popular?
Let me think when was the last day I didn’t see anyone smoking. Hmm…umm... it was never! Daily I see so many people, so many! Businessman, a truck driver, ice-cream seller, even teenagers, school going kids, everyone in parties and in social meetings – every one smoke. They feel good while smoking… they feel they are becoming known to the world, they give great poses with a cigar in hand for photographs. I always wondered why is smoking so popular?
Reason 1: Fun and Style : Don’t you think smoking today is becoming an activity of teenagers rather than the grown-ups? So what does matter the most in this age? Attention! Yes that’s what kids, teenagers are trying every moment. Attention of the world, attention of sexy girls, attention of everyone. Smoking gives them this opportunity. It’s fun to smoke – you get a great feeling when tobacco starts affecting your nervous system, and you do it with style. Yes, you are more attractive when the smoke makes its way with spiral formations from your pink lips.
Reason 2: Good Publicity: I am not talking about your publicity; I am talking about publicity of the cigarettes. There is so much advertising these days of about almost everything – a baby’s diaper to the dog’s food, then why not cigarettes? Great advertisements and even celebrities keep the idea alive. Cigarette always has been in media, through news or advertisements adding to its popularity. TV advertisements affect us a lot and the way cigarettes are presented, through the punch lines or say through the celebrities, what ever the way may be has a lot of effect on the image cigarette and smoking has in society.
Reason 3: No restrictions: Moving towards some serious reasons now. Smoking can be done almost anywhere you wish. Just think for a moment if smoking would have been banned or restricted in some of the places of social meet then a lot would have happened. Indirectly the smoking activity would have a restriction and many cigarettes would have waited a lot longer in the pocket itself. There are a few places, in fact very few places where smoking activity is banned; rest all places you can smoke freely. This adds indirectly to its availability and eases access to smoking, you can just puff where ever you want to!
Reason 4: Cigarettes are cheap, easily available:
Have you ever had any situation where you desperately needed a cigarette and you never found any shop or any other place where you could have bought a cigarette and a lighter, or a simple matchbox? No! Never! Cigarettes are everywhere. They are so easily available. You always have some mate having some cigarettes in his pocket if your pocket is empty. The source of cigarettes is always so nearby and they are so cheap. Now-a-days you can even buy cheap online cigarettes. The quality is same as compared to any other place you buy.
Reason 5: Health is affected slowly: That word “slowly” is very important. Had it been that a smoker would have faced respiratory problems immediately the next day after smoking then there would be at least 3 billion less smokers in this world today. Smoking is harmful for health no doubt, but the effects are seen after many years – these many years are enough to make it an addiction and to continue the harm even if smoking is stopped, because you have consumed enough tobacco in these many years that it will do its job even you stop smoking then.
Reason 6: New Brands: Do you know how many brands of cigarettes can we get in market? Well at least more than 20 – all of very good quality. The number of brands is increasing as days pass and this is creating more options for people. These brands offer some new thing, some different than the other one and that creates an attraction. Introduction of so many brands creates a competition in between the manufacturers and that results in better cigarettes and cheaper prices! More cigarettes! More smoking!
