People who smoke are fully aware of the health risks they subject themselves to but due to the addictive nature of the substance nicotine, they have difficulty getting quitting the habit. Different solutions such as patches and gum have been introduced to help people quit smoking and are successful in less than 15% of cases according to detailed statistics. For a lot of smokers, the addiction not only lies in the nicotine, it’s in the act of lighting up and drawing the poisonous smoke into their system.
Water vapor cigarettes
Water vapor cigarettes, also known as electronic cigarettes, address the fixation with the act of smoking that most people have developed after years of indulging in the habit. This invention mimics the appearance of a cigarette, delivers nicotine to your system and even produces smoke like a cigarette would. But instead of releasing thousands of harmful substances into the air and depositing them into your lungs, you only get water vapor, quite similar both in terms of appearance and components to asthma nebulizers and smoke machines.
These devices are usually made up of two components. The longer section of the water vapor cigarette is the battery. It is made up of lithium ion which makes it rechargeable. It houses the processor which turns on the heating element upon the act of taking a drag through the silicone mouthpiece at the end of the cartridge. At the other end of the battery is an LED that glows, mimicking the appearance of a cigarette’s glowing ember. Depending on the design, a water vapor cigarette’s battery could last anywhere between a couple of hours and a week.
The disposable section of a water vapor cigarette is called a cartridge. This is where the nicotine pad is found. The cylinder is filled with fluid, which is a mixture of water, propylene glycol, and/or glycerol.

The latter two ingredients are food additives and they provide the resulting smoke which is whitish in appearance. Cartridges could have different flavors that have virtually no effect on the vapor smoke one inhales in the process of vaping.
The similarity of water vapor cigarettes to their tobacco equivalent makes it more effective as a smoking cessation tool than other products. In fact, research shows that water vapor cigarettes could potentially cause 30% of heavy smokers to quit the habit within 6 months. This is a far higher return than on any other quit smoking device.
You might ask how e-cigarettes offer such effective results when you still get to smoke. The brilliant thing about water vapor cigarettes is the varying amount of nicotine that the cartridges carry. Those who have just decided to quit smoking could opt for the higher-dosage nicotine cartridges to satisfy their cravings. After a few months, they could then select a lower dose, gradually decreasing their nicotine intake in a step-by-step manner that will ultimately leave them smoking a water vapor cigarette free of nicotine.
