Health care providers have always been clear about the fact that smoking is bad for you. In fact, most doctors will practically beg their patients to quit smoking for several reasons. Tobacco smoking increase your risks of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. Smoking cigarettes obviously also affects the mouth, throat, teeth and the repiratory system.

Some health insurance companies won’t even cover a smoker, because of the increased risk for serious problems. If you do smoke, you will undoubtedly pay a higher price for health insurance coverage.

Then of course there is the secondary effects on other people and the smell, mess and fire hazard.

For many years smokers have tried to quit by using willpower, hypnosis, gum and patches. Not everybody has the willpower. Hypnosis is temporary and doesn't change the body's cravings. Chewing-gum and patches negate the nicotine craving, but does nothing about the psychological triggers. You won't know what to do with your hands!

The good news is there new smoker product to hit the scene....the electronic cigarette. The e-cig addresses all the problems mentioned earlier.

So what are doctors saying about e-cigs and their effects on your health? Most doctors are supportive of the choice to buy e-cigs over regular cigarettes. While the best choice is to quit smoking all together, making the switch to e-cigs is a good first step. Now I'm not saying that all doctors like electronic cigarettes, but it is the better of the 2 evils. It is preferable to smoking regular tobacco products. It is the healthier alternative.

By switching to electronic cigarettes, you eliminate the harmful characteristics of cigarettes. You will no longer be inhaling toxic carcinogens, tars and a host of chemicals. There is no smoke and no smell to electronic cigarettes...and you won't have to worry about what you are going to do with your hands!

The new smoking laws also make it difficult for smokers. No worries with electronic cigarettes! They are exempt from these smoking laws. You can puff anywhere, anytime.

The e-cigarette cartomizers (the new form of combining a larger cartridge with a built in atomizer) release an odourless vapour mist that gives you the sensation of breathing in smoke, without ever really putting your lungs at risk. This also prevents the risks associated with second hand smoking. That alone makes the e-cig worth considering.

When sucked, a tiny micro-switch allows the battery to heat up a little element. This only happens when sucked and the liquid contained in the cartomizer is drawn across the heater element causing it to vapourise. Similar to a kettle, this water vapour, or steam, is flavoured with food flavourants and coloured so it looks like smoke. The vapour contains a little nicotine, which satisfies the smoker's cravings.

Some doctors have commented in electric cigarette surveys, that they like the availability of a variety of nicotine strengths in both the pre-loaded cartridges and in the refill liquid, called e-liquid.

This allows patients to slowly wean themselves off the nicotine, that is so addictive. Although nicotine is extremely addictive, it has not been found to be harmful, on it's own and in small doses. While using any form of nicotine is not beneficial to a person's health, it is better to use a lesser amount, without all the toxins and tars as contained in tobacco products.

Remember you are not addicted to a tobacco cigarette, you are not addicted ton the smoke, or the toxins, or the tar, or the burning paper. You are only addicted to the nicotine and to the habit. Electronic cigarettes satisfy both these problems. It looks and feels like you are smoking and you are still getting your fix of nicotine.

Change to electronic cigarettes and improve your health, while still enjoying the habit you love so much. We at Electronic Cigarette Suppliers have had several patients referred to us by local doctors. We have even seen significant improvement in patients with emphysema, asthma and bronchitis, especially when using the Mint flavour, as this seems to open up the bronchials.

I was a sufferer of chronic bronchitis and sinus and constantly at the doctor. I have been "clean" now for more than 2 years, have not missed smoking one bit and continue to enjoy my ECS electronic cigarette. I was surprised at how much junk was sitting on my lungs and I breathe more easily and don't cough and wheeze anymore. My family is proud of me, my doctor is proud of me and hey, I'm proud of myself!
