Thousands of smokers are jumping on the electronic cigarette bandwagon every day. Why are so many people are making the switch? I hope to outline the most important reasons in this article.

1. No tobacco means no tar or other harmful substances

This is probably the main thing that motivates people to try ecigarettes. They don't contain tobacco and don't actually burn anything. All those nasty chemicals in regular cigarettes that are extremely damaging to the smoker and other people in the vicinity just aren't present in cigarettes.

2. Say goodbye to smoking bans

Many countries around the world now ban smoking in most public places. Not so many years ago, smokers could indulge their habits pretty much anywhere without fear of public outcry or court fines. Nowadays smokers are outcasts, not able to light up a cigarette in their favorite bar, restaurant, etc. Electronic cigarettes on the other hand can be used just about anywhere.

3. Save cash

Smokers who switch to using electronic cigarettes will certainly save money. With regular smokes costing an average of $5 to $6 a pack, a 20-a-day smoker can expect to save at least $65 a month, much more in some cases.

4. Reduce your nicotine intake

Because ecigarette cartridges are available in different strengths the smoker can lower their nicotine intake over a period of time. They may gradually wean themselves off it altogether and find themselves using cartridges with 0mg of nicotine, just enjoying the taste and sensation of smoking.

5. Maintain the smoking sensation

The design of an ecigarette makes it possible for the smoker to continue having a similar experience to smoking a normal cigarette. Many people who try nicotine patches and gum find they miss the act of smoking. Electronic Cigarettes allow you to cut out negative aspects of cigarettes, whilst maintaining the sensation of smoking.

6. Ditch the smell

Walking around smelling like an ashtray is not very attractive. The vapor produced by electronic cigarettes is virtually odorless and dissipates very quickly. So no smell to cling to your clothes, hair and fingers.
