Nearly everyone is aware of the health risks involved with smoking tobacco. Not only does it cause severe damage to the smoker’s body, but also the fumes exhaled during the act of smoking are harmful to the other people around, especially young children. This is why more people have begun switching from smoking tobacco to using electronic cigarettes. These electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, use nicotine liquid that vaporizes inside the e-cigarette. The user then inhales the vaporized liquid nicotine. It has been found to be just as satisfying as smoking tobacco, but without the thousands of chemicals contained in tobacco smoke.
What Is Nicotine Liquid?
E-cigarettes have become increasingly popular among people who are not ready to give up the habit of smoking, but who also do not want to put themselves and others at risk through the dangerous tobacco fumes that result from smoking. E-cigarettes use nicotine liquid, which vaporizes so the user can breathe it in. It’s much safer than tobacco smoke, because there are not nearly so many harmful toxins going into the lungs. Only a very small amount of nicotine is used. Nicotine liquid is only made from a few safe ingredients, which usually consist of:
-Vegetable Glycerin – This is often used in foods and toothpaste. This means that it is food grade and completely harmless.
-Propylene Glycol – Together with vegetable glycerin, this solvent makes up the base of nicotine liquid. Propylene glycol is used in many other things, including smoke machines and inhalers for those who are afflicted with asthma. Be aware that propylene glycol can cause allergic reactions in some users; fortunately you can easily find e-cigarettes that have e-juice with a 100% vegetable glycerin base.
-Nicotine – A much lower amount of nicotine is consumed when you use e-cigarettes than when you smoke tobacco. Only the purest, pharmaceutical grade nicotine is used.
-Flavoring – Nicotine liquid can have any number of different flavors, depending on the preferences of the user. They come in many fruit, spice, beverage, baked goods and candy flavors. If you are craving a particular type of sweet food, you can probably find an e-cigarette with that nicotine liquid flavor. The flavorings used are food grade and completely harmless to consume.
-Distilled Water – This is used to dilute the nicotine liquid, if needed. So you can be sure that it will have just the right flavor and also be made from the cleanest, purest ingredients to ensure that you have the best e-cigarette experience possible.
