Week 10 [07.12-13.12.2015] E-smoking


Do you smoke? Do you think, you are wasting too much money? Do you hate that cigarette smell on your clothes? Then you should think about buying an electronic cigarette.

The first and the main advantage of electronic smoking is that you’ll be healthier. That’s because during the usage of electronic cigarettes you don’t inhale all the toxic substances like benzene or toluene. The smoke from electronic ones contains mainly nicotine (nicotine isn’t carcinogenic) and some products that are too in food you eat. Here, you can find the comparison of analog cigarette and electronic one (liquid created by cottien):


The second reason to use an electronic cigarette is the cost of using it. Let’s say you smoke 10 normal cigarettes per day. That means that your monthly cost is 15 packs of them. One pack costs about 14 PLN. Summary you spend 210 PLN monthly. Using an e-cigarette you need to buy monthly 40 ml of liquid, which cost 40-80 PLN and about 3-4 coil heaters (each one costs 5-8 PLN). The worst case scenario means that you will spend 112 PLN on it. Naturally the start is a little bit worse. You will need to buy a battery and a clearomizer. The prize for them is about 100 PLN. As you can see with electronic cigarettes, you can spare 80% of your money.

There are many more reasons like smell. Your clothes won’t smell bad because the “smoke” and the smell that generates the e-cigarette vanishes within 5 seconds. Another advantage is the possibility to “smoke” in restaurants and some other public places, because most of them haven’t forbid using electronic smoking.

Of course I don’t recommend smoking even the electronic cigarette. It doesn’t produce so much toxic substances like the analog one, but it isn’t 100% healthy.

Here is a good FAQ (frequently asked question) if you want to know more:

I have some questions for you:
  1. Have you ever smoked? Do you use the electronic cigarette?
  2. What do you think about e-smoking?
  3. Do you like the smell of electronic cigarettes?

  1. Firstly, I have never smoked traditional cigarettes. Why? Because they stink and they are very expensive.
    But I tried e-smoking, few times. If I don't smoke (and I don't), you can guess that e-cigarettes aren't good for me. I don't like the smell, even the electronic cigarettes, but I have to admit that it doesn't stink terribly.

    What do I think about e-smoking?
    People who have e-cigarettes annoys me because they think they can smoke everywhere. Guys! It's really bothers some people (read: Me)

    I do not know whether is it so healthy or not, but it seems to me that e-cigarettes also carrying a threat. For example, a normal person after burning cigarette goes back to school/work/etc. Person with e-cigarette sometimes (not always) have a problem with that. He don't know at which point he would end the normal cigarette. So he burn for more than an hour.... until his battery runs out. And then he's looking for someone who would lend him the traditional cigarette.

    Sorry. That's my point of view

      And because of that I ask people if it will annoy them, if I use my e-cigarette.

      Half true, half false. It's noticeable that people, who use e-cigarettes smoke "24h/day", but during one day you can use up maximum 2 or 3 ml of liquid. It's about 1-2 packs of analog cigarettes ;)

  2. 1. I tried smoke in middle school, but it wasn't interesting for me.
    2. I don't have any opinion, because I never tried. If less stink this kind of cigarettes are definitely better and healthier for non-smoking.
    3. The smell of this cigarettes doesn't disturb me, because I never smelt.

    1. I started smoking after the end of middle school.
      The question about the smell is because I know some people that don't like the smell of e-cigarettes either.

  3. Cigarettes are harmful and expensive. E-cigarettes are more often smoked and also have substances making conditional which are contained in ordinary cigarettes. So if somebody wants to limit or to throw smoking by using the e-cigarette, must know, it won’t work. If somebody likes to smoke then e-cigarettes are a better exit. Tastes of liquids are various. As well they are readily available. And ordinary cigarettes about the peach taste firstly it is hard to find, and secondly are awfully expensive.

    1. I like to smoke, but e-cigarettes gives me the possibility to limit normal smoking. When it comes to health, E-cigarettes have 10 or 100 times less harmful substances.

      If you search for flavoured analog cigarettes then I agree, they are hard to find and expensive compared to normal ones. But if you want to assemble cigarettes yourself, you can buy flavoured tobacco in internet.

  4. 1. I think everybody did try smoking, personally I tried it when I was in primary school (!), but couldn't find any reason to keep doing so, so I simply dropped it back then after a single try and never returned back to it.
    2. I think it's good for people who are addicted to smoking, as a more healthy and cheaper alternative. I don't know if there is any reason against e-cigarettes.
    3. It doesn't disturb me that much, but as a non-smoker I still don't like it.

      >> I don't know if there is any reason against e-cigarettes.

      There is currently only one reason for our government.
      E-cigarettes are cheap, because we don't pay excise tax unlike the analog ones.

  5. E-smoking looks so fancy and modern and all, but for me it's just the same addiction as traditional smokes. I'm sure it's healthier and cheaper, so just an applause for the person who created them, it was a brilliant, billions-worth idea.

    1. As I know e-smoking is not a new idea. The first electronic cigarettes were invented in XX century, but they were a failure. The first real e-cigarettes (that have the same operating method) have been created in 2006, but they became popular in 2008/2009 (maybe because of the increasing cost of the analog cigarette).

    I never tried smoking, neither the e-smoking nor the normal one. I've never seen any reasonable arguments behind why I should try it cause it makes the skin look terrible, people and their cloths carry the cigarette smoke for the long time and you loose a lot of money for it. Totally nope.

    1. As I said I don't want to recomend smoking to anyone ;)
      You said about the smell of analog cigarette, what do you think about the smell of electronic one?

  7. I used to smoke when I was younger, but sporadically. Now I don't use electronic cigarette, I don't smoke.
    I think it's good idea and good choice to smoker, it's cheaper.
    Smells is very pleasant, certainly better than normal cigarette.

  8. I think that e-cigarette could be a good alternative to traditional cigarettes. As you wrote in this article, they have some advantages. And if somebody is a chain smoker and really can't quit smoking, the e-cigarette will be a healthier and cheaper choice.

    Some of my friends use e-cigarette and for sure its smell a lot better that cigarettes.

    1. Thank you for your opinion.

      Of course e-cigarettes are a good alternative to analog smoking. If someone smokes 2 packs per day, then this person could limit the usage of analog cigarettes to 0.5-1 pack with electronic cigarettes.

  9. 1. Yes, I smoked occasionaly at parties. :)
    2. E-cigarettes are much better than regular cigarettes. Although e-cigarettes still emit harmful substances, but e-cigs are less harmful than regular cigarettes and from what I know they are not harmful for bystanders.
    3. Yes, some of the flavors smell very great.

    1. Bystanders inhale mostly only nicotine that is harmless.

  10. 1. Yeeeee, I smoke when I get drunk but on the daily basis I am not smoking. I always liked smoking pipe and I am thinking about doing it again ;) so ye - thanks for the reminder ;D
    2. Well e-smoking is generally speaking better than smoking cigarettes, it's all about inhaling only nicotine - so it's somehow more fine than inhaling smoke from cigarettes. It is better it's a normal thing, but it will never outscale cigarettes, corporations wouldn't allow it. Money is money after all, right ?
    3. I love the smell, some flavors are very very very nice but I don't like the inhaling part - I always cough, like everytime.

      no problem ;)

      ah, and... If someone gives you an electronic cigarette after you drank alcohol then say no. It isn't good to connect these two things together.

  11. I don't have too much to say on this topic because I don't like any cigarettes. I will say more - I hate them. As you might guess I've never tried the electric cigarette.

    Especially I don't like when people who are close to me smoke. In this case electric cigarettes are better because the smoke which extracts from them is less perceptible.

  12. Tried smoke e-cigarettes and didn't like it. I prefer normal red Marlboro. :) Probably i will never understand peoples that smoking e-cigs or drinking 'non-alcohol' beer, their behavior is very strange for me. If i dont want smoke, i wont, the same with alco.

    1. It's good for using in car or in home. The smell doesn't "drill into" the upholstery like in the analog cigarette.

  13. I don't smoke cigarettes or e-cigarettes but I own shisha.
    Somethimes e-cigarettes are really making me nervous when people smoke it wherever they want and whenever they want.
    Smell is better then regular cigarettes for sure.

    1. Say that to a person when he uses it near to you ;).
      Mostly I ask other people nearby me, but if I forget and someone would say that it annoys him/her, then I would stop.

  14. I don’t smoke so any devices that lower the negative effects of smoking are not useful to me. However, I guess that e-smoking can be a very good way of quitting cigarettes and it’s not so detrimental to the general public. And when it comes to the smell of electronic cigarettes, I think that some flavoured ones can be appealing, for instance vanilla or chocolate ones ;).

  15. I really don't get it. If you don't like the smell of cigarettes, stop smoking them. And if you like banana-flavoured stuff, well, get yourself a banana milkshake or something.

    And, yeah, though propylene glycol and glycerin are marked as food-safe, this does not extend to "heated to high temperatures, evaporated and inhaled repeatedly for several months".

  16. 1. Yes I tried smoking some cigarettes but I'm not a smoker. I'm not using electronic cigarette neither but I also tried it when some of my friends was smoking it.
    2. It's healthier for people around you so if you want to smoke it it's you choice. If it's not poisoning me so I don't care.
    3. Maybe not my favourite smell but I don't mind. At least it smells way better than real cigarette smoke.

  17. 1. I never smoked cigarettes or normal or e-cigarettes.
    2. They do not smell like normal cigarettes, but they have a different problem. Terribly pisses me off when someone uses an e-cigarette for example, in public transport.
    3. As a passive smoker, I think that some smell quite nicely, especially this with the fruit liquid.

  18. I do not smoke. I've never smoked and I do not smoke. I like healthy lifestyle, and I think that smoking is a symptom of weakness. Smoking does not contribute anything positive to human life except that it is fashionable. Smoking kills, it's true. Smoking disfigures, destroys teeth and skin. I am proud of the fact that I do not smoke and I do not waste money and health. What do I think about e-cigarettes? I think that this is not a solution to the problem (because I think that smoking is a problem for many people). I am not interested in this subject, but I heard that electronic cigarettes are also toxic. I do not see any advantages flowing from smoking, so I think every reason is good to stop.

      Today it's not. Currently it is "fashionable" not to smoke.

  19. 1. Yup, I was smoking for a year or two, but I quit. I also used e-cigarette.
    2. I think it may be less dangerous for smokers, but still annoying for non smokers. Actually, even more annoying, because people that use e-cigarettes think that they are allowed to smoke everywhere, no matter if it's comfortable for other people in the area. When I see somebody with an e-cigarette, I automatically assume he is just stupid douchebag who will transform whole room into smoky smelly one.
    3. I don't like the smell of e-cigarettes, it usually stinks like smokers' breath.

  20. 1. Yes, I'm a smoker. No, not using e-cigarettes and never tried.
    2. I think e-smoking is for school-boys, who want to impress their peers, for people who think they're quit smoking this way, or simply because they wanna smoke everywhere.
    3. Never smelled any, but I know they have many kinds of flavours. So either they smell as they taste or they don't smell at all.

    1. When you smoke normal cigarettes it's good for example when you want to smoke in your car. The smell won't drill your into the upholstery (it's not the same smell that you know, produced during smoking).
