The Future of Electronic Cigarettes
If you’re not aware
of what electronic cigarettes are, they are alternative smoking devices that
deliver a smoking experience just like the one you get with traditional
cigarettes. While there are many similarities, such as the same look and feel
of regular cigs, there are also many important differences between these two
alternatives. The major difference between the two is that e cigarettes emit
vapor instead of smoke. This alone creates several benefits, such as not having
the awful cigarette odor that traditional cigarettes leave behind. For vapers,
smelling like they smoked cigarettes all day is a thing of the past.
However, there are some obstacles that e cig users are
currently facing that put the future of this incredible device in question. Of
course, the electronic cigarette has been gaining momentous popularity over the
recent years, but it’s still not enough. The biggest obstacle is that the
majority of people don’t really know about what this device is or what it does.
In fact, many people believe that it’s a traditional cigarette and produces
smoke as well. As a result, local governments have been introducing strict
forms of legislation that ban e cigs in the same way that traditional cigs are
regulated.
So what can we do in order to create a better future for
electronic cigarettes? The best way would be to spread awareness, even to
non-smokers. Currently, there are many e cig manufacturers that sell millions
of devices each year. Most of their advertising efforts focus solely on
smokers, but it would also be a good idea to spread awareness to nonsmokers. A
nonsmoker may confuse a vaper for smoking a regular cigarette, due to the fact
that most of these devices look like regular cigarettes and because of the
vapor’s similar appearance to smoke. Thus, it would be a good idea for
manufacturers to get the word out about these devices and help nonsmokers
recognize the difference.
Another good idea for awareness is to conduct more studies.
Many municipal governments across the U.S. are banning these devices, saying
that they don’t really know enough about electronic cigarettes. Well, if the
regulators don’t know much about them, why can’t there be more studies?
Clearly, these great little devices are already changing the world of smoking,
but still have a lot of unlocked potential.
