How can you smoke a cigarette without a lighter, tobacco, or smoke? You use a smokeless cigarette. Also known as electronic cigarettes, they are very similar to real cigarettes, except for a few important factors. They give the same feeling as a regular cigarette, and they look and taste the same too. The difference is in the way the nicotine is delivered to your system.

How Does it Work?

Typically the smokeless cigarette comes with a battery that powers an atomizer, which is a device that heats up. The cartridge is filled with liquid nicotine. The atomizer heats this liquid up and vaporizes it. So instead of inhaling smoke from burning tobacco, you are breathing in vapor from the liquid nicotine. The sensation is identical to smoking, but you don’t have to deal with all the inconveniences and health concerns that go along with smoke.

The Benefits

When you get rid of smoke and replace it with vapor, you also get a number of benefits as well. Because there is not tar or tobacco, smokeless cigarettes have less than 1 percent of the toxicity of regular cigarettes. When you smoke a regular cigarette there are about 40 cancerous substances present. With this new way of smoking you will no longer have to worry about second-hand smoke. This means you can really do it anywhere in your home and not have to worry about the smell getting stuck in your furniture, drapes, carpeting, or any material at all.

Not only are there less health concerns and cleanliness issues, but you are getting a better value as well. Most companies who sell this product sell it cheaper than regular tobacco filled cigarettes. To make the value even better, each smokeless cigarette is equal to about 10-20 cigarettes depending on the way you smoke. They are safer, they stink less, and they cost less.

Do They Look Real?

They are designed to look and feel like a normal cigarette. In fact, when you inhale, it lights up at the end and looks like it is burning. It of course never does. Most of these products will last up to a day depending on your personal smoking style. What also contributes to the realistic feel is the vapor. When you inhale and the vapor releases, it looks like smoke. The difference is you can take a smokeless cigarette into places that do not allow smoking.
