In Lean Economy Cigarette Smokers Go High Tech to Save Money
LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Leonard Hope takes a drag from his electronic cigarette while driving his tractor trailer rig down the highway, "It was getting ridiculous paying six or seven dollars for a pack of cigarettes," Hope says. Mr. Hope is not alone; thousands of smokers a day are switching to electronic cigarettes simply to save money. Mr. Hope's mother had switched to electronic cigarettes a year ago. One day she forwarded Leonard an online calculator that showed him how much he would save by switching to electronic cigarettes. "I ordered one that very same day, I'm cheap, " Mr. Hope confesses.
Curious onlookers often stop Mr. Hope to ask questions about his smokeless cigarette. "I tell them flavor is the same as tobacco cigarette but there is no smoke or tar, but their ears really perk up when I say it costs less than half of what regular cigarettes cost and my wife and Mom no longer bother me about quitting." Indeed a fringe benefit of e-cigarettes is that there is no actual smoke. E-cigarettes contain only water vapor, flavoring, and liquid nicotine, many who have switched to electronic cigarettes don't feel the guilt or need to quit as the e-cigarette habit is seen as more benign by many, often likened to a cup of coffee.
"My truck, house - hell even my dog used to smell like cigarette smoke," says Mr. Hope. "I don't miss that, in fact there is nothing I miss about tobacco cigarettes."
About Electronic Cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes use a small disposable atomizer cartridge to vaporize water, flavoring and liquid nicotine into a mist that is inhaled like cigarette smoke. Only there is no actual smoke. Most e-cig retailers offer a wide variety of flavors and nicotine strengths to accommodate traditional smokers that are considering switching.
