If you were told that there is a smoke free cigarette which is a viable alternative to your usual cigarettes, you might be forgiven for passing it off as just another gimmick. On the contrary, health experts and users are hailing the electronic cigarette as a genuine competitor and replacement for their old tobacco burning varieties.

The electronic smoke free cigarette is, just as it says; smoke free, but uses a liquid vapour to deliver nicotine, which causes it to look, feel and taste just like the real thing, without making your clothes and hands smell like the real thing.

The biggest advantage of the smoke free cigarette must be the vastly reduced health risks. Gone are the carcinogenic chemicals and tar which usually make up the inhaled smoke, you just receive the nicotine 'hit' that you need.

And, with no more smoke, there is no more smoking ban to inconvenience you. You can use electronic cigarettes anywhere, including pubs and restaurants. If you do, however, you may need to explain that you are not using a normal smoke producing cigarette, because it seems so real. The end will even glow a warm red as you inhale.

Try the e cigarette and you can be smoke free and worry free to start enjoying your cigarettes once again.
