Imagine a way of smoking where there was no lingering smell on your
fingers and clothes, no ash, no ashtrays, and no cigarette burns in
furniture. Sounds like wishful thinking, doesn’t it? Well, think again.
Something called the ‘Electronic Cigarette’ is turning our wishful
thinking into the ideal reality.
The electronic cigarette, or ‘e-cig’, is a battery operated device that
vaporizes liquid nicotine into a mist that is identical to smoke.
However, this vapor is entirely odorless and contains none of the tar or
carcinogens that you get with tobacco. Plus, since the vaporization is
all triggered by the push of a button, or simply by your inhaling, there
is never any need for a lighter or matches and there is never any ash
or cigarette butts. It’s a virtually immaculate way to get the same
experience as smoking a real cigarette.
And since the e-cig primarily runs off of inexpensive nicotine
cartridges, which are available from Electronic Cigarettes Inc., you
will almost immediately notice the amount of money being saved by using
the e cig. When refilling cartridges one could see up to $5000.00 in
savings each year compared to typical tobacco consumption. With the
experience of the e-cig being so close to that of an actual cigarette,
and at an outrageously lower price, there’s no surprise as to why the
electronic cigarette is making waves all over the country.
“If anyone appreciates the e-cig more than me, it’s my family… my
daughter no longer complains that daddy smells like cigarettes and I am
no longer constantly buying mints or gum before I see my wife. I’m still
completely satisfied, I can feel like I just smoked a cigarette, but
everyone else benefits too. It’s a win-win situation.” -Mark, Ontario
“…and one of my favorite times to smoke a cigarette is right after a
meal. Since electronic cigarettes only produce vapor, I can smoke it
anywhere, which means when I’m in public and feel like smoking I don’t
have to go stand out in the cold for 10 minutes. I can get nicotine when
and where I want it and there’s nothing better than that.” -Alex, NY
Want To Quit Smoking? Here Is What Smoking Actually Does For You and Why You Can Live Without It
November 18, 2019
To say that people are a slave to smoking is giving a cigarette more
power than it actually has. In fact, people are not a slave to smoking
but instead are a slave to the thought that they can’t quit smoking for
fear of not having the thing that gives them courage, hope, happiness,
self confidence, relaxation, stress reduction, energy, and – wait, how
can something give you energy and relaxation? Oh wait, it can’t, only
your mind can do that!
So the real you, the one your mind controls, is not present when you are
smoking. The fake you, the one that smoking controls, is present and
the challenge is to not only quit smoking but also become in control of
the real you again.
I’ve been there and I can tell you that as a non-smoker I see it all
very clearly. I know that smoking is not giving you energy or helping
you relax but instead it is simply giving you a fix for the nicotine
that has left your body. That’s it. It’s helping you not go through
withdrawal.
The reason you think that it helps you with every emotion possible in
life is because you tend to grab a cigarette at every emotion possible
and it relieves your withdrawal which is distracting you from feeling
the emotion completely and once you get your fix you can focus on the
emotion without withdrawal blinders on.
Do you see what I am saying?
The only thing the cigarette does is relieve the withdrawal. That’s it.
It does not have super powers that cause a wide spectrum of emotions to
appear and magically make you more productive in life. It only replaces
nicotine that you had from your last cigarette then its job is done!
The real you is the one causing the emotions of happiness, relaxation,
focus, ect…the cigarette is just removing the withdrawal so that you
can focus on your real emotions instead of the withdrawal.
Now imagine not having to waste your time focusing on the withdrawal and instead just getting to the emotions!
Every cigarette you light causes your next withdrawal. You give yourself
some more nicotine and then your body is happy. Once the nicotine wears
off your body wants more.
Smoking is essentially a never ending cycle of feeding your body nicotine and having it wear off.
So if smoking doesn’t help you deal with or feel emotions and all it is
replacing a drug in your body that you are addicted to why is smoking so
important to you then?
If it’s because is socially acceptable you are wrong. It’s actually
gross to most people and the only people that think its socially
acceptable are the people who smoke. More and more people are quitting
everyday which means more and more people think that you smell gross and
look ridiculous sucking nicotine into your body for no reason.
It does nothing for you in the way of feeling better or dealing with
life. The real you does that after you have your nicotine fix.
Your health suffers hugely for sucking on this poison. You have to
realize that 1,205 people per day in the United States die from a
smoking related disease. And all because they wanted to replace their
nicotine in their body? Your intellect has to see the stupidity in that!
The thing I realize is that smokers know that smoking isn’t healthy.
They know that quitting would be better for their health. But they don’t
know that they will be fine without their cigarettes. They don’t know
that cigarettes literally do nothing for them except fill up the
nicotine in their body.
If most smokers knew that life without smoking is exactly the same as
life with smoking but without having to plan their life around
cigarettes and without having to poison your body then they may be more
inclined to give quitting a try.
