Cigarette seems to be a very simple and common word but it can be very dangerous if you are friend with it for a long time. Cigarette smoking is very common trend these days. You can see people (even young and teens) making rings of cigarette smoke everywhere. It may feel a little funny but it is true that the people whom you see today smoking cigarettes may not be visible to you (even everyone) on the next day. Perhaps you have understood what I want to say.

Let me explain it in simple words. According to statistics, more than 1000 people are dying each year in USA by diseases caused by smoking cigarettes. Smoking is not harmful only for smokers but non-smokers are also equally affected by it. The smoke emitted by smokers (also known as second hand smoke) is very harmful for others. It is estimated that each year more than fifty thousand people die from second hand smoke problem. Moreover in United State smoking-related diseases cost more than $150 billion a year. I think it is enough for people to think that if cigarette smoking is so harmful and destructive then they should avoid it. There are many people who are well aware about these facts and want to quit smoking but still they are not able to do it. Such people get addicted to smoking so much that they need to smoke a cigarette after every 20-25 minutes.

Do you know what the main factor behind this addiction? It's Nicotine which makes many people to get addicted to cigarette smoking. According to reports it acts as both stimulant and relaxant but in either case it is considered as addiction reason of smoking. On smoking a cigarette, the nicotine takes only seven seconds to reach from lungs to brain. Then it stimulates the release of many chemicals like acetylcholine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, vasopressin, arginine, dopamine, autocrine agents etc.

Nicotine makes it very difficult for people to manage their smoking addiction. These addicted people try many different methods like counseling or medication, Nicotine patches, nicotine gum, e cigarettes and nicotine lozenges to quit or control it but only a small fraction of these people get success in achieving their target. Among all the alternatives mentioned here it is found that e cigarettes work well for smokers. Many smokers have got success in controlling their smoking addiction with the help of e cigarette. So if you are also a smoker and want to quit then you also need to take some important decision about it.
