One might say that a statement that puts the electric cigarette on a pedestal as opposed to conventional tobacco products is a bit of an overstretch and is borderline marketing propaganda but you cannot argue that this device has won every comparative scenario with its competitor. Aside from the obvious health benefits an important consideration that many smokers can live with is the considerable financial unburdening that comes with the switch of habit from pack smoking to electric.
One of the contentions of many who get hooked on tobacco cigarette smoking is that the habit forming consumption of as much as a pack a day not only drains the wallet but can also cause some potentially dangerous health problems for the person who smokes, as well as the second hand smoker.
The electric cigarette addresses this because it does not require replenishment as much and does not have any exhalants that could damage other people who are around a person who smokes.
