By now, most everyone on this planet knows of the negative consequences associated with smoking tobacco cigarettes. Unless the cigarette or cigar was home made by someone who uses pure dried tobacco leaves and nothing else, then there is a very great chance that you, the smoker, will succumb to a smoking-related disease if you continue on your path.

Smoking tobacco cigarettes has been linked with stroke, cancer of the lungs and various other organs, heart disease, pulmonary disease, and many more. The number of people who die every year as a result of using tobacco products is staggering, and the financial figure of the cost of health bills is even more staggering.

Given the facts of cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products, over 35 million smokers in the United States alone attempt to quit this addiction but, unfortunately, only a very small percentage makes it to their one-year anniversary of being smoke-free. The addiction to nicotine and the act of smoking is so great that these former smokers will go against their better judgment and indulge in a smoking session that has the potential to end their life prematurely one day.

There are several cessation products that are being marketed today, but many smokers can testify to the fact that they simply do not work. While laboratory testing may show that using these cessation devices, such as the inhaler, the patch and prescription medication, should work, but the success rate of these products can't hide the ugly truth that most smokers revert back to their old habits after using these products after a few days.

There is one such product on the market today that has showed tremendous promise, and both smokers and non-smokers have shown support for it. The e cigarette is a device that mimics the act of smoking and also delivers nicotine when the vapor is inhaled. Sales have skyrocketed since more people are being made aware of the product. Perhaps the best part about the e cigarette, which have many believing that this is why users have managed to quit using real cigarettes almost immediately, is that it delivers nicotine and allows you to act like you're smoking. For some, the addiction to cigarettes is a combination of nicotine cravings and the act of smoking, and e cigarettes handle both of those aspects.

Could the next cessation device be the e cigarette? Millions of supporters certainly hope so.
