Probably.  However, the companies that sell these devices are not in a position to tell you that.  Since the FDA has not approved electronic cigarettes, they’re not being sold as smoking cessation devices, but rather as a healthier “smoking alternative” for people who want smoke in public places.

E-cigarettes are an alternative nicotine delivery system. Common sense would dictate they could be effectively used as part of an overall smoking cessation program, similar to the way nicotine gum, patches and inhalers are.

And here’s an interesting fact about electronic cigarette nicotine cartridges: They come in several different nicotine levels – high, medium, low, and zero nicotine.  Conceivably a person could slowly wean themselves from their nicotine addiction by progressively lowering their intake levels.  It’s important to note even a cartridge with a “high” nicotine level still delivers considerably less nicotine per inhale than a traditional cigarette.

So how many smokers successfully quit using the electronic cigarette?  It’s too soon to say for sure and no organized studies have been performed to date.  However, if one were to go to the numerous “vaping” forums they would see many testimonials of people who have kicked the habit for good using these devices.  Some of these success stories are from people who have smoked over a pack a day for decades.

Until in-depth clinical studies are done, we’re going to have to rely on anecdotal testimonials and our own reasonable judgement.  Do your research and educate yourself on the facts.  Only then will you will be well equipped to make an intelligent adult decision whether this is something that can help you quit smoking.

Here’s the bottom line: No device, even one as promising as the e-cigarette, is going to be a “silver bullet” that can make a smoker quit overnight.  Successfully quitting forever starts with a strong conviction to quit.  If a person truly wants to quit then the electronic cigarette may prove to be a very helpful tool in realizing that goal.

But let’s face it… many smokers DON”T want to quit!  They just enjoy smoking too much.  For this group, electronic smoking can be a much healthier alternative… hopefully one that will keep them alive a lot longer.

Some points to keep in mind.

• Tobacco cigarettes contain over 4,000 toxic chemicals

• Electronic cigarettes do not produce smoke and so, no tar.
• Some of the carcinogens found in the FDA report are also present in the patch and nicotine gums.

Most companies are selling electronic cigarettes in a 3-piece design:

1. Battery
2. Atomizer
3. Nicotine cartridge

The Green Smoke design consists of only 2 pieces:

1. Battery
2. Atomizer & cartridge combined

Why does this make such a HUGE difference?

With the 3-piece design the atomizer gets used over and over.  This leads to a dirty, clogged atomizer that becomes much less efficient over time.  A clean atomizer is essential for getting maximum vapor volume.  The more quality vapor you can get with each draw is very important for a satisfying and realistic “smoking” experience.  Reusable atomizer found in 3-piece designs need to be replaced frequently… a hidden cost not mentioned in the sales material.  Some products even have the additional headache of having to drop liquid nicotine solution into the filter.

The 2-piece design as found in the Green Smoke model eliminates the problems associated with the reusable atomizer.  Because the atomizer is built into the nicotine cartridge, you get a fresh atomizer every time you change cartridges (one cartridge is about the equivalent of 20-30 tobacco cigarettes).  This is why Green Smoke has the highest smoke volume industry.  No other models even come close.

It’s very common for many people to initially try a cheap 3-piece design only to be disappointed.  These are the same people that go on to say electronic smoking doesn’t work well.  It’s worth it to spend a few extra dollars and get a 2-piece design that you will be happy with.

Not all e-cigarettes are created equal.  It’s important to educate yourself on the differences so you don’t end up going through a lot of unnecessary (and expensive) trial and error.  Green Smoke offers a technologically advanced device that will give you the most realistic and satisfying smoking experience in the industry.  The highest smoke volume, convenience of use, reliability, cleanliness and an extended battery life all add up to make Green Smoke a wise electronic cigarette choice.
