According to the French National Health Insurance and the French Ministry of Health, in 2021, 32% of adults in France reported smoking and a quarter of them on a daily basis. Less harmful to health than traditional cigarettes, electronic cigarettes<\/a> or e-cigarettes<\/a> are becoming more and more popular. They are quickly being adopted as an alternative to traditional cigarettes and a solution for smokers quitting tobacco.<\/p>\n

What is an Electronic Cigarette?<\/h2>\n

The electronic cigarette was invented by Chinese Pharmacist: Hon Lik. His goal? Allow smokers to reduce their tobacco consumption while continuing to consume nicotine. Smoking a puff cigarette or a conventional electronic cigarette is a good tobacco substitute<\/b> for quitting smoking, in the same way as chewing gum, patches, or lozenges.<\/p>\n

While traditional cigarettes produce smoke by burning tobacco, an electronic cigarette emits vapour. E-cigarettes, therefore, contain no tar or carbon monoxide<\/b>, which considerably reduces the health risks of daily consumption.<\/p>\n

Conventional Electronic Cigarettes and Puff Cigarettes: Components and How They Work<\/h2>\n

An electronic cigarette is a device made of three elements: a junction box, an e-liquid reservoir, and a heating element.<\/p>\n

The Junction Box<\/h3>\n

The junction box is the external power supply for the electronic cigarette. On a conventional electronic cigarette, this is the part you recharge by removing the battery and plugging it into a power point or directly connecting the e-cigarette to a USB cable.<\/p>\n

The E-liquid Reservoir<\/h3>\n

The reservoir, also known as the atomiser or clearomiser, contains the e-liquid. The \u201cdrip tip\u201d mouthpiece of the cigarette brings the liquid transformed into vapour to your mouth. The e-liquids are made of vegetable glycerine, propylene glycol, and food flavourings. You have the option of e-liquids containing nicotine, ranging from 0mg\/ml to 20 mg\/ml (in France.) You can gradually decrease the nicotine dosage if you want to stop smoking.<\/p>\n

The Heating Element of an E-cigarette<\/h3>\n

The heating element produces vapour by heating the e-liquid<\/b> contained in the reservoir. Depending on the model of electronic cigarettes, there are different shapes, sizes, and resistance characteristics. Their value is expressed in two units:<\/p>\n
