Digital smoking: get your nicotine fix without the risks

Despite so many health warnings and bans set up in regards with tobacco consumption, people either just can’t kick the habit or refuse to do so altogether. However, some new products have been developed for smokers to indulge in their nicotine fix without the harmful chemicals, toxins and cancer-causing poisons due to their habit.

These products are a type of “electronic” or “digital” smoking designed to eliminate the harmful side-effects of smoking tobacco products. One of these products, the Crown7, is an Art Deco styled tube with a cartridge and a rechargeable battery.

Costing only US$ 2 a pop, the cartridges contain water, propylene glycol, nicotine, and a tobacco flavor which simulates the effect of smoking while emitting only a harmless vapor which leaves no residual odor or causes second hand smoking effects.

The only downside with the product would probably be the hefty price for the reusable tube itself – the price ranging around US$ 64.95 to 149.95. The tube comes in three styles that cater to different types of smokers: cigarette, cigar, and pipe.

Another product made for this purpose is the Vapir from AIR-2, an air vaporizer that transforms the active elements of practically any plant into an inhaleable mist without burning it. A patented microchip regulates the vaporization process, called volitization, to avoid overheating or burning. With this method tobacco users can get the nicotine fix they need without the harmful smoke.

Professor Lester Grinspoon of Harvard Medical School Associate relates the vast applications this method has beyond simple smoking substitution. Medicinal vaporization may eliminate the need to use hypodermic needles and oral medications which can be degenerated by digestive enzymes.

Despite all the advantages these new products may bring, it is still doubtful whether the public will be able to accept them as a new convention to alternative smoking. Regardless, it’s a small step where innovative devices such as these bring about a healthier lifestyle for everyone.
