Valentine's Day is coming soon, and everyone is scrambling to find the perfect gift for their loved ones. If your Valentine is a smoker, disposable electronic cigarette gifts are a brilliant and unique way to show that you care. They are a clever way to broach the subject of becoming a non-smoker without revisiting the same old disputes over getting them to quit.

E-Cigarettes As An Alternative to Smoking

Chances are, your loved one is all too aware of the risks of smoking. The dangers of smoking are written on the side of the pack. News reports and press releases from health organizations remind everyone that smoking can lead to emphysema or cancer, along with a host of other health problems. Chances are, at every doctor's visit, the doctor has recommended quitting. Smokers, by and large, know the risks, but feel powerless to do something about it.

Nicotine addiction can take longer than most addictive substances to take hold, but once there, it's incredibly hard to break. According to Psychology Today, among the 7 hardest addictions to quit, cigarettes are number 3. To underscore this placement, this makes them harder to quit than cocaine, alcohol, valium, and heroin.

E-cigarettes are a great alternative to smoking because they supply nicotine to curb their cravings and satisfy the hand-to-mouth habit of smoking—but they do this without fire, smoke, and the massive amounts of poisons and carcinogens. You inhale water vapor which contains nicotine, propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, and optional food-grade flavorings.

The Pros and Cons of E-Cig Vaping

One thing to be aware of is that smokeless cigarettes are not approved smoking cessation devices. In effect, your beloved smoker is only making their nicotine habit not be a “filthy habit.” Whether they choose to break nicotine addiction through vaping is a personal decision.

However, the benefits they will discover after trying their first disposable electronic cigarette far outweigh their continued addiction to nicotine. Their health will improve dramatically. They will not smell like smoke anymore. They will not have to “step out” to feed their addiction. They may even avoid a future of suffering with emphysema or cancer. Your loved one may be skeptical at first, but once they understand that they can make this change with minimal effort, your gift of health will have paid off.
