Electronic Cigarette Users Now Have Forum to Review E-Cigarette Brands

Fitchburg, WI, October 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Smokers around the world are permanently putting out their traditional cigarettes and switching to a much healthier, safer, and greener (earth friendly) alternative. Besides the fact that traditional tobacco cigarettes are growing more expensive every day, a large percentage of the billion plus smokers around the world are choosing to pick up a more earth and health friendly cigarette. The eco-friendly option, the electric cigarette, is a small device that delivers an inhaled dose of nicotine through a vaporized solution. They are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and consist of the battery, an atomizer (that converts the liquefied nicotine into a vapor), circuitry and a reusable plastic mouthpiece. The cartridges have varying amounts of nicotine, depending on preference (high, medium, low, or zero nicotine). All main parts can be recharged or reused, which reduces the waste normally produced by tobacco cigarettes in the leftover butts and packaging.

Electronic cigarettes are becoming so popular that some analysts predict that over the next ten years, approximately 40% of all smokers will buy electronic cigarettes online over the more conventional and harmful tobacco cigarettes. The industry has tripled in size in just a short 6 months and is likely to double again in the next 30 days. Thus, confusion has been expressed by consumers, "Which is the best brand? What's the difference between Type A and Type B... and what is Type C?" Recently a website was launched that gave a solution to the problem. ElectronicCigarettesReviews.net was created to provide e-cigarette smokers a chance to share their opinions about the e-cig brands they've tried out, and also a chance to offer feedback about company policy, pricing, value etc.

ElectroniccigarettesReviews.net was quick to get involved as this new development of high tech cigarettes is better for the smoker's health and the earth, and is expected to cut down on the staggering amount of pollution caused by smokers. Though there are not many cigarette related litter statistics, the impact on the earth can be roughly calculated. If each of the worlds 1.2 billion or so smokers were to simply drop 2 cigarettes on the ground every day, it would result in over 2 billion cigarette butts polluting the earth daily. That is over 700 billion cigarette butts every year left to pollute the earth. In every 200 discarded cigarette butts, there are 50 to 60 milligrams of nicotine and other poisonous chemicals. That is enough to kill a full grown adult. Each time it rains these poisons are being absorbed by the earth and eventually end up in fresh water supplies, lakes, rivers and streams. The deadly price is paid not only by humans but the animals that share the earth as well. And while not one of the most serious sources of pollution, each cigarette does contain unburned hydrocarbons, just like the fumes produced by factories and car exhaust pipes. While the amount of carbon pollution created by each individual cigarette is negligible, as a total, cigarettes do have an impact on global ecology.

These inevitable side effects are not a factor with smokers that make use of electronic cigarettes. The design of e-cigarettes makes them reusable. When one nicotine filled cartridge is empty, simply replace it with another. The nicotine in electronic cigarettes is delivered through a process of vaporization. There is no flame involved whatsoever. Because there is no flame, there is neither smoke to waft into the atmosphere nor ashes dropped in unsightly places. This also eliminates the problem of second hand smoke lingering in the environment. The electronic cigarette is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery, eliminating wastes from discarded batteries that can leak and pollute the earth. Best of all, it contains absolutely no un-burnt hydrocarbons. Unlike tobacco cigarettes, the vapor produced by this smoking alternative does not negatively affect the environment in the same way that cigarettes do. Electronic cigarettes do not produce cigarette butts or nearly the amount of total waste associated with tobacco cigarettes. Instead of twenty butts for every pack of traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes use a single cartridge to give the same smoking satisfaction as up to two packs of tobacco cigarettes. Plus, because smokers won't buy nearly as many nicotine cartridges as one normally would when buying packs of tobacco cigarettes, you can cut down on the amount of packaging used. Over the course of a lifetime, there's almost no way to total just how much landfill space a single smoker could save by switching to electronic cigarettes.

A website launched in August of 2009, http://www.electroniccigarettesreviews.net, gives electronic cigarette smokers a forum to voice an opinion on various brands of e-cigarettes. Visitors to this website are encouraged to share their experience with electronic cigarettes by submitting an online product review about the e-cigarette(s) they have tried.
