Save Money & Gain Better Health With Ecigs


There is no getting away from the fact that while we enjoy smoking there are downsides such as being addicted and inhaling all the harmful chemicals that are included in a standard cigarette. Another downside is the continual rising cost of cigarettes. Now there is a more health solution and one that will save you money while at the same time providing you with your craving for nicotine, E-cigs, otherwise known as electronic cigarettes.

Make Huge Savings When Using E-cigs

With the average cost of a packet of 20 cigarettes being around £6 if you smoke 20 per day this means you get through 140 cigarettes a week. This will cost you upwards of £42 per, £168 per month or just over £2,000 per year. This is a very expensive habit of course. However if you swapped normal cigarettes you could save around £1,500 per year. What would you spend this money on, a holiday perhaps? As you can see swapping to ecigs can save you a great deal of money as one single cartridge is the same as buying between 25 and 35 normal cigarettes.

Feel Healthier

While making savings you can also improve your health as you will not be inhaling all the harmful things that are included in a typical cigarette. There are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes and some of these are very toxic and 60 of them could cause cancer. Along with tar there is:
  • Hydrogen cyanide which is used in execution chambers
  • Carbon monoxide which comes from exhaust fumes
  • Benzene which is a toxic petrol additive and industrial solvent
  • Methanol which is found in anti-freeze
  • Ammonia which is an alkali used as a refrigerant
The above are just some of the many harmful chemicals out of the 4,000 and these are not found in electric cigarettes.

A Choice of E-Cigs

Just as there are many choices for normal cigarettes the same applies to e-cigs or electronic cigarettes. If you smoke lights then you can choose the light nicotine strength of 11mg, there is also the choice of 18mg and 24 mg for heavy smokers. Along with coming in the traditional tobacco taste, e-cigs cartridges also come in many flavours such as menthol, cherry or Apple. Cartridges typically come in white or black and they are cost effective. A pack of ten cartomizers are the same as buying 200 normal cigarettes which you would pay upwards of £60 for and which would last a 20 a day smoker on average 10 days. The equivalent amount of cartomizers (200 cigs) for an electronic cigarette cost less than £15 (at the time of writing).
