The e-cigarette industry is worth about 2 billion dollars in the United States alone, where these types of cigarettes are legal. The Canadian government however has deemed this substance as illegal, but that doesn’t stop people from buying and selling this product in the black market.
Essentially the product is a cigarette-shaped electronic device that converts liquid nicotine into water vapour, delivering a smoke-like hit of nicotine, without the actual smoke. This cigarettes are available in a variety of “e-liquid” flavour cartridges — from banana cream and Earl Grey tea to an ersatz version of du Maurier cigarettes — and their preferred strength of nicotine. But without all the dangerous cocktail of 4,000 chemicals, such as carbon monoxide and arsenic, found in real cigarettes. So they are better for the smoker (99% better for you than the standard cigarette) and the people around you, and besides they are much cheaper than real cigarettes. That’s not all this new cigarette does not yellow teeth, give off a bad smell or ruin your hair and nails.
Even though Health Canada prohibits the sale of these new (and better) cigarettes the at the moment I believe in the future the market for these e-cigarettes is going to be very successful. Experts predict that the sales of this product might even surpass the sales of a regular cigarette.
