ECIG

January 7th, 2010

My father who is now 68 years old was a chain smoker. He said he began smoking when he was about sixteen or seventeen. We have been trying to get him to stop smoking but we were always unsuccessful. Finally at 65 he suffered and survived a heart attack. He quit smoking right after. Just recently I heard of ECIG or electronic cigarette, I wish I had known about this all those years we were trying to get him to quit.

ECIG is a way in which we could have helped my dad cut down on his smoking. An ECIG is a battery operated device that resembles a pen. It is an alternative to cigarettes and tobaccos. It is a vaporizer because it vaporizes nicotine. The smoker gets to taste and feel the sensation of smoking cigarettes and tobacco.
