Its incredible to think that the price of tobacco is so high compared to what it used to be, and is always rising. Switching to an electronic cigarette could save a lot of money over a year, but not only that, it could add significantly to your quality of life.
People have been smoking for centuries, its literally a habit that's in the blood. Although it is recognized as a hobby that kills, we are so locked into the addictive drug nicotine that we will ignore our staple needs in the desire to reach for a cigarette at a crucial time. Whether we are stressed, drunk, bored or wanting to look cool, we need it. Taxes on tobacco are to the hilt, but still we soldier on, puffing away, paying through the nose.
Tobacco is priced differently through the world and taxes have a big part to play in that, therefore price comparison with the ecig is difficult. However, it can be said generally that the electronic version is pitched at a certain cost that makes it very attractive for the smoker who is looking to reduce costs substantially. Therefore we are talking about no less than a 50% saving.
Of course as with all savings, it depends on the how well you care for the device that delivers the goods. Look after it and it will provide good returns, possibly up to 70% of the cost of tobacco smoking.
Generally, most starter kits contain several devices, vaporizer spares and other essentials to get you going and have a spare to rely on if the other gives up the ghost. Batteries and the essential nicotine solution providing the hit are the other regular replacements that need to be built into an annual costing. Take a note of what you spend and compare to the cost of a similar level of cigarette smoking.
Of course, it is not just a cost to your wallet that is the benefit of the e-cig. Children, pets and friends may be subject to your smoking and you are polluting their lungs. The tragedy is that they have not chosen to do that and you are harming their health and not caring about it. With electronic cigarettes the harmful substances to passive smokers are taken out.
The fact that you wont smell like an ash tray has to be of benefit financially as well. Less trips to the dry cleaner to clean smoky clothes, trips the dentist to clean stained teeth, and no more waste of time dates trying to find a partner who wants to kiss a smoked kipper.
Not only are there financial and health benefits, the interest factor is improved through the wide range of exotic or unusual flavours offered by the nicotine solutions. Who would ever have thought about smoking a chocolate flavored cigarette.
It seems like a no-brainer. The cost savings are clear and there are other advantages that will make you wonder why you never changed from smoking normal tobacco to smoking electronic cigarettes. Take the plunge now and invest in a kit and before the year is up. You'll be amazed at how much you can save by making the switch.
