Financial and social benefits of e-cigarettes

Financial Benefits of E-Cigs

Cheaper than Cigarettes. If you compare the nicotine content of an e-cigarette cartridge with that of cigarettes, you’ll find that you get around 20 cigarettes per cartridge. Packs of five cartridges only cost about twice as much (in some states, roughly the same) as a pack of cigarettes, so the savings are evident. For the cost of 20-40 tobacco cigarettes’ worth of nicotine, you can get the equivalent of 100 with e-cigs. Starter kits cost around $60 (some are cheaper, of course), but that’s a one-off purchase which is quickly recouped through other savings.

Cheaper Life Insurance. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death, so it drives up the cost of your life insurance. Using an e-cig is vaping, not smoking, and the lack of associated dangers makes for cheaper insurance.


Social Benefits of E-Cigarettes

No Smell. You won’t stink of cigarette smoke anymore. If anything, e-cigarettes smell faintly of the flavor in the cartridge and nothing else. No musty clothes, smoke-sodden furniture or bad breath.

No Ash. Since there is no combustion with e-cigs, you don’t need an ashtray and you won’t make a mess. Likewise, there are no butts to constantly dispose of.

Stay Inside. E-cigarettes don’t create smoke, and are therefore exempt from the vast majority of smoking bans. No more standing outside a bar in the rain to get your nicotine.

No Accidental Burns. There is no fire with e-cigarettes, so the days when an errant ember destroys a friend’s carpet are long gone.

There are so many benefits of e-cigarettes over tobacco smoking it’s unusual that smokers still exist at all. With the safer option, you still get the nicotine you’re looking for, just none of the baggage that goes with it!
