一个有意思的外国友人眼里的电子烟！

当我第一次听说电子烟的时候，我的第一反应是这是一个新奇的东西，不应该被认真对待。但经过仔细观察，我意识到这是一项有独创性的发明，它有可能永远改变人们吸烟的方式。

电子烟到底是什么?以下是对它的描述，它是如何运作的，以及它如何潜在地使你或你所爱的人受益。

电子烟是一种电池驱动的设备，它的外观、感觉、味道和反应都像香烟……但这不是真的香烟!它甚至能释放尼古丁，但不会产生有害的烟雾、焦油和与真正的烟草烟雾有关的化学物质。尼古丁是通过一种干净无臭的蒸汽吸入的。

电子烟通常由三部分组成:

1. 雾化器

2. 电池

3.尼古丁烟弹

注:一些较新的型号将喷雾器和尼古丁墨盒结合为一个一次性单位。这样做的好处是你总是有一个新的喷雾器，而不是一个单一的喷雾器，它会随着时间的推移而变得堵塞，效率更低。一个新的喷雾器将确保您得到最大容量的烟雾在每一次吸烟，增加一个更满意的吸烟体验。

让我们回顾一下每个组件的作用:

1. 雾化器。这会加热并蒸发液体尼古丁混合物。吸入这种蒸汽的感觉非常类似于真正的香烟烟雾，但没有相同的健康风险。它甚至有温暖的感觉，增加了一个现实的经验。蒸汽产生的云，看起来像烟，但实际上只是一种迅速消失的雾。

2. 电池。没有什么太复杂的，只是一个可充电电池的动力雾化器。它的形状看起来像一支真正的香烟。电池的寿命因型号而异。它的寿命取决于它的嘴泡的次数。通常情况下，在给电池充电之前，你可以吸150 – 400次。

3.尼古丁烟弹。这些墨盒是由水/尼古丁溶液组成的。#p#分页标题#e#一个墨盒通常相当于1 – 1.5包香烟。不同的尼古丁强度可在高，低，或中。大多数制造商也提供各种口味，从传统的烟草口味，薄荷，香草，巧克力和水果口味。

电子烟与真烟惊人地相似，但没有同样的健康风险。没有挥之不去的难闻气味。它也比香烟便宜很多。再加上你可以在任何地方使用电子烟，这使得电子烟成为一种明智而健康的选择，值得你自己或你所爱的人考虑。

以下是朋友的原文：

When I first heard about the electronic cigarette my first reaction was that this was a novelty item that wasn’t to be taken seriously. But upon closer inspection I realized that this is an ingenious invention that has the potential to revolutionize the way people smoke forever.

What exactly is an electronic cigarette? Here is a description of what it is, how it works and how it can potentially benefit you or a loved one.

The e-cigarette is a battery powered device that looks, feels, tastes, and reacts like a cigarette… but it’s not a real cigarette! It even delivers nicotine but without the harmful smoke, tar and chemicals associated with real tobacco smoke. The nicotine is inhaled via a clean odorless vapor.

An electronic cigarette is typically made up of three parts:

1. Atomizer
2. Battery
3. Nicotine Cartridge

NOTE: Some of the newer models combine the atomizer and nicotine cartridges as one disposable unit. The advantage of this is that you always have a fresh atomizer instead of a single atomizer that can become clogged and less efficient over time. A fresh atomizer will insure that you get the highest volume of vapor on each puff, adding to a more satisfactory smoking experience.

Let’s go over what each component does:

1. Atomizer. This heats up and vaporizes a mixture of liquid nicotine. The sensation of inhaling this vapor is very similar to real cigarette smoke but without the same health risks. It even has a warm feel to it which adds to a realistic experience. The vapor produces a cloud that looks like smoke but is actually just a mist that quickly disappears.

2. Battery. Nothing too complicated here, just a rechargeable battery that powers the atomizer. It is shaped to look like the body of a real cigarette. The lifespan of batteries varies from model to model. The lifespan depends on the number of mouth puffs. Typically you will get 150 – 400 puffs before having to recharge the battery.

3. Nicotine cartridge. These cartridges are made up of a water/nicotine solution. A single cartridge is typically the equivalent of 1 – 1.5 packs of tobacco cigarettes. Different nicotine strengths are available in high, low, or medium. Most manufacturers also offer a variety of flavors ranging from traditional tobacco flavor, menthol, vanilla, chocolate and fruit flavors.#p#分页标题#e#

The electronic cigarette is surprisingly similar to the real thing but without the same health risks. There is no lingering offensive odor. It’s also a lot less expensive than tobacco cigarettes. This combined with the fact that you can use it anywhere makes e-smoking a sensible and healthier alternative, one worth considering either for yourself or a loved one.
