What are E-cigarettes?
E-cigarettes or Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are battery powered smoking devices.
They have cartridges filled with liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings and chemicals. The liquid is heated into an aerosol, which the person inhales.
Because the aerosol produced resembles vapor, using E-cigarettes is called VAPING.
The Emergence
After repeated unavailing attempts, which dates back to 1930s, E-cigarettes were first created in 2003 in China by Hon Lik, a 52-year-old pharmacist, inventor and smoker. It was sold as a healthy alternative to tobacco.
E-cigarettes are often called e-cigs, e-hookahs, vapes, vape pens, tank systems or mods
