1151676_no_smokingRichmond is just one of many cities that have initialized a campaign to keep their air smoke-free.  As the public becomes more aware of the health risks involved with smoking and the generation who first received this information becomes more a part of our government, we will likely see many more restrictions when it comes to smoking in public.  While Richmond may not have as stringent laws as some other locations, the city is still doing their best to keep their residents healthy.  By making a switch to an alternative to smoking, you can help the city out in their quest.

 

Why Do You Smoke?

 

Have you ever actually wondered why you smoke?  Not why you first started smoking but why you still smoke?  Chances are that smoking has become such a part of your life that you don’t even consider why you smoke until it is time for you to consider quitting.  Years ago, smoking was a symbol of sophistication and all of the coolest and classiest stars couldn’t be found without a cigarette dangling from between their fingers or lips, so it is no wonder so many young people picked up the habit.  However, if you ask yourself why you smoke NOW, you may not have a good answer.

 

A Healthier Habit

 

The relapse rate for smokers is higher than that of heroin addicts, indicating that nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs that you can buy, legal or otherwise.  Once you have the habit, it is truly tough to break.  Using an electronic cigarette to wean you from the nicotine can help you beat the cigarette without having to break the habit.  Rather, it is a great tool that provides the same nicotine, hand movements, and inhalation required for smoking a cigarette, so you won’t even feel like you are missing something.

 

Everyone in Richmond needs to do their part to keep the air smoke free.  By making the switch to an electronic cigarette, you are doing your part.  Considering how comparable electronic cigarettes are to the real thing, you have no reason not to try.
