Are smokeless cigarettes dangerous? Smokeless cigarettes are a collective noun for e-cigarette. Smoke as a noun, is defined in an internet dictionary as the gaseous system made of small particles of organic matter in the air, resulting mainly from burning organic materials. Smoke as a verb, is to inhale and exhale the fumes of tobacco or something like tobacco.   As a verb, smoking is not really dangerous to health, if it is not tobacco, but as like tobacco. If you are smoking water vapor with nicotine, which is not inhaling and exhaling fumes of tobacco, you are not really having smoke.

But, cigarette smoking is fun and nice to look at, and it makes you feel comfortable and helps you relax. The looks can be replaced by fake smoking, and animation smoking is like the real one. The act itself really looks good. Moreover, relaxation and comfort ability can be helped by nicotine which is not dangerous at all. Smokeless cigarettes do not intrinsically give off smoke as defined as noun. It is still smoking but smoking fake cigarettes. The concern is on health.

Smoking tobacco is dangerous because it is proven that the harmful ingredients in cigarettes cause many kinds of ailments such as emphysema, heart disease, or lung cancer. Cigarette smoking-related diseases do claim a lot of lives. And we have to do something to prevent this. The solution to prevent this is very simple but hard to do thing, because of addiction to nicotine. It is not to smoke cigarette as a verb, or not to have smoke as a noun. Then we could do something as an adult smokers with responsibility and respect for ourselves and for others, a concern as in having ourselves a clean good puff and also not letting others be exposed to second hand smoke from real cigarettes which are much more dangerous than the first hand.

That is why; a Chinese inventor-pharmacist named Han Lik took the first credit to have done something to prevent this negative effect of cigarette smoking. He had invented the first smokeless cigarette. It was hypothesized that pricking the side part of the body of the cigarette filter with needle, that is, making a hole in order to mix the smoke inside the cigarette with more air, dilutes the effect of harmful effect of cigarette smoke since air has water vapor that washes off any element. It is not really inhaling and exhaling fumes of cigarette but, it is adding water vapor in the fumes. Then it was developed in 2003 and was placed in the market by the year 2004. Now it is sold all over the world and has gained much support and respect among cigarette smokers.

This kind of cigarette is now marketed in different flavor with respect to the one who likes. Perhaps in the future it can be of help for those with asthma. It can be placed with asthma relieving vapor chips that works like a miniature vaporizer. Smokeless cigarettes give off vapor.
