Electronic Cigarettes from Cigotine are Better for You and the Environment

San Francisco, CA (prHWY.com) December 20, 2012 - NEW YORK, NY - Celebrities like Johnny Depp and Katherine Heigl claimed it helped them quit smoking. Maybe you've seen people in non-smoking bars exhaling what seems like smoke from one. It often looks like a cigarette, even tastes like it, but it's not. It's the electronic cigarette, an alternative to cigarette smoking that supposedly has fewer chemicals and is becoming increasingly popular.

The debate rages as to the safety of electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, but are these little devices better for the environment? And which are the best electronic cigarettes for the job?
"Despite the fact that smoking has decreased in the U.S. by 28 percent in the past decade, cigarette butts remain the most littered item, and they account for 38 percent of litter worldwide," says Steve Bayonne, President, Cigotine LLC. "During the International Coastal Cleanup last year, more than 2 million cigarette butts were collected, accounting for 21 percent of the 7.4 million pounds of debris that were collected."

While e-cigarettes certainly cut down on cigarette butt pollution, there is still the matter of proper disposal.

When you buy electronic cigarettes from Cigotine, you'll get a cartridge that contains flavors and nicotine in liquid form, a heating element and a battery that supplies power to heat the liquid. The electronic cigarette also allows the battery to recharge by plugging it into an outlet.

But which e-cigs are the best for the environment? Bayonne stands behind his product:
"Cigotine batteries are long-lasting, and take much longer to wear down before needing to be disposed. Once the e-cigarette device becomes obsolete, it shouldn't be tossed in the trash."
While the act of recycling this kind of e-waste shouldn't be a problem, it might be hard to find a recycler that will accept electronic cigarettes, as many of them specialize in more universal waste, like televisions and computers.

There's no denying that the electronic cigarette is catching on among recovering smokers, especially when one cartridge equates to a pack of cigarettes and a pack of five cartridges can range between $6 and $10. Despite whether they really help people quit smoking or they are healthier than regular cigarettes, electronic cigarettes can cut down on pollution as long as they are disposed of properly.
