Addictions are normally understood to be a pattern of use over time with a substance or behavior that is typically connected with increased usage, as well as harmful implications. If I cannot go 24 hours with out a particular substance or behavior, that usually indicates an issue, indicative of an addiction. In order for me to stop smoking marijuana, I must first realize there is a problem.
You might be declaring that, “I understand exactly what you are sharing with me, however I merely use on week-ends.” Well unfortunately, “binging” as many people point out, such as making use of cannabis on Friday or Saturday exclusively, will not get rid of the “addictive” label.
The electronic cigarette is a recent development currently experiencing a tremendous increase in popularity. Electronic cigarettes, AKA e-cigarettes or personal vaporizers, simulate for the user the feeling of smoking tobacco cigarettes without the detrimental effects to their health. The more recent versions have been designed to make them smaller and more cost effective.
It may look like a complex device but using it is actually very simple. One just has to inhale air through the mouthpiece. The air being drawn activates the heating element inside the device which evaporates the e-liquid (which contains the nicotine) contained in the cartridge. The mouthpiece is designed to let the air flow out of the device and into the mouth just like in a real tobacco cigarette.
