			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Some people simply don’t want to give up nicotine or smoking. However, an alternative to traditional cigarettes may be a better choice. There are many reasons for quitting tobacco and choosing to smoke electronic cigarettes instead.</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk">electronic cigarette</a> allows smokers to avoid some of the worst aspects of traditional cigarettes while still allowing them to enjoy the habit. Below are just some of the reasons why more and more smokers are switching to this highly realistic substitute for tobacco smoking.</p>
<h3>Tobacco Free Smoking</h3>
<p>The tar from smoking doesn’t come from the nicotine, but actually comes from the process of burning tobacco to deliver nicotine. Tar is a resinous material produced by smoking a normal tobacco cigarette. The electronic cigarette is both tobacco free and tar free and delivers nicotine instantly without burning any substance. The electronic cigarette still tastes like a normal cigarette and even provides the same smoking sensation (hit) as a normal cigarette.</p>
<h3>No Passive Smoke</h3>
<p>Users of <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk">electronic cigarettes</a> can enjoy smoking in a socially acceptable way without affecting others. There is no longer a need to worry about offending non-smokers or about the harm caused by passive smoking. Electronic cigarettes do not emit passive smoke. The smoker of an electronic cigarette inhales and exhales a tobacco or menthol flavored water based vapor which contains nicotine. This means that the electronic cigarette can be used anywhere without concern.</p>
<h3>Electronic Cigarette Smoking is Cheaper</h3>
<p>There is a small initial outlay for a starter kit in order to convert to electronic smoking. The average smoker will save a few thousand pounds each year. Users will save even more as the price of traditional cigarettes increases. Electronic  smoking is around 85 percent cheaper than tobacco and the cost of 20 cigarettes works out at around 99p.</p>
<h3>Smoking Ban Exempt</h3>
<p>Unlike traditional cigarettes, the electronic cigarette can be enjoyed practically anywhere. The electronic cigarette is exempt from the smoking ban as the device is tobacco free and is not lit. This means you can smoke it in buildings and places where regular smoking is banned including public houses, restaurants, offices, shops and other places of work.</p>
<p>However, some discretion on the users part is required&#8230;. it is 100% legal to smoke the electronic cigarette anywhere in the UK. But expect some very sharp and dirty looks if you try smoking the device in a church or other place which might cause offense!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The team started supplying a basic electronic cigarette starter kit 3 years through a partner trading company. The 1st generation of e-cigarettes were popular with those looking for an alternative to smoking tobacco. Despite an early success, we believed this electronic smoking device could be improved.</strong></p>
<p>Much has changed since the launch of the original electronic cigarette model. After intensive research, we now have a 3rd generation <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk">electronic cigarette</a> to beat all rivals. The modified lithium-ion battery increases the number of recharge cycles prolonging the life of the battery. A brown cigarette styled paper added to the plastic filter conveys the feeling of holding a normal cigarette. Separate atomisers and cartridges have been replaced by a high performance combined cartomizer (cartomiser) unit to increase the number of cigarettes per refill.</p>
<p>The new wave of cartomizers (cartomisers) produce what can only be described as the closest experience to smoking a real cigarette as possible. Cartomizer vapor production is maximzed to present a full flavored throat hit to satisfy heavy, light or social smokers.</p>
<p>Buying direct from VIP instead of by way of an affiliate, reseller or third party can cost significantly less. We only supply our own &#8216;exclusive&#8217; electronic cigarette which ensures our customers get the best deal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>VIP have lowered the price of their Disposable Electronic Cigarette. You can can buy a throwaway electronic cigarette directly from VIP for only £7.99!</strong></p>
<p>The Disposable Electronic Cigarette usually retails for between £11.99 and £14.99 in shopping malls, kiosks and pubs, but you can buy the disposable <span style="text-decoration: underline;">direct</span> from VIP  and save money. The disposable is ideal for smokers who need a temporary smoking alternative such as for a night out or a weekend away.</p>

You get the same cigarette taste and even the same sensation, but it does not contain tobacco or emit any first or second-hand smoke. The electronic cigarette substitutes a vapor for the cigarette smoke, which is inhaled from the filter without needing to burn anything.</p>
<p>You can use the Disposable Electronic Cigarette at home, in pubs with friends, in the office or work place and in restaurants without offending others or breaking the law. Electronic cigarettes are not subject to smoking ban laws and restrictions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The cartomiser (US: cartomizer) combines the atomiser of an electronic cigarette with the nicotine cartridge refill filter.</strong></p>
<p>Rechargeable models of the <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk">VIP Electronic Cigarette</a> are supplied with <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/index.php?cPath=29">cartomisers</a> (cartomizers).</p>
<p><strong>History</strong></p>
<p>The first generation of electronic cigarettes came in three parts:</p>
<p>a battery, an atomiser which screwed on to the electronic cigarette, and a nicotine cartridge which was pushed on to the atomiser.</p>
<p>Atomisers were prone to failing and users needed to carry spares in case  an atomiser stopped working without warning. Typical cartridges often leaked and the volume of vapor and throat hit varied, sometimes providing no feeling at all.</p>
<p><strong>Benefis of the New Generation</strong></p>
<p>Cartomisers are excellent value for money and give a greater voume of vapor. On average, VIP cartomisers/cartomizers last for around 40 cigarettes worth.</p>
<p>Cartomisers/cartomizers are designed for the VIP electronic cigarette, but should be compatible with RN4081 models of electronic cigarettes. Cartomisers can be purchased in packs ranging from 5 (200 cigs) to 50 (2000 cigs). Available in Traditional Tobacco High and Medium, or Menthol High.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tobacco cigarette smokers complain about the smoking ban in the UK, but is it that bad?</strong></p>
<p>As an ex-cigarette smoker myself, I remember how it was before the smoking ban in the UK. Smoking was allowed in pubs and even in restaurants. When I was a teenager, you could light up a cigarette on the top deck of the bus, legally. But, I also remember the clouds of tobacco smoke on the bus and in pubs and it was unpleasant after a few minutes.</p>
<p>Looking back to my youth reminded me of Dubai airport. Dubai could have the strictest laws in the world and yet smoking is still allowed in designated areas inside the modern, luxury airport. Anyone who smokes and has passed through Dubai can relate to the issue of second-hand smoke! Just step inside the airport smoking room and you suddenly lose the urge to light up as all your efforts go into breathing and keeping conscious. Through the dense tobacco fog you can make out the glowing cigarette tips, emitting cloud upon cloud of toxic smoke. The craving finally take overs and you light up, even though you have just inhaled the smoke from 200 cigarettes. After 5 or 6 puffs you know it&#8217;s time to get out. While it&#8217;s still possible, and while you are upright, you brave the tobacco fog gasping for air and somehow find the door.</p>
<p>Millions of travellers passing through Dubai who are smokers, are grateful for this small pleasure despite exposure to second-hand smoke in the extreme.</p>
<p>There should be a review of the smoking ban here in the UK, especially for pubs, clubs and bingo places. Dedicated smoking rooms with adequate air extraction could be made available. That said, I would rather pubs remain smoke-free than return to the days when you couldn&#8217;t see the bar for tobacco smoke.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk">electronic cigarette</a> smoke-free alternative from <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk">VIP Electronic Cigarette</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The 2008 report &#8216;Beyond Smoking Kills&#8217;, highlighted the need for research and the commercial development of a pure nicotine device for long-term use as a replacement for smoking. </strong></p>
<p>In response there have been a variety of nicotine inhaler devices produced that mimic the appearance of cigarettes, but many of these e-cigarettes, especially earlier models, lack the ability to replicate tobacco smoking.</p>
<p>Recent information from ASH suggests that 3% of smokers in the UK are using electronic cigarettes instead of tobacco. Awareness and use of e-cigarettes was measured as part of a 2010 ASH/YouGov national survey.  The survey concluded 52% of smokers quizzed had heard of e-cigarettes but and not yet tried them. Nearly 10% reported having tried e-cigarettes and 3% of smokers were using them. Satisfying the urge to to smoke and helping to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked were seen as the main benefits of using the e-cigarette, particularly among heavy smokers.</p>
<p>The UK population is rapidly approaching 63 million. The survey suggests that around 400,000 of the UK&#8217;s 13.5 million smoking population use the e-cigarette.</p>
<p>The electronic cigarette is a smokeless cigarette which does not contain tobacco. Research in e-cigarette development is constantly improving. VIP Electronic Cigarette are now in the third generation of e-cigarette production. The latest e-cigarette model is a 2-piece design which uses a high performance nicotine cartomizer instead of a cartridge.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The majority of smokers and employers worldwide are now in support of 1005 smoke-free work sites, suggesting the need for new smoking bans and a global cessation program.</strong></p>
<p>Employees and employers from Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey and the United Kingdom took part in a global workplace smoking survey. Around 75% of workers who smoke and 87 percent of employers supported a smoke-free work place.</p>
<p>Although nearly three-quarters of employees supported workplace smoking bans, this varied by region and country. Seventy-eight percent of Asian employees supported smoke-free work sites, compared to only 51 percent of European employees.</p>
<p>Support for workplace smoking bans among employers was 87 percent in all countries. The greatest support was in India at 96 percent, Taiwan 95 percent and the United Kingdom 95 percent. The least support for a smoking ban was in South Korea 72 percent and Japan 73 percent according to figures published in International Journal of Public Health.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.vipelectroniccigarette.co.uk/">electronic cigarette</a> is an ideal solution for both employers and smokers who wish to smoke a cigarette in the workplace. The electronic cigarette does no fall into the smoking ban category. It is legal to use an electronic cigarette in an office or shop, on building sites and in company vehicles such as wagons and vans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Light or mild cigarettes are the most popular selling tobacco cigarettes and are set to be phased out as part of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.</strong></p>
<p>Tobacco companies pushed certain cigarettes as &#8216;light, mild or low tar,&#8217; insinuating these are healthier than regular full strength cigarettes. Consumers believe falsely that they are smoking less harmful cigarettes. However, research has shown that so-called low, mild and light cigarettes are just as harmful.</p>
<p>Anti-smoking groups and smoking awareness organisations such as the American Lung Association are hoping smokers will see this as a good time to quit.</p>
<p>Many people are unaware that it is the toxic smoke itself which is harmful and not the nicotine. People who smoke tobacco mild, light or low tar cigarettes are still inhaling the thousands of toxins from tobacco smoke.</p>
<p>By comparison, the electronic cigarette does not burn any substance and the user does not inhale any physical smoke. Electronic smoking allows the inhaling of a flavoured nicotine vapor given the appearance of smoke, but in reality this mist like vapor is more comparable to steam from a kettle.</p>
