Green Smoke Review
Green smoke is an electronic cigarette designed for smokers who want to reduce the amount of harmful chemicals they take in while still getting the nicotine their body craves and the psychological satisfaction of drawing on a cigarette. Due to the fact, that these cigarettes can be purchased with non nicotine cartridges for those who want to quit smoking this review will deal with Green Smoke as a quit smoking aid.
The Official Website
Keeping in mind that the official website is geared towards those who want to continue the smoking experience rather than those who want to quit smoking, the website does give plenty of information regarding their product including the fact that you can purchase the cartridges with varying amounts of nicotine. For those who want to use Green Smoke as a step down quit smoking program this means they can buy cartridges containing less and less nicotine. In addition for those who want to start out with a no nicotine cartridge those are available as well.
The entire idea behind using electronic cigarettes as a quit smoking aid is that you use these cigarettes to give you the psychological feel that you are smoking (actually dragging on the cigarettes) while beating the physical addiction to nicotine. Keep in mind that you will still experience all the withdrawal symptoms of quitting smoking as there is nothing contained in the vapor of electronic cigarettes that will ease the nausea, headaches, irritability, or other withdrawal symptoms. In essence you are quitting smoking cold turkey.
Does Green Smoke Bill Itself As A No Smoking Aid?
In all fairness to the manufacturers of Green Smoke it should be stated clearly that this product is not billed by the manufacturers as a stop smoking aid. In fact, their advertisements clearly state that while their product is not cheap it is a cheaper alternative to smoking than actual cigarettes and due to the fact that it produces no second hand smoke it is healthier for those around the smoker than traditional cigarettes. However, upon searching their website and the Internet there seems to be no claims by the company itself that this product will be effective if used as a quit smoking aid. Therefore, any suggestion of using this product to quit smoking comes from consumers who have used the product for this purpose and it not based on any claims by the manufacturer.
Review Of Green Smoke As A Quit Smoking Aid
Most of the reviews about using Green Smoke as a quit smoking aid are professional reviews, most of which point out that this product is ineffective in helping people quit smoking. The reason being that even if you choose the no nicotine cartridges and actually give up nicotine, the fact that you are still going through the motions of smoking will make it more likely that you will eventually go back to smoking regular cigarettes or at least go back to using nicotine as the cravings will continue due to the ongoing psychological addiction.
However, most reviews do point out that if you are not going to quit smoking, e cigarettes may provide health benefits to both you and your family as you are ridding your body of the chemicals in the tobacco itself and there is no second hand smoke to affect those around you.
Conclusion
The manufacturers of Green Smoke did not design this electronic cigarette to be a quit smoking aid nor do they state this cigarette can be used for that purpose. Since the company makes no promises that this device will help you stop smoking it cannot be said that it failed to live up to it’s promises. However, it is clear that Green Smoke or any other electronic cigarette will not be effective in helping the vast majority of smokers quit smoking even if you choose cartridges that contain no nicotine. In order to quit smoking, smokers must break both the physical and psychological addiction to smoking and electronic cigarettes are by their very nature designed to feed not break that psychological addiction. Therefore, it is recommended if you are considering using Green Smoke as a stop smoking aid that you do not do so but, instead choose a product that is designed and manufactured to help you quit smoking and that has proven itself effective in doing so.
