How The Elec Cig Was Invented
The elec cigarette was invented by a guy named Hon Lik, a 52-year-old pharmacist of mainland China who was a very heavy smoker himself. Hon was not an ordinary person. He gave lectures at the university where he studied Oriental medicine, and researched ginseng health products. His invention has since become the most loved device for helping anyone who wants to stop smoking. There has never been anything ever before that works like this to help people. Hon says the idea of the electronic cigarettes came to him in a dream in 2000: coughing and wheezing, he said that he imagined he was drowning, until suddenly the waters around him lifted into a fog. Hon's father was dying of lung cancer from smoking. He gave one of his first e-cigarettes to his dying father.It was too late for his father, but not for him.
It was then that Hon switched over to electronic cigarettes. Before he made the switch, he used to light up first thing in the morning, smoked two packs of cigarettes by the evening, and smoked a third pack over dinner and drinks with colleagues. It wasn't until his father died of lung cancer that Hon finally kicked the habit.
The story of how Hon got his inspiration to invent the elec cig began with a dream one night in 2000 when he, a heavy smoker, suffered from a respiratory infection. He coughed and wheezed constantly. He got sick and it made it difficult for him to sleep. Finally, he was able to fall asleep, but immediately, he said that he found himself drowning into a deep sea and dying imminently. He went on to say that suddenly the sea water vaporized and he found himself lying on a wonderland full of colorful fog. This dream inspired him to invent the most powerful device to help people stop smoking cigarettes.
In 2004, he finally finished inventing the electronic cigarette. It was a small battery powered device that delivered a nicotine liquid solution in a vaporized form, commonly called fog, when inhaled air activates an atomizer. It had a red light at the tip that lighted up with each drag. It did not contain the substances commonly found in regular cigarettes, such as, tar and other cancer causing agents.
Unfortunately, there are so many people hurting themselves throughout the world by smoking regular cigarettes. One statistic states that smoking kills one person every six seconds. We finally have a way to get our nicotine fix a healthy way in comparison to regular cigarettes. I thank you Mr Hon for doing what you did! You are truly a one-of-a-kind hero in all regards! I have personally benefited from your determination.
