E-Cigarettes and Vaping: A Short History

Posted by Yafr Qqater in Business

‘Vaping’ seems to have appeared out of nowhere. It didn’t exist one day and then emerged a few months later wherever we went. In fact, electronic cigarettes are not a new innovation. Neither is the idea of inhaling smoked herbs, scents, or mild poisons through vapour. That has been the case for at least as long as mankind has kept a written record, if not longer. Such techniques have been documented in both ancient China and ancient Egypt. The Romans smoked in bathhouses, and sugary tobacco smoking was known as’shisha’ in India 1,500 years ago.

In her famous series of novels, Jean M. Auel portrays many ancient cultures living in caves engaged in such smoke vaping rituals. There is sufficient archaeological evidence to back up her historical novel plot and depictions.

Inventions and Patents on Vaping
In 1927, Joseph Robinson was granted the first patent for electro-mechanical cigarettes. His invention was named the electronic vaporizer. After that, several more patents for different applications of the invention were issued. Herbert Gilbert invented the Smokeless Non-Tobacco Cigarette in the early 1960s, but it wasn’t sold to the general public like today’s smoking products, tablets, and paraphernalia.

Hon Lik, a Chinese company, invented the first true electro-mechanical cigarettes system in 2003. The style and forms are very close to what we see today. It consisted of a plastic cartridge, a small battery, a liquid nicotine compound, and an ultrasonic atomizer heating element. Despite the fact that it appears to be a complicated machine, it was surprisingly easy and inexpensive to manufacture. The irony is that no one in China cared about it or even tried to try it, considering the fact that Chinese people are now among the world’s biggest smokers (cite below).

What Was Vaping Devices’ Original Purpose?
The original purpose of this system was to help people stop smoking in order to save their lungs and prevent lung disease, lung cancer, and other lung diseases from taking their lives. It was developed with the best of intentions in order to solve a problem. The system is supposed to encourage users to get their nicotine fix while avoiding the long-term consequences of smoking conventional cigarettes. The electro-mechanical cigarettes made sense because nicotine is a 3-day addiction, which means that if you quit smoking for 3-days, you don’t even need it anymore.

Also bear in mind that vaping resembles smoking marijuana through a bong. It increases the pace at which you get high and the speed with which you get high. One can easily get nicotine into their bloodstream and alleviate anxiety and tension with a vaping product, which appears to be why humans enjoy smoking cigarettes.
