Best E Cigarette

The first e-cigarette was developed by a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik in 2003. He created the device as a safer alternative to smoking traditional tobacco products after his father, a heavy smoker, died from lung cancer. Hon Lik’s invention used a piezoelectric ultrasound-emitting element to vaporize a liquid solution containing nicotine, offering smokers a nicotine delivery mechanism without the harmful effects of smoking tobacco. The product was first introduced to the Chinese market in 2004 and eventually spread worldwide, leading to the creation of various versions and technologies in the e-cigarette industry.
