It seems that "vaping" has appeared out of nowhere. Once it did not exist, and after a moment, wherever you go, someone is hovering.
In fact, e-cigarettes are nothing new. There is also no concept of using steam to inhale smoldering herbs, aromas or tobacco. In fact, this has been happening since humanity has kept written records, and perhaps even longer. There are descriptions of such techniques in Ancient China, as well as in Ancient Egypt. The Romans often soared in baths, and in India 1500 years ago they called the inhalation of sweet tobacco "hookah".
One famous writer, Jean M. Auel, in his famous novel, describes several ancient civilizations living in caves, which participated in similar rituals of smoking. Indeed, there is ample archaeological evidence to support the storyline of her historical novel.
Patents and inventions of electronic cigarettes
In 1927, Joseph Robinson received the first patent for an electronic cigarette. He called his invention "electronic vaporizer". After that, several more patents were issued for various fields of application of this invention.
In the early 1960s, a gentleman named Herbert Gilbert invented a clever device called the Smokeless Non-Tobacco Cigarette. However, his device did not gain widespread popularity, but it served as the prototype for vaping accessories today.
In 2003, the Chinese company Hon Lik invented the first real e-cigarette. This electronic device consisted of a plastic cartridge, a small battery, a liquid nicotine compound, and a heating element using an ultrasonic atomizer. Although it sounds like a complex machine, Hon Lik's e-cigarette was relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture. The funny thing is that no one in China at that time was particularly interested in the fashionable device, although today the Chinese are one of the biggest fans of vaping in the world.
What is the original purpose of an electronic cigarette?
The device was created as an alternative to traditional smoking. The greatest intent was to solve the problem of lung disease, lung cancer and other nicotine-related diseases.
The device was supposed to preserve the nicotine effect without the long-term effects associated with smoking regular cigarettes. Since nicotine is roughly 3-day addictive, which means that if you quit smoking for 3 days, you won't need it anymore, so e-cigarettes made sense.
