What are e-cigarettes

What are e-cigarettes? This is a fundamental question.

If this issue is not thought through and explained clearly, there will be no way for all the people who are concerned about and concerned about the e-cigarette industry to have in-depth communication, and there will be no consensus, so as to jointly carry forward the advantages and overcome the disadvantages, and the orderly development of the e-cigarette industry will be difficult. Therefore, we need to clarify briefly for the public what e-cigarettes are.



How e-cigarettes got their name

When it comes to e-cigarettes, you might think their name is translated from the word E-cigarette. The reasonableness of this explanation lies in: on the one hand, logically, it is in the order of Cigarette first followed by E-cigarette. On the other hand, it also caters to the popular culture's pursuit of foreign products and foreign culture, so that everyone is better to accept.

In fact, e-cigarettes and e-cigarettes appeared on Chinese and foreign screens at about the same time. Long before E-cigarette or E-cig became popular abroad, the name e-cigarette appeared in China. At the same time, there is also reason to believe that the creation of the name of E-cigarette is caused by the introduction of the earliest electronic cigarette products such as cigarettes into Europe and the United States (to explain this issue needs a larger space, I will not extend it here).

The earliest official document we can find documenting e-cigarettes is Han Li's patent application for "A Non-combustible Electronic Atomized Cigarette" (public number: CN1530041A) filed in March 2003. The patent is widely considered to mark the birth of e-cigarettes.
