Therefore, various diseases such as lung cancer and circulatory diseases (such as Burger's disease caused by laryngeal cancer and vasoconstriction) And is not generally recommended. In addition, smoking cessation areas are greatly expanded because of the effects of secondhand smoke even to the people who do not smoke. However, it is very difficult for lovers to stop cigarettes that have been habitually smoking due to their addictive nature.

Recently, electronic cigarettes have been developed and marketed for smoking cessation aids, which have similar effects to actual cigarettes. E-cigarettes generally vaporize liquid essences to which flavor components are added to generate steam (smoke) as a replacement for existing cigarette smoke, thereby providing the user with a feeling similar to smoking a real cigarette.

At this time, the generated steam may contain a substance such as nicotine or tar, or may not contain any substance at all. Recently, many attempts have been made to adopt a liquid essence to which a fragrance ingredient is added so as not to give harm to the human body. Steam is generated by vaporizing the liquid essence through a heating method using an electric heating line or an ultrasonic vibration type.
