The recent Royal Wedding brought with it a huge amount of interest in both the Windsor and the Middleton families – their lives, their wardrobes, their partners and their personal habits.
While Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy’s on/ off relationship with each other (not to mention tobacco) has been well-documented, Wills and Kate have managed to remain relatively ‘squeaky clean’. They’ve avoided unwanted press attention and embarrassing photos, apart from a few rumours which surfaced in the lead-up to the big day, which suggested Kate might be smoking to deal with wedding pressure.
So while all eyes were on Wills and Kate at the Royal Wedding, their siblings attracted a fair amount of attention themselves, notably Pippa Middleton for her figure-hugging white dress and Prince Harry for his unabashed flirting!
Pippa’s officially been branded ‘smoking hot’ by multiple sources, but would she date a smoker? Or are Harry’s efforts in vain? He might be royalty, but Harry’s dirty habit could lead to smelly clothes, hair and breath, and yellow teeth and fingers. We all know he’s not short on cash, but is Harry aware he could save up to £200 a month by switching to an electronic cigarette? And would he really want to expose himself and the lovely Miss Middleton to over 4000 harmful substances, chemicals and carcinogens every time he lights up?
Electronic cigarettes provide a way to ‘smoke without smoking’. Using an atomiser powered by a battery, the devices heat liquid nicotine, which is then exhaled alongside water vapour to give the effect of breathing out ‘smoke’. Cartridges come in a variety of strengths and flavours, meaning users can try menthol or cherry options and eventually work their way down to a nicotine-free cartridge. Packs are often sleek, subtle and look exactly like a normal cigarette packet abercrombie sale , with room for 2 batteries, 10 cartridges and a USB charger. The products use Lithium-based batteries, which are long lasting and don’t need charging halfway through the day.
The products are legal to smoke indoors, meaning users can enjoy them in pubs, bars, restaurants, clubs and even on aeroplanes. Perhaps the Queen might even bend the rules and let Harry smoke an ecig in Buckingham Palace!
The introduction of electronic cigarettes in 2003 provided the option of using a product which drastically reduced the user’s consumption of around 4000 harmful chemicals, carcinogens and poisons found in normal cigarettes, while still indulging the ‘hand-to-mouth’ habit and processes involved in actually smoking.
