A Little Electronic Cigarette History


Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik is often given credit for inventing the e-cigarette. Lik’s father had died because of lung cancer and this gave the pharmacist the impetus to conjure up a way to allow smokers to enjoy the sensation of smoking without the potentially fatal side effects. His creation was released in May 2004 on the Chinese market but did you know that electronic cigarettes could have been released much sooner?

Herbert A. Gilbert had actually filed a patent for a smokeless cigarette in 1963. Although several companies approached him, there is no mention of this invention after 1967. It would have been a timely release as tobacco smoking reached its peak in 1965. If Gilbert’s creation had been made public, it may have been a huge success because the public were just being alerted to the dangers of cigarettes.

We are confident that e-smoking is a healthier alternative to tobacco and an increasing body of research proves this to be the case.
