Before talking to you about the electronic cigarette, it is important to tell you about the history of the cigarette which dates back thousands of years.

Also known as an e-cigarette or vapoteuse, the electronic cigarette is a small object, an electronic device that heats a liquid containing several types of fruity or sweet aromas.
