Abstract

Provided is an anion electronic cigarette that includes an atomizer (1) and battery assembly (2) which are electrically connected to each other. The anionic electronic cigarette further includes an anion generation device, comprising an anion generator (14) which is electrically connected to the control circuit provided in the battery assembly (2). The anion electronic cigarette causes electronic smoke comprised of high-density anions to enter the human body, which can help smokers to mitigate the smoking addiction and even quit smoking, while providing a cleaner a method of smoking. At the same time, when it is required to add liquid tobacco tar into the electronic cigarette in the present invention, it only requires opening the cigarette nozzle and pulling out the sealing pillar from the tar injection hole to inject tobacco tar into the tobacco tar cavity, which is fast and convenient and is not easy for tar to leak.
