Are Electronic Cigarettes Safe?

The revolutionary electronic cigarette has pulled millions of people around the world who have switched from traditional cigarettes to the e-cigarette, also referred to as the safe cigarette, the e-cigarette, and the smokeless cigarette. Ever since the Surgeon General determined that cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health, cigarette companies have searched for ways to reduce tar and nicotine levels, in efforts to create a more safe smoking experience. Nothing, however, has ever come close to the electronic cigarette.

Contributing to the security benefits, the electronic cigarette has also been established as a way for smokers to quit the habit, as the level of nicotine can be carefully monitored, thus giving the smoker the option of gradually lowering the level until he/she can quit without fear of withdrawals. Most electronic cigarette refill cartridges are available in full, medium, light and none, and while electronic cigarettes are not yet approved as smoking cessation devices, the potential for the devices to be used as such is somewhat obvious.

It's suggested that people who have feel sensitivity or allergy to nicotine, pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have unsound heart conditions should discuss the use of an electronic cigarette device with a doctor before using one. Additionally, electronic cigarettes may not be used by anyone under the legal smoking age in your state.
