Sorry Anonymous, I have to disagree. Although there is no smoke involved, the electronic cigarette still is delivering nicotine and therefore are just as habit forming as traditional cigarettes. Besides nicotine, there are potentially other very dangerous chemicals in the cartridge. Last year the FDA stop shipments of electronic cigarettes from China because the manufacturer would not disclose exactly what chemicals were being used. Research shows because these chemicals are delivered as a vapor they potentially go deeper into your lungs than traditional cigarettes and over the next few years scientists strongly believe we should start to see the direct health effects of this so-called "safe alternative." I have written in-depth about this subject on my blog for anyone who is looking for additional information. The only aspect of electronic cigarettes that may be safer than traditional tobacco cigarettes is that electronic cigarettes are smokeless, therefore eliminating the secondhand smoke aspect for others. If you are trying to quit, I would strongly advise you look for another alternative that will break the smoking habit rather than reinforcing it.
