From Wikipedia: An electronic cigarette (e-cig or e-cigarette), personal vaporizer (PV) or electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) is a battery-powered vaporizer which simulates tobacco smoking by producing an aerosol[1] that resembles smoke. It generally uses a heating element known as an atomizer, that vaporizes a liquid solution known as e-liquid. E-liquids usually contain a mixture of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine, and flavorings,[2] while others release a flavored vapor without nicotine.[3] The most liked e-liquids had a nicotine content of 18 mg/ml.

However, it's similarly reasonable to say that smoking e-cigarettes is preferable to smoking tobacco cigarettes.
Speaking personally, provided the benefit (by reducing the number of tobacco smokers) is significantly greater than the harm (by increasing the number of nicotine addicts who did not previously smoke), then I am happy to have a forum for e-cigarettes which answers questions and concerns, shares opinions and advice, and educates people to the benefits and harms. |
