Are Electronic Cigarettes a Safe Alternative for Smokers?

Electronic cigarettes, mostly known as e-cigarettes, have recently been advertised as a “safe” alternative to regular cigarettes, however according to the recent study, this extremely popular trend is harmful to overall health of a person. Nowadays about 700,000 people use such electronic devices in order to give up smoking. E-cigarettes deliver nicotine through a vapor.

  1. Hi Jen,
    May I personally know what your stance is in the debate of ecigs being branded as a "safe" alternative? Well if you ask me, I think e-cigarettes are great, being able to 'vape' the nicotine and in a way imitate the habit of smoking..only difference is it has no tar and contains much less chemicals found in regular tobacco. I don't know about the harmfulness you described but if you ask me, anything we intake when overdone can be harmful. Btw, may I have the link of the recent study you said? I'd like to check it out myself whether if it really has basis.

    Thanks,
    Mark
