WHO fuming over E-Cigarettes

Some say the WHO are blowing smoke over it...

Sorry after the 'they've been left fuming' I couldn't resist...

What the hell is an e-cigarette? I get that it does not contain real tobacco and that it does not actually burn, but where does the smoke come from? I am sure it is not very healthy to inhale plastic either, so no wonder the WHO are upset.

"E-cigarettes usually come as a steel tube containing liquid nicotine and other chemicals. Smokers suck on the tube without lighting up and the tube releases a mist that is absorbed into the lungs. The makers would have you believe that the nicotine hit works somewhat like patches and that the 'holding and sucking' action [I know, I know] helps alleviate the usual withdrawal symptoms."

e-cigarettes are old-fashioned now everyone's smoking i-cigarettes.

Is there a risk of second hand mist?

This is an advertisement. No one new what these things were until now.

I don't understand why you would replace a real ciggarette with an e-ciggarette for someone who is trying to quit smoking. They both have nicotine in them, which only makes it worse. It's obviously not going to help smokers quit. Plus, there hasn't been any testing on them.

I never heard of an e-cigarette until now and someone mentioned the i-cigarrette is the new thing. I think I will stick to the old school j-cigarette.

What's the 'e' for?
