All I'm saying is that there is emerging evidence that e-cigarettes are not safe. Its early days - it took decades before the evidence for tobacco harm emerged, and it would be either naive or foolish to dismiss the evidence so far.
As for e-cigarettes without nicotine, read the second paper which discusses the problems with inhaling a heated vapour. Lungs do not like having small organic molecules inhaled into them.
It took me 3 attempts to give up smoking. Its a wickedly difficult habit to break, and I know that one of the rationalisations used is to tell yourself what your doing is not likely to cause you a problem. But in the end, why risk your health and life for the chance to inhale small organic molecules that damage every organ in your body? That the question I kept asking myself to motivate me to quit. |
The first article seems to have a lot of maybes in it. The second article seems to be more worried about the higher powered variable voltage e- cigarettes. Might be wise to keep the voltage on low. Thanks for the information.
Anyhow, I found the Euronews article from 9 months ago.

Take your pick of what to worry about.
