eCigs “Same as Caffine”

e Cigs and Caffine?

Dr. Elizabeth Whelan from the Daily Caller wrote an article today on the unfounded health scares of the electronic cigarette. In her words
“E-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes), which are an odorless and flame less clean nicotine delivery system, stand accused of containing “carcinogens” and of being as dangerous as real cigarettes.

But e-cigarettes pose little or no harm compared to real cigarettes. What is harmful about traditional cigarette smoking is the products of combustion that are created when the smoker lights up. Nicotine, in itself, although highly addictive, isn’t particularly harmful — its “toxicity” is about the same as caffeine. E-cigarettes give smokers the nicotine “fix” they want — without the frightening chemical mix produced by the combustion in traditional cigarettes.
So-called public health and anti-smoking groups who condemn the e-cigarettes as health hazards similar to traditional smoking are doing a great disservice to the tens of millions of addicted cigarette smokers in America.”
