E-cigarettes are widely hailed as an option in the treatment of nicotine addicts.

It advices the users to use restraint till a national body can show the effects of e-cigarette in a clearer light.

E-cigarettes are being touted as the safer alternative to tobacco smoking. While this is definitely true, it’s pure nicotine not pure air!
