A bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone has any opinion on these devices, basically if they work and if they are actually a safety hazzard. Also if anyone here has bought these or knows where to buy them, please let me know
Basically I need these for some relatives of mine whom I am hoping that through them, will stop smoking. Any information would be appreciated
I know some relatives of mine who are using these e-cigarettes. They say they are quite good, and in fact they stopped smoking, and are using this device instead. There exist hundreds of flavours for these e-cigarettes as well!
Regarding the safety hazards, I don't know if these e-cigarettes pose any risks in the long term.
They're still smoking nicotine, which is the addictive substance in cigarettes, and also found to be carcinogenic in animals. Only reason to use e-cigarettes over normal cigarettes is that it's cheaper. They have not been proven to be safer, and inhaling nicotine straight into the lungs probably makes you more addicted to it than when you're smoking a normal cigarette, where the smoke and heat will limit how large a puff you take and therefore the amount of nicotine you're ingesting.

tl;dr they're just as bad as normal cigarettes.

Did you ever open one?
A cigarette needs a filter as it does not contain nicotine only, but about another thousand of 'stuff'

They're both bad. A cigarette puff consists of thousands of chemicals, in extremely small doses, an e-cigarette puff is one massive dose(comparatively) of a chemical that's known to be carcinogenic and addictive. Some people define that as safer. I don't.
it contains much much much less nicotine than in a normal cig. and minus the rubbish in a normal cig too

The dosage of nicotine depends on the extract strength you're smoking. And since it's not mixed up with other crap it's more easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
