Electronic Cigarettes Do Not Emit Any Smoke

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

That’s not smoke coming out of the e-cig user’s mouth. It is harmless vapour – coloured water vapour.

How Safe is the Electronic Cigarette To Use?

Monday, January 17th, 2011

The electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is a singular product that uses a lithium ion battery and a small heating element called an atomiser, to vapourise a solution into a vapour that may be breathed and exhaled. This resembles traditional smoke. The difference is that there is no combustion, just vapourisation. This eliminates any tars and any second hand smoke normally associated with cigarettes.The new smoking laws prohibiting smoking in public places define smoking by referring to “ignition”, “combustion” “smoke” and “tobacco”. By these definitions the electronic cigarette is exempt from the new restrictions and can be used in public places. Obviously there are other benefits too, like no smell, no fire hazard, no mess and no smoke.
