Some companies market electronic cigarettes as a healthier alternative to tobacco smoking and make claims that most of the harmful material produced by the combustion of tobacco in traditional cigarettes is not present in the atomised liquid of electronic cigarettes.[citation needed] They have also been marketed as a way to curtail an addiction to nicotine.[4] However, laboratory analysis on two brands of electronic cigarette cartridges by the Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis of the US FDA found the presence of carcinogens and toxic chemicals such as diethylene glycol. [5]
In September 2008, the World Health Organization issued a release proclaiming that it does not consider the electronic cigarette to be a legitimate smoking cessation aid, stating that to its knowledge, "no rigorous, peer-reviewed studies have been conducted showing that the electronic cigarette is a safe and effective nicotine replacement therapy."[6] Studies have shown that when smokers use vaporized nicotine for either supplemental or smoking cessation reasons, the vaporized nicotine produces similarly addictive and psychological effects as cigarettes. [7] However, a report published by the National Institutes of Health found that participants of the studies who used the inhaler alone did not meet ICD-10 or DSM-IV criteria for dependence on the substance (dependence symptoms in subjects who used the inhaler concurrently with real cigarettes are believed to be caused by dependence from the real cigarettes). [8]
On March 27, 2009, Health Canada issued an advisory against electronic cigarettes. The advisory stated "Although these electronic smoking products may be marketed as a safer alternative to conventional tobacco products and, in some cases, as an aid to quitting smoking, electronic smoking products may pose risks such as nicotine poisoning and addiction."[9]
[edit] Legal status by country
Due to the relative novelty of the technology and the possible relationship to tobacco laws, electronic cigarette legislation and public health investigations are currently pending in many countries.
* In Australia, the sale of electronic cigarettes containing nicotine is illegal.[10],[11]
* In Austria electronic cigarettes are considered medical devices, and nicotine cartridges medicinal products. Therefore electronic cigarettes need to be CE-marked, and nicotine cartridges registered as medicinal products, before either can be legally sold.
* In Denmark, electronic cigarettes are legal, however nicotine cartridges are currently under a temporary ban while they undergo review by Danish health authorities.
* In Canada, compliance of electronic cigarette use with public smoking bans is currently under review.[12] In March 2009, Health Canada called for the immediate cessation of imports, sales, and advertising of electronic smoking products containing nicotine, and advised Canadians not to purchase or use any electronic smoking products. Under the Food and Drugs Act, electronic smoking products containing nicotine require market authorization before they can be imported, marketed, or sold. No market authorization has been granted for any electronic smoking product.[9]
* In Finland, cartridges containing nicotine are illegal to sell, or to purchase with intent to sell, but are not illegal to purchase from overseas sources for personal use only.
* In Hong Kong, the possession or the sale of electronic cigarettes is illegal.
* In Malaysia, electronic cigarettes are considered medical devices, and nicotine cartridges medicinal products. They can be purchased over the counter at a pharmacy with proper prescription.
* In The Netherlands, use of electronic cigarettes is allowed, but advertising is forbidden pending European Union legislation.[13]
* In New Zealand, the Ministry of Health has ruled that cartridges containing nicotine fall under the requirements of the Medicines Act, and cannot be sold except as a registered medicine.[1]
* In the United Kingdom, electronic cigarette use is currently unrestricted. [14]
* In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers electronic cigarettes to be a nicotine delivery system, subject to its approval. The agency is currently investigating electronic smoking devices, and has blocked a number of import shipments of electronic cigarette products to the country.[15][16]

Да и просто логически, э-сигареты содержат пропиленгликоль (разрешен во всех странах как пищевая добавка), пищевые ароматизаторы и никотин, или даже без него. Никаких смол и канцерогенов.

Я помню, видимо память хорошая Перестал курить обычные сигареты 3-го июля, так как начал курить е-сигареты. Уже с неделю как спокойно обхожусь и без е-сигарет. Держу картриджи на запасе на тот случай, когда при употреблении спиртных напитков иногда тянет покурить, что свойственно даже некоторым совсем некурящим. Согласен с DAK-ом, запах обычных сигарет сейчас неприятен.Мой один знакомый четко подметил на вопрос-через какое время можно считать что ты бросил курить?
Уже около 40 дней без обычных сигарет, на самом деле потерял счет. Запах сигарет уже чужой и вызывает не приятные чуства
Он сказал считай что ты бросил когда забыл сколько ты уже не куришь
Так что можно тебя поздравить
ЗЫ: жду звонков друзей и коллег
