Are E Cigarettes Safe Or Bad Like Tobacco?
If e cigarette smokers follow normal tobacco etiqutte what would happen?
Im not sure if this is really a moot point or not, but the fact of the matter is that there is no tobacco in e cigarettes and should obvioulsy not be classed as a tobacco product. It angers me to hear these ridiculous claims made by governements and “experts”, do these experts all smoke? are they trying to kick the habit? All these questions need to be answered if there is going to be a non biased ruling, especially where there are millions if not billions of tax dollars to be made from the regulation of these devices – you have to ask the question, what is this all really about.
Isnt it about saving lives and leading healthier lives? So whats wrong with the e cigarette?

E cigarettes consist of three basic parts, sometimes having the appearance of only two parts because two functions are combined into one.

Quit Cigarettes With E Cigarettes.
Basically, e cigarettes operate with a battery which provides power for a tiny vaporizing unit called an atomizer, which heats up liquid containing nicotine and flavoring in a base agent. The liquid is stored in a cartridge, also called a cartomizer when it is built into the atomizer. The word “cartomizer” is a combination of “cartridge” and “atomizer,” which makes it easy to remember. So, e cigarettes are referred to as 3-piece or 2-piece, but all e cigarettes contain the three functional parts just described. E cigarettes work when the

The Food and Drug Administration has issued new warning label requirements for tobacco cigarette packaging, according to veteran newscaster John Stossel.

Apparently the requirements will require scary color photos of diseased body parts and actual dead bodies. Although the FDA has the power to regulate electronic cigarettes as well, no such warning labels have been issued for packaging and print advertising for electronic cigarettes. And the FDA should certainly not be issuing any drastic warnings, because there’s no proof whatsoever that electronic cigarettes contain any of the over 4,000 toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke. In reality, there’s no comparison between tobacco cigarettes and electronic cigarettes. They just look similar.
In an article online, Stossel shared
Who Really Invented The Electronic Cigarette?

Stop Smoking With The Electronic Cigarette.
Who really invented it? That’s a great question that can truthfully be answered, “Herbert A. Gilbert, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.” It’s totally surprising, but it’s true. An American engineer actually filed a patent for his “Smokeless Non-Tobacco Cigarette” in 1963, and the corresponding US Patent Number 3200819 was issued for it in 1965. So, what ever happened to Mr. Gilbert’s electronic cigarette? Reviewing the patent abstract and diagram, it’s clear to see that the time had not yet come for an electronic cigarette to capture enough popularity to succeed. Remember, in 1963 the dangers of tobacco smoke were not a concern to the general population of smokers. Deep research had not been conducted and governmental health agencies had

A look back at history shows that Chinese chemists invented gunpowder a long, long time ago, reportedly in the 9th century, so what about e cigarettes?
As it turns out, Chinese engineers, much more recently, invented the first e cigarettes as well. The first patent for e cigarettes was issued in 2003, so a smokeless alternative to tobacco cigarettes has only been on the market for a few years now. In the beginning, e cigarettes were marketed as a device to stop smoking, but that claim was halted in 2008 when the World Health Organization announced that e cigarettes were not an authorized “smoking cessation device.” That phrase is a legal term and cannot be used without legal authority. So, manufacturers and users of e cigarettes must not make a claim that is, in point of fact, the truth. Vapers who have completely stopped smoking tobacco cigarettes make their opinions known

Taking Action On E Cigarettes.
For the e-cigarette community, the prohibited use of the e-cigarette on commercial airline flights, including non-American airlines, is growing worldwide, especially given the announcement by the FAA that in the spring 2012, e-cigarette use on airlines under its authority will be prohibited. Even if the e-cigarette community could provide with no exceptions that the vapor produced by the c-cigarette contained nothing other than that which was originally in the atmosphere of a plane before the e-cigarette
