i haven t had a drag of a cigarette since about 2 1/2 years ago. liquid nicotine is heated up by a battery charged coil. there s no tobacco burned. users inhale and instead of smoke, there s a steam like vapor. so are e cigarettes safe and perhaps the greatest innovation yet to the quit smoking or an addictive be health hazard? with a product like e cigarettes you re guilty till proven innocent. we need to know these things are i ve and okay to use. they ve been in the u.s. less than a decade and increasingly big tobacco companies are manufacturing them. limited research has been done on the health impact and there are conflicting stories whether or not nicotine alone is harmful. i would like the science to catch up with what we re doing here. but you re still will to do it. i am because i think the alternative to just smoking all day i think this is a better alternative. woo p what we gain is far greater than what we have the potential to lose. amey fairchild of colu
