Electronic Cigarettes: Not A Proven Claim
The electronic cigarette was designed to reduce the intake of nicotine. The World Health Organization (WHO) has released an official notice saying these cigarettes, which are made in China, have no significant proof to assist smokers to stop. It was another hyped up marketing ploy and should be removed immediately from their websites.
Smoking Kills
The cigarette is made of stainless steel with a chamber that stores liquid nicotine in various strengths. It has a rechargeable battery and resembles a real lit cigarette. It does not produce a smoke, but a fine mist which is inhaled.
In 2004, the product was developed in China and is distributed to many countries, including Brazil, Canada, Finland, Israel, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Proper case studies from the manufacturer were not conducted to prove the claim to this electronic cigarette as a replacement for a nicotine patch or gum.
“If the marketers of the electronic cigarette want to help smokers quit, then they need to conduct clinical studies and toxicity analyses and operate within the proper regulatory framework,” said Douglas Bettcher, Director a.i. of WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative. “Until they do that, WHO cannot consider the electronic cigarette to be an appropriate nicotine replacement therapy, and it certainly cannot accept false suggestions that it has approved and endorsed the product. ”
A WHO study group is scheduled to address this topic along with others in Durban, South Africa on 12-14 November 2008.
Hello Everyone!
My name is David
and untill a few days ago I used to smoke 2 packs a day.
I have tried, like many others, to quit for years.
I have tried everything in the market, gums, paches, even chantix.
However I must say that nothing comes close to the eCigarette.
It is so easy to quit with it. The whole point is you just keep smoking!
The eCigarette dosen’t contiain any tabbacoo or tar,
which means it is a lot less harmful then an old fastion cigarette.
On top of everything, since the eCigarette is non flameable and contains no tabbaco
there is no laws that phorhibed its use anywhere.
You can smoke it whereever you want, at the mall, the airport, your office, at home, anywhere at all!

I too was a 2 pk a day smoker and as of today I have been tobacco free for one week. This is due to the e-cig which I purchased and I have not smoked a real cig since I received it. I have tried every trick in the book in the past but this is the only thing that has worked for me.
This was a very well conceived article. Currently Electronic Cigarettesare not registered as a smoking cessation device. There are some of us however that are not wanting to quit using Nicotine, but instead opt for a healthier option. Burning tobacco contains more than 4000 chemicals including more than 40 cancer causing agents and 200 known poisons. I am very thankful that Electronic Cigarettes were invented. I currently use a Gamucci Classic e-cig. Would love to hear what type others have used.
