Controversies around Electronic cigarettes
Electronic cigarette is an excellent substitute for traditional cigarettes but not equally good says the smoking community. Since there were oppositions against Government insisting usage of e-cigarettes, anti-smokers are sorting out issues claiming federal regulations. E-cigarettes are stuffed with nicotine cartridges that are powered by batteries. When an electronic cigarette is lighted, the inbuilt atomizer converts the nicotine filled in the cartridges to vapor. Then the vapor is inhaled into the lungs but the exhaled vapor does not emit any flavor of nicotine. E-cigarettes generally look like normal cigarettes and are designed with LED light that glows when the vapor is inhaled. The supporters of e-cigarette say that the product is harmless and do not contain carcinogens. During 2010, FDA had taken action against few companies that produced e-cigarettes with poor quality. However, there is a general opinion that e-cigarettes do not contribute in controlling the nicotine addiction in anyway.
