Unhappy Even Engadget website got news on e cig



As it turns out, the World Health Organization (WHO) isn't condoning e-cigarette products -- shockingly -- as some manufacturers might like you to believe. In fact, the lawsuit flag is being waved at a few companies who brazenly plastered the organization's name and logo across promotional material, suggesting an endorsement of the product. The WHO's Douglas Bettcher asserts that the product is untested as a nicotine replacement therapy, stating, "If the marketers of the electronic cigarette want to help smokers quit, then they need to conduct clinical studies and toxicity analyses." So while e-cigs might not carry the same carcinogenic risks as traditional smoking, there are still plenty of health issues surrounding liquid nicotine and all the nasty additives it's served in... and the WHO isn't about to let you forget it.
'Electronic' cigarettes leave WHO fuming

I replied to the person who posted, "When they create cigs that don't smell and don't cause health problems, but have the same relaxing effect as the cancer sticks we have now, get back to me. I'd be all over those."

Maybe someone will learn something.

Leaford, I commend your efforts in trying to inform, but I think after reading the comments, some of them may also need a brain transplant to actually understand the concept

as anybody tried these..

Starter Kits : Intellicig Electronic Cigarette, E CIG - Smoke Healthier

they look like some kind of super mini.. they claim one cart = 5 to 10 cigarette based on the usual puff count of 15 puffs per real cig.. this is a puff count not a nicotine intake count.. this would no doubt be far less..

but interestingly they do say the atomizer is a consumable and give it a life expectancy of 6000 puffs..

this equates with 40 carts at 150 puffs per cart.. or giving each cart .4 ml contents of liquid.. 16 ml of liquid per atomizer..

which would be less than a week in my case.. its odd how the cheapy dudes can come up with figures like these but none of the big higher cost brand names dare..

over to u leaford.. he he he

What does that have to do with the topic of the thread?

yes i noticed fully assembles and checked in england bit ned..

and the £12.99 which is what caught my eye in the first place..

and ..err.. leaford.. they actually do state how long one of their atomizers should last.. something others dare not do.. they do try and make it sound longer than a week but the figures are there to be understood or misunderstood depending on the readers brain power..

they answer the question i have tried very very hard to get answered.. "how many puffs per atomizer"..
