The problem with e-cigarettes, Deese said, is they supply the body with nicotine, which is highly addictive.

“You’re not curing your addiction, but you’re reducing it a little bit,” he said.

Lauren Robinson, manager of Hideout tobacco shop in Longview, believes e-cigarettes are beneficial to smokers’ health and are just as or more satisfying than traditional cigarettes.

E-cigarette smokers get a higher concentration of nicotine because there are no additives, she said.
