The start of the e-cig?

[Okio]

I ran across this while surfing the web today
Long-term effects of the Eclipse cigarette substitute and the nicotine inhaler in smokers not interested in quitting

and couldn't help but to wonder if this led in any way to the first e-cig, Maybe started out heating the tobacco before moving on to just the nicotine in pg or vg.

But regardless its still interesting to see that they still use the same reasons to attack e-cigs as they did the eclipse.

· Pregnant women might switch to Eclipse rather than quitting altogether. New research is documenting how
nicotine and its metabolites cross the placenta and are excreted in breastmilk, suggesting that this may
result in the addiction of infants at the very beginning of life, and predispose children to smoking or other
forms of nicotine addiction.

· If allowed to market new alternative nicotine devices, there is good historic reason to believe that the
tobacco industry would do so in a way which recruits children and youth. Such recruitment of a new
generation would needlessly extend the pandemic of tobacco use well into the next millenium.

· Smokers may be discouraged from quitting, since they could switch to a ‘safer’ product.

· Former smokers could be recruited back to nicotine addiction in the belief that they could smoke with
impunity.

· Initiatives to reduce smoking opportunities through bans on smoking in public and work places could be
stalled.

· Smokers could be encouraged to continue smoking in their home, increasing their own tobacco consumption and providing role models for smoking to their children.

· The de-legitimization of tobacco and smoking could be stalled.
