Ms Gacutan-Galang and some of these posters should do their homework before condeming a
device that has the potential to save millions of lives. First, how could any health care professional state that a vapor containing harmless glycerine and a small amount of nicotine be "more harmful" than the 4000+ carcinogens in a cigarette?
And, no dear poster, nicotine does not cause cancer. Quote: The currently available literature indicates that nicotine, on its own, does not promote the development of cancer in healthy tissue and has no mutagenic properties. Even the FDA doesn't have an issue with the nicotine in e-cigs.
And, yes, every manufacture knows the exact concentration of nicotine/mg of their products and I would not purchase a product that did not have this labeled properly.
Do you homework, folks. This is the best invention for the health of mankind in the past 50 years!
