Abstract

Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) purport to deliver nicotine to the lungs of smokers. Five brands of ENDS were evaluated for design features, accuracy and clarity of labelling and quality of instruction manuals and associated print material supplied with products or on manufacturers websites.Methods ENDS were purchased from online vendors and analysed for various parameters.Results While the basic design of ENDS was similar across brands, specific design features varied significantly. Fluid contained in cartridge reservoirs readily leaked out of most brands, and it was difficult to assemble or disassemble ENDS without touching nicotine-containing fluid. Two brands had designs that helped lessen this problem. Labelling of cartridges was very poor; labelling of some cartridge wrappers was better than labelling of cartridges. In general, packs of replacement cartridges were better labelled than the wrappers or cartridges, but most packs lacked cartridge content and warning information, and sometimes packs had confusing information. Used cartridges contained fluid, and disposal of nicotine-containing cartridges was not adequately addressed on websites or in manuals. Orders were sometimes filled incorrectly, and safety features did not always function properly. Print and internet material often contained information or made claims for which there is currently no scientific support.Conclusions Design flaws, lack of adequate labelling and concerns about quality control and health issues indicate that regulators should consider removing ENDS from the market until their safety can be adequately evaluated.

E-cigs: No smoke, but some areas are banning them

That’s not smoke coming out of Cliff Phillips’ mouth.

But that hasn’t stopped others from cringing, making remarks, waving their hands in their faces and coughing at the sight of the vapor from his electronic cigarette.

“They’re just conditioned if they see you inhale and exhale something, it’s got to be smoke and it’s going to stink. … They’re not even smelling anything,” said Phillips, a 61-year-old retiree and former cigarette smoker.

Electronic cigarettes don’t burn and don’t give off smoke. But they’re at the center of a social and legal debate over whether it’s OK to “light up” in places where regular smokes are banned. Despite big differences between cigarettes and their electronic cousins, several states, workplaces and localities across the U.S. have explicitly included e-cigs in smoking bans.

via E-cigs: No smoke, but some areas are banning them – Environment News – AARP Bulletin.

E-cigs are not really cigs. They contain NO tobacco and they do NOT ‘SMOKE’. What you see is water vapor. Think of it like a home humidifier. You know how those make vapor which is visible. This is similar. The vapor produced and ex-haled by the user is just water vapor, and is safe to the user and to other people around the user. There is no smoke, no cabon monoxide, and NO carcinogens! They are legal to smoke indoors anywhere(provided the site owner allows). They do not go against any ‘no smoking’ laws as there is no tobacco and no flame. A wonderful, and safe, alternative to normal cigarettes. I do not recommend non-smokers try e-cigs. They are meant for smokers who want to use a safer alternative to get their nicotine!
