Hawaii Electronic Cigarette Ruling

Hawaii Should Consider the Consequences….Opinion by ECigaretteReviews.com

Smoking cigarettes is harmful to your health. In the United States, we hear about that from everywhere, including on the packs of cigarettes themselves. All around the world there are laws that restrict tobacco use and warn of its dangers. In Europe, they don’t mess around, tobacco products have warning in big text that say “Smoking Kills”. So in general, any alternative that can help people to stop smoking is a good thing.

In Hawaii, the legislature is considering making a big mistake in this regard. While nicotine patches, lozenges, and gums are advertised as ways to stop inhaling smoke, nicotine delivery systems that mimic cigarettes are given the opposite treatment. Electronic cigarettes offer the same nicotine fix without smoke and tar that nicotine gum provides, with a different delivery system. And yet, the Hawaiian legislature is considering redefining tobacco to include e-cigarettes.

How is this possible? Clearly there is some sort of misunderstanding. Or else the Hawaiian legislature is really just trying to get a lot of tax dollars out of smokers of ecigarettes. The two bills, House Bill 2557 (HB2557) and Senate Bill 2819 (SB2819) are said to protections. If ecigs are in the same category as tobacco products, minors will not be allowed to purchase them. That is all well and good, but the other side of the coin represents huge taxes. Tobacco products in Hawaii have a whopping 70% state luxury tax added to them.

By classifying non-tobacco cigarettes as tobacco, the State of Hawaii will increase revenue from taxes. Sadly, they will also discourage suppliers, supporters, and users of electronic cigarettes. Every accessory, including batteries and atomizers, would be considered tobacco and would incur the tobacco tax. For electronic cigarette companies, this could be a really big deal, and those businesses may decide to go elsewhere rather than risk investing in a market that is being discouraged from buying their products.

If the Hawaii State legislature wants to protect minors in the State, they should introduce bills that require that nicotine products not be sold to minors. Alternatively, they could simply lump ecigs with other nicotine products. But to redefine the word tobacco to include electronics makes no sense and will have unintended negative consequences.

Smokers who switch to ecigarettes experience positive health effects within a couple of weeks. There is no tar or other dangerous carcinogens in an electronic cigarette. And, perhaps most relevantly, ecigarettes contain no tobacco. The arguments against the law are numerous, and many in Hawaii hope to see it tabled indefinitely. Especially those who have switched to eCigarettes and do not want to see a huge jump in price in the coming years.

If you’ve just congratulated yourself on switching from tobacco cigarettes to ecigs, and then you find out prices will rise considerably, things look a little less sunny. Of course, the health benefits are still there, as is the fact that you will no longer smell like an ashtray. But what message is the Hawaii legislature trying to send?

E-Liquid & E-Juice

E-Liquid in electronic cigarettes – what exactly is E-Liquid and how is it made?

E-liquid is a common term you’ll hear in the electronic cigarette world.  This page will talk about e-liquid and it’s use in electronic cigarettes.

You may have read our Halo Cigs Review and noticed that you have to fill their e cigarettes with e-liquid juice.  They sell the e-juice in glass bottles with precision droppers allowing you to insert your e-juice in to the empty cartridges.

That’s about the best example we have at present time about how e-liquid works and what it’s used for.  You’ll notice that V2 Cigs also has refillable cartridges and drip tips you can use if you desire to fill up  your cartridges with juice instead of buying cartridges and just screwing them in.

In short, the e-liquid is the actual juice that is contained in the plastic cartridges commonly called “cartomizers.”  These are the replaceable plastic tips that are replaced in the cartridge strength and flavor of the smoker’s desire.  One end screws into the electronic cigarette while the other is used to puff on the device by the user’s mouth.  You may also hear e-liquid/e-juice referred to as “nicotine solution.”

E-LiquidHow e-liquid is made depends on which brand you are using.  There are many different formulas out there one can buy and create, but for the most part you’ll find that most e-cigarette liquid is either a propylene glycol or glycerin base.  If you are using a nicotine cartridge of any strength, of course, there is a nicotine solution which acts to fulfill the need for nicotine to those who desire that affect.

As we touched on earlier, there are 100′s of flavors out there, starting from the classic tobacco blend types that people make to emulate a traditional tobacco cigarette taste, to the fruitful flavors like strawberry, watermelon, and grape.  There are even off-the-wall flavors like “energy,” “beer,” and “pina colada.”  There will always be companies out there trying to emulate the latest tastes and keep palates satisfied with off-beat stuff, so it’ll be interesting to see what comes out next.  Jagermeister, anyone?

We commonly make references to “strengths” of e-liquids.  This refers to the content & amount of nicotine solution in each cartridge.  For example, a “0″ strength is nicotine free. 

  • A “light” e-cigarette strength is up to about 10 mg
  • A “mid range” equates to 10 – 14 mg
  • A “high” strength will be up to about 18 mg
  • Finally, for the fans of unfiltered cigarettes, there are what we call “extra high” strengths that go from 24 – even 36  mg

Some types of e-liquid bases you’ll hear about often are below.

PG = Propylene Glycol

VG = Vegetable Glycerin

PEG 400 =Polyethylene Glycol 400

All of these e-liquid bases are common food additives and ruled safe by the FDA.  Source:  Wikipedia.

Other notes about e-liquid & e-juice…..

The two most common manufacturers are China and the USA

V2 Cigs Disposable Electronic Cigarettes Now Available on V2Cigs.com

V2 Cigs disposable electronic cigarettes made headlines last year when they were advertised in the USA on national television.   For those who noticed the television advertisements, you probably noticed that the product V2 Cigs was promoting was NOT the standard electronic cigarette battery and cartridge contraption, but rather it was the V2 Cigs “disposable e cigarettes.”  Today’s update will talk about what the difference is between a disposable e cigarette and a standard e cigarette – the latter being the type we talk about every day on this website.

The disposable electronic cigarette is perfect for people who haven’t yet tried electronic cigarette products.  This allows consumers to try an e cigarette with a lower price point.   You don’t have to worry about re-charging the disposable e cigarette, because it’s designed to be a single use product.  When the vapor production starts to wane, you simply throw the product in the trash.

Your mileage may vary, but each disposable electronic cigarette is about two packs of traditional cigarettes and will last 350 – 450 puffs.  See the banner below for product photos – they are very appealing to the eye and done professional like all V2 Cigs products.

For anyone using the traditional V2 Cigs batteries and cartomizers, it’s important to know that the e-liquid flavors are modified and slightly different in the disposable line.

Disposable electronic cigarette smoking will certainly allow many consumers who were initially on the fence about e-smoking get in with a cheaper price point.  They also make an affordable gift for that special someone that hasn’t taken the leap of faith into electronic smoking.  These products are also going to be having a strong retail presence in the future, so don’t be shocked if you start seeing them at your favorite convenience stores sometime soon.

As of time of publication, the prices for the V2 Cigs disposable electronic cigarettes are as follows:

  • 3 pack sells for $24.95
  • 5 pack sells for $39.95
  • 10 pack sells for $79.95
  • 20 pack for $139.95

Of course, like all V2 Cigs products, you are able to customize the order to your liking.  Visit their Official website for more information.

V2 Disposable Electronic Cigarettes - NEW FOR 2012!

 

History of The Electronic Cigarette

Electronic cigarettes, or eCigarettes, were a natural evolution for the cigarette market. Cigarette smoking is so pervasive, even now that we know how damaging they can be to your health. Smoking cigarettes is easily one of the most common addictions of modern humans, and for a good reason: nicotine. The unfortunate side effects of smoking, including terrible breath, stained teeth, smelly clothing, and of course damage to your lungs and throat, do not do much to deter people from taking up smoking cigarettes. eCigarettes allow people to still get their nicotine fix, but they can also avoid those nasty side effects.

The Idea

The first person to take out a patent on what would become electronic cigarettes was Herbert A. Gilbert. He described a smokeless cigarette which would use moist, heated air rather than tobacco and paper. Unfortunately for him, his patent was acquired in 1963 and the technology to create a compact and effective eCigarette was not around. Additionally, most people were unaware of the significant health effect of normal cigarettes and it is unlikely people would have been interested in an alternative.

The vision that Gilbert had was not realized until 2003, when a Chinese pharmacist by the name of Hon Lik invented the first usable electronic cigarette. His company started to export the product in 2005 and finally acquired an international patent in 2007. The modern eCigarette is designed to be smokeless, with fewer poor health effects, and can be used to help quit smoking, however there have not been significant studies to show that there are health benefits or that they are an effective smoking cessation tool.

eCigarettes are a relatively new invention and as such they are not as pervasive in the cigarette market as some would hope. The idea of a cigarette that is less dangerous appeals to many people, especially those who live with or are related to people who smoke. But of course, it is not only the health dangers that discourage people from smoking tobacco cigarettes, pipes, and cigars. Smoking tobacco smells awful and for many people the alternative that eCigarettes offer is highly preferred.

eCigarettes allow you to inhale water vapor rather than smoke. The vapor can be infused with nicotine or not, depending on the preference of the smoker. If you want to try smoking without the nicotine, to see if you can quit, eCigs offer an interesting alternative to going completely cold turkey. You can also purchase electronic cigarettes with various levels of nicotine, allowing smokers to slowly reduce the amount of nicotine they smoke, or simply to set the level that they prefer.

Evolution and Marketing

The initial idea of the smokeless cigarette was one that looked like a cigarette in every way, a white tube-like cartridge and a light brown filter, down to the glowing red end and the way the vapor curls upwards similar to smoke. You can even exhale the vapor and it looks like you are smoking. But as cigarettes becomes less and less of a style symbol, eCigs are also changing their image.

You can now buy electronic cigarettes that are stylized and personalized, with colors and patterns that fit all kinds of preferences. There are even eCigarettes that are all black or all white, giving a sleek and subtle appearance, and electronic pipes and cigars that give an entirely different aesthetic look. The varieties of styles and the flexibility of the image that smokers want to achieve encourage all kinds of smokers to make the switch from tobacco to electronically delivered nicotine infused vapor.  Blu Cigs has led the charge in creating stylish products and arguably have the best marketing team in the industry.  One look at Blu Cigs brand and you’ll notice it’s hard to forget.

There are also a variety of flavors available on the market today. If you prefer to try an eCigarette that tastes like tobacco, you can have a very similar experience to smoking tobacco cigarettes. You can also choose menthol, if you are used to smoking menthol cigarettes. But if you really want to try something new, some companies offer flavors similar to hookah pipe tobacco flavors, such as watermelon, grape, and cherry, among others.

Some electronic cigarette brands will even tout the safety of electronic cigarettes.  While health claims have yet to be substantiated, the obvious factor that comes to our minds is the fact that there is no flame or lighter to mess around with.  Those can lead to problems if they fall into the wrong person’s hands.

A Growing Market

Today there are a considerable number of eCig sellers in the market, hoping to cash in on a new idea that shows a lot of promise, both for the health and well-being of smokers and for the aesthetic benefits of smoking vapor rather than smoke. Many smokers, and their friends and families, do not like the smell of tobacco smoke, especially modern cigarettes that contain a lot of additives. eCigarettes leave no smell in your clothing or your hair and can be smoked indoors without leaving a stale ashtray smell. Tobacco cigarette smoke will stain the paint on your walls and imbed itself in the upholstery of your car. eCigs will do neither, offer relief from those inconvenient and often unattractive side effects of being a cigarette smoker.

Electronic cigarettes can be bought in mall kiosks, but most of the sales happen via the internet. Online retailers are all hoping to appeal to smokers in different ways. Some emphasize the health benefit of switching to electronic cigarettes. Others emphasize the lack of smokey, ashtray smells in your life. And still others remind people that smoking eCigarettes is considerably cheaper than smoking tobacco. Even disposable eCigarettes can last as long as three packs of tobacco cigarettes, depending on the smoker. The price difference is often obvious, and when added to the health benefits eCigarettes are even cheaper. The cost of higher medical bills due to illness from cigarette smoking can be astronomical.

While the coolness factor has not really caught on with electronic cigarettes, more and more people are at least willing to try them. The dangers of smoking cigarettes are many, and the effort it takes to quit smoking can be overwhelming. As people becoming busier and more stressed out, they have less energy to devote to their health and well being. As a result, cigarette smoking is still very popular, despite the health risks. Electronic cigarettes offer smokers an alternative to the tobacco vs. quit dilemma, allowing them to continue to quench cravings with nicotine, while avoiding the tar build up that cigarette smoking inevitably leads to. eCigarettes took a long time to go from idea to reality, but now that they are here it seems the options are endless.

Two electronic cigarette starter kits are available: The Deluxe and The Premium. In this update, we’ll do a review of each kit and delve into what exactly they offer.  They vary in accessories, as well as design. Starting at $29.99, the Premium Starter Kit is a basic model, comprised of 3 pieces, including the most advanced battery, atomizer, and cartridge that are available on the market. With the Premium, you are given the choice of different flavors, as well as strength levels. 15-pack cartridges, available with flavor options such as vanilla, chocolate, cherry, menthol, and classic tobacco, come with the Premium Kit. The different strengths can suit the needs of light, social smokers, as well as those of heavy smokers. For what you are getting, the price is extremely reasonable and is an excellent starter kit for anyone looking to embark on smoking e-cigarettes.

South Beach Smoke Review #1:  The Premium Starter Kit Includes:

1 Atomizer (the mechanism which creates the vapor)

1 Lithium Ion Battery

1 Portable Wall Charger

1 Convenient User’s Manual

6 Large Nicotine Cartridges in the Following Flavors: Tobacco, Vanilla, Menthol, Cherry, and Chocolate

A step above the basic kit is the Deluxe Starter Kit, and if you are going to use South Beach Smoke, this is the obvious value.

Starting at just $49.99 this package is South Beach Smoke’s most sought after seller. For the discriminating electronic cigarette connoisseurs, this package is the preferred starter kit. As far as technology goes, it is the most state-of-the-art e-cigarette model you will find. It features a 2-piece design, and utilizes the most advanced battery and disposable cartridges. In this model, the atomizer and cartridge are combined, eliminating one whole piece. The atomizer flash-vaporizes the liquid nicotine. When activated by your puffing, the solution heats automatically and thus creating the smoke-like vapor that gives the impression of traditional cigarettes.

The most technologically advanced part of the Deluxe Kit system actually lies in the battery. It is powerful enough to be charged longer than 24-hour intervals for constant users, and has even been known to last up to two weeks for those who use their e-cigarette sparingly. The Deluxe Starter Kit comes with two different batteries; 1 short, and 1 long. The short is meant to last longer than a single day’s smoking, and the long can last far longer. Because of the batteries’ proven durability, the Deluxe Starter Kit has received an industry rating of #1, among both customers and experts.

South Beach Smoke Review #2:  The Deluxe Starter Kit:  (The most popular South Beach Smoke Kit)

1 Lithium Ion Long Battery

1 Lithium Ion Short Battery

1 Portable Wall Charger

1 Convenient User’s Manual

5 Large Nicotine Cartridges in These Flavors: Tobacco, Menthol, Cherry, Vanilla, and Chocolate

South Beach Smoke review UPDATE:  This kit now includes a SuperMAXTM Battery. 

South Beach Smoke review UPDATE #2:  You also get a $100 gas card with this kit.

For both starter kits, there are several different accessories that have been designed to fit perfectly into your busy life. To make things more convenient, there are a few different adapters for charging your battery, including wall chargers, car adapters, and USB chargers. Using your computer, or any device that has a USB outlet, you can charge your batteries with the USB charger. Extra batteries are also a good idea to purchase ahead of time, so you are prepared if you need backup, or if you just need to keep extras elsewhere, such as work, or in the car. The Universal Carrying Case is another accessory that is highly popular among customers. This stylish, sleek little case makes holding all of your e-cigarette essentials in one small, compact place. It fits perfectly into your purse of pocket.

Bull Smoke Review

Bull Smoke ReviewBull Smoke review.  Bull Smoke  appeals to people who smoke tobacco cigarettes that want something that looks, feels, and is marketed like a standard tobacco cigarette.  A vapor cigarette alternative, this electronic cigarette brand is growing rapidly and is quickly becoming popular with consumers on other e cigarette review sites, so in keeping up with the growing industry, we felt a Bull Smoke Review was in order.

The Bull Smoke brand is iconic in the fact that it has a unique Brahma Bull logo that you’ll never forget.  They offer two electronic cigarette starter kits, called “Ranch Hand,” and “City Slicker.”  These two electronic cigarette starter kits are packaged with different accessories and more importantly, varied flavor cartridges, which ensure that each kit offers something different to new e cigarette smokers.

Each Bull Smoke starter kit offers two batteries, a user manual, 10 cartridges, and an A/C Wall charger as well as the USB charger.  The kits are packaged neatly in a box that presents each battery in a felt display.  While it’s on the larger side as far as starter kit packages are considered, it’s also done very well – this isn’t something we’d hesitate to give as a gift to that person who has been aching to try e cigarette smoking but hasn’t made the investment yet.

The Ranch Hand  starter kit is for someone looking for various tobacco cigarette flavors.  It comes with three types of tobacco cartridges (without tobacco, of course, just a taste that is similar to tobacco) called “Old West,” “Rangers,” and “Texas Tobacco.”

  • 5 total cartridges of  Old West:  A “Virginia” taste.
    - (24mg, 16mg, 12mg, 6mg, 0mg)
  • 3 total cartridges of Texas Tobacco:  this is said to be a full-bodied flavor blend.
    - (24mg, 16mg, 12mg)
  • 2 total cartridges of Ranger this is comparable to a “red”
    - (24mg, 16mg)

If you read the full Bull Smoke review you’ll see that they offer a wide variety of different strengths and flavor, so you can find the best e cig cartridge for your liking and continue to re-order those are your discretion – without having to make a huge investment on the initial purchase.  Also, for a limited time, you get a free pack of five Bull Smoke cartridges with all orders, so you can also take this time to sample yet another flavor or strength of your liking.

Bull Smoke City SlickerThe Bull Smoke City Slicker  features the three tobacco blends as well as 7 other flavors, including the popular menthol.  Grape, vanilla, apple, cherry, chocolate, and coffee are all sold with this kit.  This is more for the social smoker, or for someone who wants to sample all ten e cigarette flavors.  As with the Ranch Hand, you still get a bonus of five cartridges for a limited time.

Both Bull Smoke starter kits sell for $59, but you can save $10 by using the Bull Smoke coupon code: “NoBull.”  Enter that at checkout and you’ll unlock the savings.

Bull Smoke Review:  A Closer Look at the Pro’s & Con’s

1.  Bull Smoke offers a rewards program.  10% of all purchases accrue towards use on future buys at BullSmoke.com.  Imagine how much money you would have saved on traditional tobacco cigarettes if you earned 10% back from all purchases?  This certainly helps bring the cost down.

2.  Referral program.  We’re not entirely sure how it works, but we’ve read that if you refer friends you earn points from their purchases.  This is obviously HUGE if you get people to make the switch to e cigarettes.

3.  The Bull Smoke batteries last a long time.  Most batteries give out too soon and constantly need a charge. While the Safe Cig Micro is a nice e cigarette, the battery life is very weak.  There is no battery life problem with Bull Smoke.

4.  Bull Smoke offers 24 mg cartridges.  Not many e cig companies offer this, and they seem to have a place in the industry, so people who smoke unfiltered cigarettes have a comparable electronic cigarette option.

5.  Customer service.  Sure, we say this about several brands.  But, in an industry where 99% of the purchases are made online, it’s imp0rtant that there is some substance in the follow-up.  Emails were answered, live chat operators were helpful, and delivery was prompt.  We’ve tried many brands that don’t care about customer service, and for that reason, we don’t suggest people buy those e cigarette brands.  Bull Smoke impressed us with A+ customer service.

Bull Smoke is a brand that we highly recommend.  The e cigarette reviews are in, and they are positive.  For this reason, we’ve decided to feature Bull Smoke as we feel it’s one of the best electronic cigarettes on the market today.

Halo Cigs Review

Halo Cigs ReviewHalo Cigs Review.

A special post today will talk about a side of electronic cigarettes that most people don’t know about.  What we’re talking about is “e-liquid” and “e-juice.” Halos Cigs offers both of these options, and we invite you to read about it in our first Halo Cigs Review.

A unique electronic cigarette brand has popped up that has been garnering solid e-liquid, e-juice, reviews is Halo Cigs. Halo Cigs is a brand that goes into intense detail about their e-juice, and they have a product that is packaged entirely different from the the rest of the e cigarette industry. So, if you find yourself as one of the people that like to use e-juice, you may want to check out Halo Cigs.

Here is quick overview of what Halo Cigs has to offer.

As far as e-juice goes, they offer the following flavors.

Tribeca, Torque 56, Midnight Apple, Prime 15, Malibu Menthol, Cool Mist Menthol, Menthol Ice, Captain Jack, Tiki Juice, Bella Valente, Fusion, and Smooth 8.

More about the Halo Cigs ingredients….

Halo Cigs uses USP Grade Propylene Glycol (PG) and USP Grade Glycerin (VG) in conjunction with a proprietary blend of USP Grade Natural and Artificial flavorings. All ingredients in Halo Cigs e-liquid are FDA and FEMA approved food additives, and Halo Cigs uses only the highest quality USP Grade Nicotine, complete with an individual “Certificate of Analysis.”  We haven’t read of any other electronic cigarette brand talk about this in the “e-juice” sector.  The Halo Cigs nicotine is tested and documented to be a minimum of 98%-99% pure before it’s turned int0 “e-liquid” in their facility, which is based in the USA.

(The nicotine base is made by laboratory trained chemists, also residing in the USA.)

Bottles start at $5.99 for a 7 ML bottle and go up to $14 for a 30 ML glass bottle. It’s not stated just how many cigarettes this will equate to, but it largely depends on how much juice you fill your cartridge with.

Halo E Cigarettes also sell accessories such as tweezers and empty bottles for your e-juice.  It’s worth noting that all of the Halo Cigs e-juice is made in the USA.  All of the e-liquid comes with born-on dates and a tracking number, so you will know that what you are ordering is fresh.  We haven’t seen another e-liquid brand offer this so far, so this is impressive.

Electronic Cigarettes Safety

Many people are looking for electronic cigarettes as a way to be “safer.”  But are electronic cigarettes a safer alternative?

Without getting into health claims, there are many reasons why an electronic cigarette can be called an alternative to tobacco products that many would agree is safer.

Here are the top five reasons electronic cigarettes are a safer alternative to tobacco products.

1.  Electronic cigs do not require any flame.

While this is obvious, let’s state just why this promotes safety.  For starters, when you don’t have a lighter or book of matches around, the risk of a fire hazard is reduced.  Many house and car fires are the product of combustion from flames.  Often times, a lighter or a book of matches is the culprit.  Let’s also remind ourselves how children can get into these items, and the mayhem it could cause.  When children have access to a lighter, many bad things can happen.  Fires could start, things could burn, and of course, even worse – they could catch their clothing on fire causing burns. There is always a curiosity with children and fire – so it’s best to eliminate that curiosity and not have anything that could become flammable with an easy push of a button around the house or family.

2.  No ash means less waste and problems.

This may sound off the wall, but ash can create problems as well.  Did you ever hear of someone ashing in a soda can only to have someone who was unsuspecting drink the soda?  It’s happened on multiple occasions and made quite a few people sick!  Sure, it’s a far fetched reason to smoke electronically, but why not?  Do you really want waste around the house?  Do you really want to have the possibility that someone could get into it and create a mess?  With electronic cigarette smoking, you don’t have to worry about that.

3.  Personal risk of burn by use.

Not to be captain obvious, but if there is no fire involved, how could you burn yourself while smoking electronic cigarettes?  I’ve personally dropped an electronic cigarette on my lap, on my suit, and everywhere else.  Nothing bad happens!  You can press an electronic cigarette against anyone’s skin and nothing happens!  The electronic devices are nothing more than a vapor solution that is used to create smoke, and the heating element does nothing that can be of any damaging nature.  Can’t say the same thing for tobacco cigarettes as I’ve dropped those and ruined many garments along the way!

4.  When you put it down – it’s done.

Try putting down a lit tobacco product and see what happens.  Can you drop it on the ground on a fall day, in a pile of leaves, and know 100% that a fire won’t start?  We all know the answer to that question.  However, when you are through smoking an electronic cigarette, nothing happens.  You can put it down anywhere and not have to worry about anything blazing on fire.  It’s simply a worry-free way of “safe” smoking.  (No health claim there, just safe in the fact that it won’t cause a fire hazard.)

5.  Environmental safety.

For every0ne who cares about the environment – and we do – the natural selection is electronic cigarettes.  They aren’t thrown away at the rate that tobacco cigarettes are.  They don’t clog up ash trays in hotel elevator areas nor do they stink up an entire party.  They are simply, by design, a less littering smoking alternative.  Have a party with 50 smokers and smell your house after.  Clean up the garbage, and look for remains.  Then, repeat this feat with electronic cigarette smokers.  You’ll find a big difference.

The reasons are clear as day – electronic cigarettes can provide a safe environment when compared to their tobacco counterparts.  Feel free to forward this on to anyone you know who is interested in knowing more about the safety of electronic cigarettes.
