    they sell such a dangerous product because people are foolish enough to buy one. and they sell them because they wanna make profit, regardless of how many people die :/

    and there arent any 'poisons' exactly...there is nicotine, tar, tobacco and stuff like that which can be harmful if consumed for a long period of time...

    well there are about 4000 chemicals in cigarettes-

    ... good news...

    Electronic cigarettes may be a good substitute for smokers who enjoy their habit and don’t want to give up their addiction to nicotine. An e-cigarette delivers nicotine vapor without the tar or other carcinogens that pollute our air and lungs. Nothing burns, only a drop of nicotine is mixed with steam to mimic the feeling of smoke being inhaled into the lungs. There is no lingering odor, no smoke, no ash. This seems to be a clean alternative to what most non-smokers find to be a filthy and dangerous habit, and even smokers aren’t completely happy about the side-effects of tobacco.

    I wonder why people are so concerned about cigarettes when alcohol is the most abused drug in the world. Buying a pack of cig. does not ruin families lives. Alcohol---- people loose their jobs,homes, families,belongings,self respect!! There is nothing worse than having to live with an alcoholic------Wondering if they are coming home,what kind of mood,did they spend the pay check? YEAH CIG. are so bad.
