How bad are e cigarettes?

Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.

Really bad they can kill you

bad as......so many bad things from them.quit!! ..its easy if you want to quit

i quit in 2006..

i used patches for day time use ..not for sleeping..

i chewed that nicorette gum as well for about a week..chemist said it was ok to use both ..

but then i thought it will be real expensive ..the patches and the gum..so i gave the gum away..... and just used PK chewing gum ..and each morning my mouth felt so beautiful and fresh ,and after time,..i was getting addicted to that PK in the morning hahahTrue ,

so i thought oh no, id better stop ,cause i also was getting a sore tongue and little ulcers :)

but you know what the secret is???

SELF TAlK.

every now and then id get an urge to smoke ..

then id say to myself ,i dont smoke any more and i love the fact i dont smoke..

and i was so happy i did not smoke..

i felt FREE..

i dont STINK

and i feel so RICH ..the patches are cheaper than what my smokes were for the week ..

i took about 5 months before i was brave enough to stop the patches .,.

i asked the chemist if it was OK.,

what i did, i weaned my self off the patches by cutting a patch into 3/.4 ..

not sure now if i did that for a month or a week..( anyways i used the last packet for this) ''

then i cut it in half..

then i cut the half in half lol ..and id stick them on with band aids or even sticky tape

..by doing this ,made it easy to wean off them

and even NOW i tell myself no matter how stressed /sad etc ..ill Never smoke again cause its so good not smoking. FREEDOM!!!!!!!

PS..hubby went cold turkey. And thats ok. if you can..but i needed the patches

dont forget ..self talk is really the secret./.if ya say ya cant do it..ya cant

Cancer Research UK say 95% safer than tobacco to the user and 100% safer to others in the vicinity, the "smoke" is really just steam. There is so much ignorance in many of your other answers.

No way to know what's really in them. So far 5 dead and hundreds hospitalized with serious lung damage.

from a smoker ( me ) it's bad. no way around smoking that can be deemed healthy tbh. technically it is a healthier alternative to smoking cigs. but it isn't healthy in general. smoking honestly isn't worth starting. regardless no matter the way you look at it everything in life is bad for you. even the food we eat is bad. WAY too many salt and sugar in them which is unhealthy.

The nicotine in e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes is addictive. ... Besides nicotine, e-cigarettes can contain harmful and potentially harmful ingredients, including: ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs. flavorants such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to serious lung disease.

Smoking is harmful. Period.

It’s kind of like asking whether a power hour of Bud Light is healthier than power hour of Michelob Ultra. They’re both going to get you pretty ****** up.

They give you doucheitis with a 100% contraction rate.

Very very bad. Stinky.
