Do smoking bans apply to e-cigarettes?

378. not true

nicotine by its self is not highly addictive, its equal to the addictiveness of caffeine. It also has the same side effects as caffeine. Will not give heart disease. The nicotine that is in e-cig juice is the same as you find in the FDA approved patches, and all the other NRTs.

Its the smoking tobacco that gives the heart disease and all the other health problems. Using nicotine by its self does not cause these health problems.


"When nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products were first marketed almost 30 years ago to help people stop smoking, there wasn't a lot of data available on how long consumers could safely use them, and whether they could be used in combination with other NRTs or continued smoking.

That has changed in the intervening years as researchers conducted studies and clinical trials.

Now, the Food and Drug Administration—after reviewing scientific research on the safety of NRT products sold over the counter (OTC)—has decided that some warnings and limitations specified in the directions for use on the labels of these products are no longer necessary to make sure they are used safely and effectively to quit smoking.

The changes that FDA is allowing to these labels reflect the fact that although any nicotine-containing product is potentially addictive, decades of research and use have shown that NRT products sold OTC do not appear to have significant potential for abuse or dependence."

Remember the nicotine in e-juice is the same medical grade nicotine that is used in the NTRs including the Nicorette inhaler.
And like with the NTRs the only people that would opt to use the e-cig would be a person that smokes.


"Nicotine replacement therapy is safe when used properly. Nicotine by itself is not nearly as harmful as smoking. Tars, carbon monoxide, and other toxic chemicals in tobacco cause harmful effects, not the nicotine."
"Heart disease. Nicotine replacement therapy has been shown to be safe in most people with heart disease. But if you recently had a heart attack or if you have serious heart problems, such as an irregular or rapid heartbeat (arrhythmia) or chest pain (angina), consult your doctor before you use nicotine replacement products."

Remember the nicotine that is contained In e-juice is the same medical grade nicotine used in the NRTs. How can one be safe for use and fda approved and the other is not safe, its the same nicotine.
