In reply to the discussion: E-Cigs I am about to start. Quitting is the goal [View all]cynatnite
(31,011 posts)While not overly serious, there are issues with lung and esophageal irritation. Some individuals react differently than others. While they may experience more symptoms such as coughing and whatnot, others were not severe at all. Large doses of exposure is not recommended because symptoms are more severe, but this is highly unlikely with e-cigs because the doses are minimal. There is more risk with the low doses of nicotine than PG. Of course, those with lung ailments should tread carefully with these. I would probably get an opinion from a physician before using it if I was going to quit smoking with the product.
As with any product, an ounce of common sense goes a long way.
I read some on Wiki and found the info scattered about the tubes and whatnot. I personally still don't care for the idea of inhaling chemicals, but that's because I spent a lot of years inhaling chemicals. I would still probably urge people to only use it to help with the cravings, but not as a substitute for smoking.
That last paragraph is just my opinion for what little it's worth.
