News on E-Cigs

 

I am not proud to say this - especially on a cancer site - but I am 'coming out'!  Here goes .... I am Max56 and I smoke occasionally!  I dont drink, dance naked in public places or have any other vices (that I would put on a public forum anyway) but I find it sooooo hard to let go of the odd ciggie in times of stress!

In view of the news today surrounding e-cigs, I am considering trying out electronic cigs. Are there any links to give me information on their safety?  They have surely got to be better than the real thing and no different than a patch or gum? Are you classified as a non-smoker with the 'e's?

Has anyone any experience or wise words about e cigs please?  Are there any safety issues regarding inhaling the vapour?  Could the Government still be keeping us guessing because of the revenue they will lose if everyone switches to them?

Gosh - its quite therapeutic to make such an admission - lets see if others will follow suit haha!

  • Hello Max,

    Thanks for sharing your big secret :) ; it's nice to know you trust us all here and it's good to hear you don't actually dance naked in public places (that made me laugh!).

    This blog post will answer a lot of your questions, including whether e-cigs are safer than cigarettes. Find out more too about the promise and challenges of e-cigarettes here. We also have a news report which was only unpublished yesterday and which I strongly recommend you read. Our Cancer Chat manager, Sarah, actually posted today about this news report so I will also point you in the direction of her latest thread on this topic - which is here.

    I hope all these links will answer all your questions, but if any of these remain unanswered, let us know and we will be happy to find out for you!

    Best wishes,

    Lucie
