Yeah there is a lot of cool e-cig stuff out there. But I would think it's still cheaper in the long run. There is a lot of studies that still need to be done.

There is a lot of studies that still need to be done. My personal theory is that since 1/3 of smoking related deaths are due to nicotine, e-cigs are about 66% "safer" than analog cigs.
- mercer 13y agoInteresting. I was under the assumption that nicotine is no more dangerous than caffeïne, and that the primary danger of smoking is inhalation of burning tobacco particles (and some other chemicals). A cursory glance at the wikipedia article also doesn't mention that nicotine is that dangerous. Could you elaborate? I'm honestly curious.
- SimpleXYZ 13y agoWell, consuming straight nicotine is a brand new phenom, and science is racing to catch up. Give it 10 years for any definitive science to be peer reviewed, confirmed, and then generally accepted. Take a look at things like this: http://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20060720/nicotine-speeds-lung-cancer http://www.webmd.com/cancer/news/20060720/nicotine-speeds-lu... I can't find my original sources, so please, take my personal theories with a grain of salt... Many years ago I was studying the types of cancer smokers are more likely to get other than lung cancer. After my uncontrollable urge to crunch numbers, I came up with 2/3 lung cancer, 1/3 other cancer and made an unscientific guess that nicotine plays a big part in the non-lung cancer related illness.
