Hi Ashley
I bought the e-cigarrette while I was preparing for my quit. But I bought the zero nicotine cartridges. But I didn't use it. I was afraid I will reafirm the hand to mouth action associated with cigarrettes.I saw it first as a way of having the same motion without the nicotine. But I opted for straws cut the size of a cigarrette that I felt as fake, but worked.
I do think that e-cigarrettes can be another addiction, like the people that get addicted to the nicotine gum or lozenges.

Members,

Health Canada warns Canadians not to use the E-cigerette. In an article that can be found on the Health Canada website (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ahc-asc/media/advisories-avis/_2009/2009_53-eng.php) Health Canada discusses the Electronic Cigarette.

For those of you who don’t know, the e-cigarette is intended to be used as an NRT. It resembles a real cigarette and contains an atomizer, battery and cartridge of nicotine. You do not have to light it, you simple suck on the tube and a vapor containing nicotine and propylene glycol is inhaled.

Health Canada stats that although the e-cigarettes are safer than real cigarettes; the product still poses risks to the consumer. Some potential risks are nicotine poisoning and addiction. No form of e-cigarette has been accepted as compliant with the Food and Drugs Act and no sale of the product has been allowed in Canada.

Members, what are your thoughts on the e-cigarette?
