These are the authors or visitors personal thoughts on the debate and are not based on any scientific study. E-cigarettes are a smoking alternative and are not marketed as a smoking cessation device and no legitimate manufacturer makes any such claim. E-cigarettes should not be confused with any FDA approved nicotine replacement therapy, for, like cigarettes, they are not FDA approved.
