What you should know before you buy a “Cigarette electronique”
“La cigarette electronique”, also commonly known as the electronic cigarette or E-cigarette has received a lot of praise on internet blogs and non-smoking forums. Though there are a number of advantages of adopting the use of the cigarette electronique, no scientific evaluation on its benefits or risks is as yet available. Personal reviews over the internet boast of helping chain smokers to gradually lose their dependence on tobacco cigarettes and eventually help them quit. However, one must be aware of using any kind of smoking equipment before catching on the habit.
The cigarette electronique is cheaper than traditional cigarettes, environment friendly and has an artificial flavour of nicotine, providing the user the same physiological sensations as the traditional cigarette minus the harmful effects. In the absence of any known toxic or carcinogenic substances, the cigarette electronique has been dubbed “a revolutionary product” by media. Nevertheless, it should be kept in mind that the Afssaps (French Agency for the Safety of Health Products) recommends high caution to users, especially pregnant and breastfeeding women, elderly, those with a history of neurological disorders and epilepsy, sensitive to nicotine, cardiovascular risk or prone to hypertension. This product is not permitted for use by minors.
