Yes, there are chemicals in the e-cigs, but I thought that the resultant product of the heating of these was water vapour, but I am very happy to be corrected and educated if this is not so.
I still think that ultimately they will be safer than the chemicals in conventional cigarettes.....and that any efforts to reduce dependence on tobacco are to be applauded.
My father died a horrible death from lung cancer......and his last days stay with me in my memory....yes he was a smoker. He was given cigarettes as he embarked to fight in France in WWII....prior to that he had not smoked.

We're already on page two,not bad for a "non starter"
"The main ingredients found in the e-cigarette liquids are glycerin and glycol ethers, which are used as the liquid carrier into which all of the nicotine, flavorings and preservatives easily dissolve, Thornburg said. Those substances are not considered harmful."
Personally,I don't believe Thornburg or the public health minister if they say these chemicals are safe to be inhaled.
