It's so new, however, people are looking for any excuse to say they're off the cigs. But have they curbed that addiction to an unhealthy substance? No, they've transferred it to another unhealthy substance which hasn't been tested half as much and the longterm effects aren't yet known.

Its true that they didn't find out about the harm from tobacco tar for some time but then they weren't in modern times and didn't have the knowledge or facilities they have today. Yes, to an extent its a wait and see but from the massive amount of modern research done so far, things are looking positive.

What kills smokers is tar. Nicotine is addictive and when smoked it can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate, but when nicotine is consumed without smoke, blood pressure and heart rate dont increase. Nicorette also contains a harmless form of nicotine.

Its got nothing to do with saying your off cigarettes. I would love to give up nicotine and good grief, I've tried time and again. I've seen people on oxygen in hospital being wheeled outside for a smoke. Addiction is a horrible thing and not something anyone willingly wants. If I can give up the tar, at least that's something.
