The electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) was first developed by a Chinese company based in Hong Kong in 2004, since then they spring up and now sold in several other countries including Brazil, Britain, Canada, Finland and Israel. The World Health Organisation (WHO) angrily denounced to e-cigarette products that endorses so-called e-cigarettes as a means to stop smoking. Genuinely shockingly– as e-cigarette companies most like you believing but, WHO brazen plastered the organization’s name and logo across promotional material as sign an endorsement of the product. WHO anti-tobacco official told journalists that actually not a therapy for smokers to quit, Douglas Bettcher from WHO anti-tobacco says:

It’s 100 percent false to affirm this is a therapy for smokers to quit. he also warned that there are a number of chemical additives in the product which could be very toxic. Actually that e-cigarete product untested as a nicotine replacement therapy. If the marketers of the electronic cigarette want to help smokers quit, then they need to conduct clinical studies and toxicity analyses.

So while WHO accuses e-cigarette brings same effects to traditional cigarette, chain smoker think possibility there dangerous side effects from e-cigarettes product. Moreover there are still plenty of health issues surrounding liquid nicotine and the WHO isn’t about to let you forget it.
