electronic cigarette A battery powered cigarette, cigar or pipe that uses a canister filled with liquid nicotine in various potencies. A vapor is inhaled and exhaled, giving the person the sensation of a real cigarette and the appearance of smoking tobacco. The inhalation triggers the unit to make the head glow red and atomize the liquid into a vapor. Also called "e-cigarettes," they are not designed to wean people from smoking; rather, their claim is that they are healthier because they have no tar and that people can use them in areas where tobacco would be prohibited.Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The tiny battery inside the e-cigarette vapourizes liquid nicotine capsules producing the nicotine "smoke" while the tip even lights up when you inhale to give the realistic effect of smoking a cigarette all this without the usual carcinogens found in traditional cigarettes like tar, carbon monoxide, and arsenic. However, sadly in September 2008, the World Health Organization issued a release proclaiming that it does not consider the e-cigarette to have enough research to be considered a legitimate smoking cessation aid. |
