Many tobacco smokers have switched to the e cigarette instead of tobacco because they are seeing that it is a better alternative. Professional studies have shown that the risk from the e cigarette are supposedly much lower than the risk that comes with smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. There is no combusted smoke in the e cigarette as there is with the traditional cigarette, and most health care professionals and the studies that they completed states that combusted materials are what is responsible for most of the harm from smoking. With the e cigarette, there is no smoke, but just a vapor that is made of things that are on the FDA GRAS list (generally recognized as safe) other than the nicotine that smokers desire.
Since the e cigarette does not use combustion, there is little risk of fire because there is no flame or ember to set something on fire. As soon as the smoker stops taking a drag on the e cigarette, the unit stops producing anything, so falling asleep with it is harmless. There is also no trash to be littered because the cartridges are refillable and thousands and thousands of trees could be saved each year in paper cost alone. This is the greenest alternative to smoking on the market as of yet.
Since you can lay your e-cigarette down almost anywhere you choose without any fear of flame, you might be tempted to lie it somewhere that your children, if you have any, could get a hold of it. This is not a good idea. If you have kids in the home, always put your device up where they do not have access to it. Remember that your e cigarette does contain nicotine solution that has never been meant for anyone under eighteen to use. Actually, even though you could use your electric cigarette in front of your children, it is probably not a good idea to even do that.
It is thought by many researchers that using an e cigarette is probably a much better choice than smoking tobacco, however, if you are a smart parent you had probably rather your children grow up and not smoke or use any other nicotine delivery device, even the electric cigarette. So, be a responsible parent and use your e-cigarette when your kids are not around so as not to entice them into using it or worse, taking up smoking tobacco when they are older. Electric cigarettes were never intended for use by minors and it is up to you to keep your e-cigarette away from your children.
