I have a friend who has been using an e-cigarette for 10+ years. He doesn’t seem any less addicted to smoking as back when he was using old-fashioned cigarettes.

I understand e-cigarettes are supposed to help you quit… but has anyone actually had success with them? Or, is it more like trading one vice for another?

    An e-cigarette is just like a normal cigarette, but you’re not inhaling burned paper.

    There are literally thousands of other burned compounds that you’re inhaling besides the paper. Everything in a cigarette combusts, and all of the byproducts are things you shouldn’t be inhaling. It’s definitely not just the paper.
