History of e-cigs

E cigarettes  first appeared in China where they were invented and were introduced to the Western world in early 2007 to much acclaim, although it gained a lot of detractors as well as some fanatical proponents. The question asked by all those who were introduced to E cigs was “Do they really help you to stop smoking?” Of course the supporters of electronic cigarettes said yes: E cigs combined with e liquid are a direct replacement for smoking poisonous tobacco and will help save lives and a great deal of money for the consumers. However, the Food and Drugs Agency in the United States, and other health institutions across the world, reserved judgement preferring to wait and see the results the introduction of E cigs would have on the population. They wanted to know if and what the side effects would be and also called for some new regulations as they were not subject to laws on tobacco which make their use hard to regulate and so they were potentially available to minors.
