Many have concerns whether or not the safety of electronic cigarettes is something to worry about. Despite the health hazards of traditional cigarettes being well known, if one were to switch from a hazardous traditional cigarette they probably wouldn’t want to switch to another type of cigarette, electronic, which is also hazardous to ones health.
