Nicotine: E-cig contains nicotine but not tar. All the effects of nicotine are still there including addiction. You can easily google the effects of nicotine. I, for one, think that e-cig is not for fad, but for treatment for smokers to be able to quit smoking more safely by using e-cig at decreasing doses and decreasing quantity.
