R e cigarettes good for you?

Good for you, NO: They may be just somewhat "less bad" than traditional cigarettes. They still flood your body with numerous harmful chemicals. Where they may have some advantage is by lowering the exposure of those around you to hazardous second hand smoke.

Simply NO: Still nicotine, and addictive, even without some of the other carcinogens. Fda also reports trouble!
