Safer but not safe: Vaporized nicotine is almost certainly much safer than tobacco but that does not mean it is safe. Adequate research has not been done. I feel it can be useful to help you stop smoking but please don't continue it long-term. See http://wapo.St/oom8qu ; http://www.Medicalnewstoday.Com/articles/249784.Php
