What are the contents to an electric cigarette ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nicotine : ...and solvents, (Glycerol, end propylene glycol) which when heated produce (among other things) formaldehyde. Many also contain flavorings like fruit or "bubble gum". These flavorings make children more prone to starting eCig use which can be a problem. Its not at all clear whether eCigs will ultimately reduce or increase the use of tobacco products (which are simply nicotine delivery devices)
