Are e-cigs safe for the elderly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same as non-elderly: It's doubtful that e-cigs & vaporizers are any safer for elderly than non-elderly. If anything, smoking in general is worse, because lung function deteriorates w/age. So it's always best to quit smoking rather than substitute one form for another. Currently we don't have much info on e-cigs & vaporizers.
