A member asked:
I quit smoking for a month now, but could not do it cold turkey, so i have an e-cigarette to get me through the cravings. what is the long term effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: the e-cigarettes haven't been out that long. THere is certainly some risk of lung damage and even cancer but almost certainly MUCH less than with tobacco.
