E Cigarettes: Although billed as a "safer" alternative to tobacco, are far from safe. They are still filled with chemical components, and in one chemical analysis were found to carry ten times the number of cancer causing chemicals in cigarettes. You may want to consider avoiding them altogether. Hope this helps!
