Irritation: The aerosolized vapors from e-cigarettes contain many constituents -- including small particles that can irritate your throat and respiratory system. http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0057987 your throat irritation is not likely to leave as long as you use this product. I'm glad you don't want any real cigarettes, but smoking anything is not a good idea.
