A member asked:

Is it dangerous to smoke an electronical cigarette when you are taking oral contraceptives?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nicotine IS nicotine: Elctric cigarettes provide nicotine, the substance that induces addiction and craving of smoking. Regular cigarettes contain many other chemical substances/preservatives, some are carcinogenic (causes cancer), thus they are worse than electric ones. But nicotine still increases your risk of blood clot when using contraceptives. It is a bit safer choice, not without risk. Consult doc. Good luck.
