RE: Ex smokers...

Hi all, while I applaud everyone in their efforts to give up smoking ( which I did 22 years ago after 40 a day for 5-6 years cold turkey) I question the safety of using ecigs. I have close friend who started using one of the very early ones, and while not smoking real cigs you would assume that you are doing yourself a favour, he has become very ill. He now has a serious liver condition that the doctors cant find any cure for. He was asked if he had any major lifestyle changes in the last year, stopping smoking was the obvious answer, but whether the stopping or the use of the ecig was the cause of his serious condition we cant tell. I would still urge anyone who takes up the use of these substitutes to be very wary. As far as I know the has been no UK government research into their safety. They seem like a safe alternative, but until proven please be careful. Stopping completely is the only way. Good luck and good health.
