The number of ingredients in E-cigarette and the outcome of those ingredients when used are vastly different and infinitely safer than those found in traditional cigarettes and cigars. It contains only water, propylene glycol, nicotine, a scent that emulates a tobacco flavor and a membrane to suspend the ingredients. None of these ingredients are considered cancer-causing agents. The Food and Drug Administration deems propylene glycol safe. Nicotine itself is not believed to have toxicological effects, offers some therapeutic uses and can be found in pepper, tomato, eggplant and potato. Cigarettes and cigars, meanwhile, commonly contain tobacco, hundreds of additives, nicotine, glue and paper, which when ignited, according to the Centers for Disease Control, harm nearly every organ of the body, and cause cancer, and cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
