Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

It is hearty to know that you quit smoking. Congratulations on it. Recent researches show that electronic cigerette can also create health problems and are not 100% safe.

The electronic cigerette is a new concept and though tests were conducted for its safety, it is not conclusive enough. Therefore again you are taking a risk. Once you can stop actual cigerettes, why can't with electronic cigarettes. Nicotine in any form is bad.

Wish you speedy recovery
