 Electronic cigarettes have become increasingly popular among smokers looking to quit, as well as those who want to avoid second-hand smoke exposure.

Some users expressed concern over the potential toxicity of the devices, and there is a lack of research into the safety and effectiveness of electronic cigarettes.
