Electronic Cigarettes (“e cigarette”) are electronic devices that vaporize a liquid solution, usually referred to as “e liquid” or “e juice”, to produce clean water vapour with appearance, sensation and flavour of regular smoking without any combustion. The resulting vapour doesn’t contain any tar, carbon monoxide or the other 4000 chemicals normally present in ordinary tobacco cigarettes, hookahs and cigars. The toxin free e liquid used in electronic cigarette consists of 3 main categories of e liquid ingredients and typically no more than 5 total ingredients most of which we consume regularly anyways. Because they do not produce any foul odour or smoke, they facilitate a more pleasant social experience, and can be legally used indoors at offices, public transportation, restaurants, hotels and other places, but within reason and subject to special private property policies. Smokers who switch 180 can save thousands of dollars annually. A 1 pack per day smoker will save in excess of $2,500 in addition to reduced dental bills and lower mint/gums expenses.

Smokeless electronic nicotine e cigarettes australia
The best place to find a full range of electronic cigarettes in Australia that actually have nicotine in them is online. Despite the fact that as quoted in the BBC
“E cigs could be the ‘greatest health advance’ since vaccines’ in terms of saving lives on the planet, if all smokers were to switch”
from http // h 26036064
But here is one reason why that can’t be bought in Australia According to http // /story/2070320/authorities warn on dangers of e cigarettes/?cs 87
‘E CIGARETTES might seem like a healthy way to quit smoking but they can be dangerous, and even fatal’.
National and Tasmanian health authorities are concerned about the use of e cigarettes in Australia, due to the lack of evidence on their safety and efficacy.
Director of Public Health, Dr Roscoe Taylor, said (1) recent tests of products available in Tasmania had revealed some samples of the liquid, also known as e juice and e liquid, had enough nicotine to cause serious illness, or even death if swallowed.
“Parents using e cigarettes should be very careful as small children may find the liquids enticing as some have fruit flavoured or sweet additives,” Dr Taylor said.
“Children in other parts of Australia have come to harm ingesting the liquid and at least one death has already been reported overseas.”
Cancer Council Tasmania director of cancer control Dr Kathyrn Terry, said it was illegal to sell e cigarettes with nicotine in Australia.
“E cigarettes and their cartridges can be sold in Tasmania provided the cartridges do not contain nicotine,” Dr Terry said.
“If it contains nicotine, it is a breach of the Tasmanian Poisons Act 1971 and penalties apply.”
Nicotine is classed as a schedule 7 poison because of its capacity to cause harm to human health.
Where nicotine for use in an e cigarette is for therapeutic purposes it is a prescription only medicine.
A spokeswoman for the Federal Department of Health said e cigarettes had not been evaluated by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) as safe or effective.
“The manufacturers of e cigarettes have not yet provided evidence that their products are a safe and efficacious form of smoking cession therapy,” she said.
“Nor have they provided any evidence to authorities of the overall safety, quality or efficacy of these products.”
