Abstract
It is a common misconception that e-cigarettes are safer than tobacco smoking, given their adverse cardiopulmonary effects, habituation, and the fact that it is only a fashion based manifestation to sell and use them. Therefore, the use of e cigarettes should not be encouraged as an alternative and pragmatic measure should be taken to profess this agenda.
