Intro:

It is another bizarre twist in the electronic cigarette battle over the safety of this new product that has hundreds of thousands of followers across the United States and a growing number of supporters around the world.

ASH UK has all but put their name on the dotted line in endorsement of the e cigarette as a safe and plausible substitute to the traditional tobacco cigarette with their new report and also agrees with the e cigarette industry that they may be an acceptable alternative to tobacco. . . .

While ASH does believe that e cigarettes may be a good alternative to tobacco, they have some concerns about the e cigarette and states "most deliver a low dose of nicotine which may not give a typical smoker a sufficient 'hit' to satisfy cravings, discouraging smokers from continuing to use them."

ASH UK does not seem to be worried about high doses of nicotine, but rather that the e cigarette does not deliver enough nicotine which is a direct contradiction of the American based ASH, which has been openly caught in a conflict of interest in its attack on e cigarettes in the United States by accepting funds from major pharmaceutical companies who may compete in an open market someday concerning cessation products.

http://www.ecigarettesnational.com is a full service retailer of the e cigarette.
