We all know that cigarettes are unhealthy for you.  But are E cigarettes safer for you than tobacco cigarettes?

E-cigarettes have triggered a fierce debate among health experts who share the same goal -- reducing the disease and death caused by tobacco. But they disagree about whether e-cigarettes make the problem better or worse.

The answer is that  E cigarettes do indeed have less of the toxins associated with cigarette smoking for it is "smokeless":  there aren't all those chemicals produced by the combustion of tobacco leaves.  However, E cigarettes obviously have you inhale nicotine which isn't the safest of chemicals to be introducing into your body.  Still, they probably decrease the over all risk of cigarette smoking.
